Team USA Track and Field Adds Two Golds
Team USA’s excellence continued on Friday with two more gold medals added to the collection. Rai Benjamin crossed the line first in the Men 400m hurdles event. Unfortunately, a botched hand-off disqualified the men’s 4x100m relay team for medaling in that event.
The women’s 4x100m relay team did get the job done for the United States. The 4x100m relay team consisted of Sha’Carri Richardson, Gabby Thomas, Melissa Jefferson, and Twanisha Terry. While the Americans did not run a perfect race, they got the baton to Richardson for a memorable finish on the last 100 meters of the track. “I just remember trusting Gabby and knowing that she’s going to put this thing in my hand no matter what,” Richardson said, “and to leave my best on the track.”
Gabby Thomas wins her second gold of the 2024 Paris Olympics adding this victory to her Women’s 200m win. Sha’Carri Richardson received a silver medal in the Women’s 100m, while Melissa Jefferson received bronze in the same race. It was the first medal of the Summer Games for “TeeTee” Terry.

The swimming pool in Saint-Denis, France has held countless exceptional moments during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Once Katie Ledecky captured her fourth gold medal, many Americans turned their attention to Track and Field, however, the pool at the 2024 Paris Olympics was not closed. Over the last few days, the People’s Republic of China has been unmatched in the diving competition with a seven-for-seven performance and a chance to make that eight-for-eight during closing weekend.
China has won this two times over the last four Games, so victory is not assured. However, Chen Yiwen told reporters via an interpreter that the team feels prepared for history. “We’ll try our best and see about tomorrow,” Chang said. “We believe the effort put in by the Chinese diving team coupled with practice can ensure that success. Please believe in us.”
The Men’s 10m Platform final will be the final diving event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
