FloJo’s 33-year-old 10.62 Olympic record is gone as Thompson-Herah moved to #2 on the all-time list. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce earned her 4th Olympic 100m medal by taking silver in 10.74.
Ross let up at the line and missed out on the final auto spot in his heat by .03. China’s Lijiao Gong won the women’s shot put as the USA’s Raven Saunders & New Zealand’s Valerie Adams took silver & bronze.
Should Hassan pull off triple gold, it would automatically become the greatest accomplishment in the history of women's distance running. But with Faith Kipyegon, Gudaf Tsegay, Hellen Obiri, and Letesenbet Gidey standing in her way, she's no lock for gold in any event.
