After more than a century, the United States returned to the top of the podium in the men's 1,500-meter run Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, as Matthew Centrowitz Jr. held off Taoufik Makhloufi of Algeria to take gold in the 2016 Olympics.
Centrowitz led for much of the race, and while Makhloufi's late kick nearly spoiled the moment for Team USA, the 2012 London Olympic gold medalist was unable to complete the comeback.
Here is a look at the full finishing order, with New Zealand's Nicholas Willis slipping into third to secure bronze:
