Another day, another gold medal for Team USA's fastest athletes.
On Friday, four of the United States' best sprinters lined up on the track at Stade de France in Paris for the women's 4x100-meter relay. Historically, the women have gone back and forth with Jamaica in this event in a longstanding rivalry; they came in a disappointing second to Jamaica at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Not today. With 100-meter star Sha'Carri Richardson anchoring—at one point during the final meters of the race, she looked over at her competition and grinned—Team USA pulled ahead of silver medalists Great Britain and won with a time of 41.
