PARIS — Kate Douglass, understated as ever, glided to the wall, then rose to the surface, and, after a few short seconds, she smiled.
She had just won gold in the 200-meter breaststroke here at the 2024 Olympics on Thursday. She had outraced South African veteran Tatjana Smith and touched in 2:19.24, a new personal best and American record. She had clinched Team USA its fourth swimming gold of these Games.
