Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone led a triumphant night for US athletics as further golds fell at the Paris Games to Americans in the women’s long jump and men’s 110m hurdles
in the women’s 400m hurdles and further golds at the Paris Games went to Americans in the women’s long jump and men’s 110m hurdles.
There were also golds for the US athletes Tara Davis-Woodhall in the long jump and the three-times world champion and silver medallist in Tokyo Grant Holloway, who cruised to victory in the men’s 110m hurdles. The race was won with a personal and African record of 19.46sec that leaves Tebogo as the fifth-fastest man over 200m.
Lyles had leapt and screamed to fire up the crowd as he made his way to the starting line but the announcement by US Track and Field officials immediately post-race that he had run while ill raises doubts over his involvement in the team relay. Its presence was hugely welcome after a disappointing regatta for Team GB in which the team had secured just one bronze in one of its traditionally strongest medal sports.
The couple, who are due to marry next month, were disqualified for being over at the start of the double points medal race in the mixed multihull boats.They had appeared well placed to win silver or bronze going into the final race but were distraught to finish in fourth.
