Thea LaFond made history in #Paris2024 as she claimed the women's triple jump gold medal โ the first Olympic medal ever for the country of Dominica!
With Team USA's Win in the 4x400m, Quincy Wilson has become the youngest Male Gold Medalist in Track and Field History.
The previous youngest was Bob Mathias who won the decathlon at the 1948 Summer Olympics. He was only 17 years-old.

Letsile Tebogo was asked after winning the men's 200m final if he aspires to world records and being the face of track and field.
Here was his answer:
"I can't be the face of athletics because I'm not an arrogant or a loud person like Noah (Lyles)."
