2024 Track & Field, Women’s 200m
Gabby Thomas
The women’s 200m was billed as a showdown between American Gabby Thomas and Saint Lucia’s Julian Alfred, who won gold in the 100m. But on the day, it was Thomas and no one else. The 27-year-old Atlanta native cruised to the gold medal with a time of 21.83 seconds, comfortably ahead of Alfred’s 22.08 seconds. Thomas’ U.S. teammate Brittany Brown took bronze. For Thomas, it was her third Olympic medal and first gold. She won silver in the 4×100 relay and bronze in the women’s 200m at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
