And no other sport offers more opportunities for individual medalists than track and field. It features 48 medal events — 11 more than second-place swimming — and 189 medals over the final 10 days of competition in Tokyo.
Several athletes are worth watching over the course of the track and field schedule — especially Allyson Felix. She will compete in the women’s 400-meter dash and perhaps the 4x400 women’s and mixed relays; one medal would tie her with Carl Lewis as the most decorated United States track and field athlete in Olympic history, while another would give her that distinction by herself. A third medal would tie her as the most decorated track and field athlete of all time.
Other notable U.S. athletes in these games: Noah Lyles, who finished third in the men’s 200 meters in his Olympic debut; Sydney McLaughlin, who set a world record in winning the women’s 400 hurdles over 2016 Rio gold medalist and U.S. teammate Dalilah Muhammad; and Gwen Berry, who failed to medal in the hammer throw.
