Sha’Carri Richardson secured her first Olympic gold medal after a thundering anchor leg in the women’s 4×100 relay on Friday.
The Americans – Richardson, Gabby Thomas, Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry – braved a wet track in rainy conditions to win the team’s 12th Olympic medal in the event. They did it in a time of 41.78 seconds – a season-best.
Great Britain and Germany came in second and third respectively.

Hyundai and Kia are recalling more than 208,000 electric vehicles to fix a problem that can cause the loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall covers more than 145,000 Hyundai and Genesis including some IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 EVs along with Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 and Genesis G80 models.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the vehicles’ transistors in a charging control unit may get damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, “which can result in a loss of drive power.”
In the Kia recall, nearly 63,000 EV6 vehicles from 2022 through 2024 are impacted.
Car dealers will inspect and replace the control unit and a fuse if needed, as well as update software. Owners whose vehicles were recalled earlier this year to fix the same problem will have to visit their dealer again.
Owners will be notified by letter in December and January.
