The U.S. women’s 4×400 relay team, the final track event at an epic Olympics, blazed to the gold medal with a time of 3:15.27.
Shamier Little, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas and Alexis Holmes put together a dominant performance illustrative of American track and field’s dominance in the 33rd Olympiad.
It doubled the gold medal count from the Tokyo Games when it took home 26 total medals.
Thomas won her third gold medal of these games: one in the 200-meter hurdles, and two as the third leg in both relays.
McLaughlin-Levrone secured her second gold medal, joining Thomas and Rai Benjamin as the Americans in track and field with multiple golds.
