Throw in a last-leap long jump triumph for Malaika Mihambo, a near pole vault world record for Mondo Duplantis, a third straight hammer gold for Anita Wlodarczyk and scintillating sprinting in the men s 200m semis, and it all added up to a sparkling showcase for the Games number one sport.
Jamaican Thompson-Herah was in total control of the 200m final, roaring home in a 21.53 seconds, the second fastest time in history, to follow up her 100m triumph having also won both events in 2016. It feels amazing to win two golds again. I have had a rough week. I haven t slept after the 100m final, she told reporters.
