It s time to add another medal to Team USA s total in Tokyo.
Team USA triathlete Katie Zaferes received a bronze medal for her efforts in the women s triathlon event on Monday night. She became just the third U.S. triathlete to ever receive an Olympic medal, building her legacy as one of the most dominant triathletes in American history. Zaferes was the 2019 World Triathlon Champion, and she represented Team USA in Rio in 2016.
Zaferes was one of three Team USA triathletes to finish in the top 20 on Monday evening. Summer Rappaport posted a 14th-place finish, while Taylor Knibb followed two sports behind. Bermuda s Flora Duffy earned the gold medal in Monday s triathlon event, marking the nation s first-ever Olympic gold medal. Great Britain s Georgia Taylor-Brown took silver in the triathlon.
Out of a tropical storm of grey and black came a blue, white and red bolt of towering resilience and talent. It wasn t a gold medal that Georgia Taylor-Brown won on the shores of Tokyo Bay, but rarely has a silver looked so impressive.
What a remarkable performance, and what a nutty finale to a barmy race.
The key point is this – she was flying along on the bike, part of a breakaway of five for the better part of 40km, when one of those Olympic twists of fate went against her. She punctured her rear tyre and it let the air right out of her party.

Ever since Australia opened the 2000 Games with the women’s triathlon in the sure belief that home favourite Michellie Jones would triumph in the sport’s Olympic debut only to see her finish second behind Switzerland’s Brigitte McMahon, things have rarely followed the plot.
