Gabby Thomas led from wire-to-wire in a dominant women's 200m victory, earning her first Olympic medal on Tuesday night at Stade de France. U.S. teammate Brittany Brown took bronze, and Julien Alfred earned silver. Watch the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC and streaming on Peacock, July 26 - Aug 11.
Gabby Thomas has done it. The U.S. track and field star won the gold medal that has long eluded her by finishing first in the 200-meter with a time of 21.83 on Tuesday at the Paris Olympics. Thomas bested Julien Alfred of St. Lucia for second and Brittany Brown of the U.S. for third. The result denied Alfred a double gold in both 100-meter and 200-meter. “You prepare for this moment and train so hard for this moment, but when it actually comes, it’s indescribable,” Thomas said.
After earning a silver medal in the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, she won the 2024 New York City Grand Prix in 22.42 and then in June posted the fastest time of any sprinter this year with a 21.78 at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Just before the Olympics, Thomas won the 2024 London Diamond League in 21.82. Thomas also won gold in the 4x100-meter relay in the World Championships.
