Gabby Thomas added to the United States' track and field medal haul, winning the women’s 200 meters by a comfortable margin during the 2024 Olympics.
Gabby Thomas sped to the victory in the women’s 200 meters at the 2024 Olympics on Tuesday night, finishing in 21.83 seconds to add a gold to the bronze she took home in the event from Tokyo three years ago. The 27-year-old Harvard graduate, who has a master's degree in public health, took the lead for good at the curve and was never challenged in the final stretch. She let out a shout and grabbed her head with both hands after crossing the line.
Out of three sprints so far on the purple track at Stade de France, the Americans have picked up two golds: Thomas followed Noah Lyles in the men's 100 to the top step of the podium. After she earned her degree at Harvard, Thomas enrolled at the University of Texas, where she studied sleep patterns of different ethnic groups — while also making the wise choice to double down on her track training.
