Harvard-grad Gabby Thomas sprints to 200-meter gold medal for the United States
SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — Gabby Thomas sped to the win 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 Masters in public health, took the lead for good at the curve and was never challenged in the final stretch. She grabbed her head with both hands after winning.
Thomas beat 100-meter champion Julien Alfred by 0.25 seconds, while Brittany Brown of the U.S. got the bronze.
