– Nafi Thiam became the first multi-athlete in history to win three straight Olympic golds with her heptathlon title. Katarina Johnson-Thompson won silver and Noor Vidts won bronze.
– Marileidy Paulino became the 4th-fastest woman ever, winning Olympic gold in the process with her 400m time of 48.17. Salwa Eid Naser won the silver medal, and Natalia Kaczmarek won bronze in the quickest 3rd-place finish ever.
– Team Canada won the men's 4x100m relay gold, ahead of South Africa with silver and Team GB with bronze. Team USA was disqualified once again after an illegal first handoff.
