Dominican Republic's Marileidy Paulino celebrates winning the women's 400m final and setting the new Olympic record at Stade de France on Aug. 9. Paulino had been unbeaten over the distance at four consecutive meets this year and stormed to a comfortable lead halfway through the lap before finishing in 48.17 seconds on a track still wet from earlier rain showers.
“I don’t know how to express it because there are so many emotions,” Paulino, who won silver in Tokyo, said. “It was really the only medal I needed to be one of the athletes to have conquered a gold Olympic cycle in a short time.” Rhasidat Adeleke finished fourth but still made history as the first woman from Ireland to reach an Olympic 400 final.
