Over nine days at the near-empty Olympic Stadium, the women of track and field delivered a memorable show, both inside the lines and out. Some highlights included:—Hassan and her unrelenting journey toward three medals — two gold and one bronze — in three of the longest races held on the track. She ran the 200 in 21.53 and set the Olympic record in the 100: 10.61 seconds. Earlier in the meet, someone asked Muhammad, the hurdler, what she thought about all this women's dominance at the track - of America's seven gold medals in track and field, they won five. After watching them conquer records, overcome obstacles and make their messages heard over nine days and nights at the Olympic track, it was hard to say she was wrong.

Felix, who a day earlier took bronze in the 400 meters to become the most-decorated woman in Olympic track, has no plans to go any further. They had two things in common:—All won medals in their individual races over the nine days in Tokyo. Sifan Hassan completed the previously untried triple — 1,500, 5,000, 10,000 — by winning a gold medal in the longest race.

(AP Photo/Petr David Josek, File) (Petr David Josek)TOKYO — (AP) — The cauldron will be snuffed Sunday on the exhausting, enlightening, sometimes enraging 2020 Tokyo Olympics — held, actually, in 2021. The Olympics where tales of perseverance — spoken, documented and discussed loudly and at length — often overshadowed actual performance. IOC president Thomas Bach said two days before the close that the Tokyo Games “far exceeded my personal expectations," because when spectators were barred as a pandemic precaution he feared "these Olympic Games could become an Olympic Games without soul.”Instead, Bach said, he found the intimacy in the empty venues made for an intense atmosphere. "It is the responsibility of others — the United Nations, who have been very supportive of the Olympic Games, and governments to deal with this — and not for us.

The pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games finally come to a close after an exhausting, enlightening and sometimes enraging run.

(AP Photo/Martin Meissner) (Martin Meissner)TOKYO — (AP) — The new medal standard in Olympic women's track has been set. The 35-year-old Felix won her record 10th Olympic track medal Friday night at the Tokyo Games with a push down the home stretch of the 400 meters to take the bronze medal. American women also had a good day at the beach and on the courts, with one Olympic gold medal won and a couple more set up for the taking. The U.S. beach volleyball team of April Ross and Alix Klineman won gold in beach volleyball and the American women's basketball and volleyball teams won to advance to the gold medal finals in both sports.

U.S. track star Allyson Felix surpassed the record after winning bronze on Friday in the 400 meters at the Tokyo Olympics.

Felix's 10th Olympic medal broke a tie with Jamaican runner Merlene Ottey, and matches Carl Lewis, who also won 10 medals and was alone as the most decorated U.S. athlete in track. This is the first bronze medal of an Olympic career that spans back to the 2004 Athens Games. This week, she gave voice to the topic that's been filtering through the Tokyo Olympics — the pressure to win. Unspoken was the thought that she might walk away without a medal in her last individual Olympic race. Felix won it, then collapsed on the ground — smiling wide this time for third place, a result that put her alone in the record books.

She is tied with running legend Carl Lewis as the most decorated Olympic track and field athlete in U.S. history.

The 35-year-old has won six gold medals, three silver and now, one bronze — making her the most decorated female American track and field athlete in Olympic history.
