JapanHaving failed in the men’s 400m final Tokyo 2020 on the afternoon of August 5, the American track and field team left the Olympics for the first time without winning a gold medal in the men’s short distance.

The US has two athletes in the final of the men’s 400m run this afternoon, but Michael Cherry is gone. Michael Norman finished fourth and fifth respectively with 44 seconds 21 and 44 seconds 31. The gold – silver – bronze medals respectively belonged to Steven Gardiner (Bahamian athlete – 43 seconds 85), Anthony Jose Zambrano (Colombia – 44) respectively. seconds 08) and Kirani James (Grenada – 44 seconds 19).
That result prevented the American track and field team from winning a gold medal in the men’s short-distance running events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, including 100m, 200m, 400m, 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles. This was unprecedented in the previous 30 times the US track and field attended the Summer Olympics, except for the 1980 one where they did not attend because of the boycott of the former Soviet Union.

In the 400m final on the afternoon of August 5, Norman entered impressively, and kept the lead in more than 250m. But the American runner failed to hold that position, being beaten by Gardiner, Zambrano and James in the last 150 meters of the race, respectively. Norman also let teammate Cherry – who has the best individual record (PB) with 42 seconds 21 – overtaken to take fourth place.
Norman has a Japanese mother, and he himself has great expectations when attending this Olympics in his mother’s hometown. But in fact, this 23-year-old runner is inferior to himself, because the result of 44 seconds 31 is slower than the 44 seconds 07 milestone that Norman once set in the internal competition of the US team to select athletes to attend Tokyo 2020.

Meanwhile, the victory on the afternoon of August 5 helped Steven Gardiner make history, becoming the first Bahamas male runner to win an individual gold medal in athletics at the Olympics. However, this result of 43 seconds 85 times is also a setback of this same athlete born in 1995, compared to the 43 seconds 48 mark when he won the world championship in Doha, Qatar in 2019.
South African star Wayde Van Niekerk – who holds the men’s 400m world record with 43 seconds 03 at the 2016 Rio Olympics – did not make it to the medal round. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee while attending a rugby match in 2017 and has been down since.
