SAINT-DENIS, France — Sha'Carri Richardson won her first Olympic gold medal, bringing the Americans from behind in the anchor lap to win the 4x100 relay.
Richardson, the 100-meter silver medalist, overcame runners from Britain and Germany to help the U.S. finish in 41.78 seconds. That was good for a .07-second win over Britain, which struggled with two baton changes in the rain.
Gabby Thomas ran the third leg and got her second gold of the Games, this one going with her 200-meter title.
Twanisha Terry and 100 bronze medalist Melissa Jefferson rounded out the team.
