2016 Olympics track and field results: Usain Bolt is still golden, Wayde van Niekerk is a world record holder

Make it three for Usain Bolt. The Jamaican star of sprinting overcame a slow start and passed Justin Gatlin in the race’s final 30 meters before easing up over the line and pounding his chest as he won his third consecutive gold medal in the 100 meters -- becoming the first man in history to do so.

Now Bolt can be the first man in history to complete the sprint sweep for the third consecutive Olympics. He won the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay in Beijing and London, and is on pace to do so in Rio, too. He’s expected to win the 200 and Jamaica should be able to hold off the U.S. team in the 4x100.

Bolt’s the greatest sprinter of all time, now he’s doing his best to make it so no one can catch him ever.

Here’s a look at all the other action from track and field on Sunday in Rio:

The race of the night came in the 400 meters, where South Africa’s Wayde van Niekerk ran 43.03 seconds in the 400 meters to win gold and set a new world record, taking down Michael Johnson’s mark of 43.18 seconds from 1999. The South African ran the race of his life from Lane 8, becoming the first person to ever win an Olympic gold from the track’s outermost lane (some tracks do have nine lanes). He is coached by his great-grandmother, and she was in the stands to watch him make history. Behind van Niekerk were Kirani James of Grenada, who won gold in 2012, and LaShawn Merritt of the U.S., who won gold in 2008. Both James and Merritt broke 44 seconds as well, but it wasn’t enough to beat the fastest 400 of all time.

The U.S. women brought their best on Sunday morning, even if it wasn’t good enough for a medal. Shalane Flanagan, a bronze medalist in the 10,000 meters in 2008, was sixth, Desiree Linden was seventh and Amy Cragg finished ninth, making it the first time in history the U.S. women had three women in the top 10. Kenya’s Jimima Sumgong won gold, becoming the first woman from the African country, a distance-running hotbed, to win gold.

Ibargüen leapt 15.17 meters (49’9.25) on her fourth jump of the triple jump competition and never looked back, holding on to win her first gold medal after taking silver in 2012. She had the second best jump of the evening, too, cementing herself as the best jumper in the field. Venezuela’s Yulimar Rojas won the silver with a jump of 14.98 meters and Olga Rypakova finished third with a leap of 14.74 meters. The U.S.‘s Keturah Orji finished just out of the medals in fourth with a jump of 14.71 meters.

Felix coasted to an easy win in her 400 meter semifinal, winning in 49.67 seconds. Felix was hoping to race for gold in the 200 and 400 in Rio, but an ankle injury that kept her out of the 200 has turned her quest for double gold into a race for redemption. Felix had the fastest time in the semifinals, running quicker than Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson (49.83) and country mate Natasha Hastings (49.90). They’ll race for gold on Monday night in Rio.
