Updated 2016 Rio Olympics medal count standings after Day 10 of the games and with Team USA’s Allyson Felix earning only a silver medal in the 400m
Entering Monday night at the 2016 Rio Olympics, all eyes at a flooding track and field venue were on Team USA’s Allyson Felix. Felix has been one of the most dominant athletes in track and field of all time and was looking to win again in the Women’s 400m on Day 10 of the Games and add another gold to increase the United States’ lead in the Rio Olympics medal count.
Instead, Felix could only manage the silver medal in the event as Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas ran a personal best at the most opportune time. Shericka Jackson of Jamaica came in third to win bronze.
Felix wasn’t the only American athlete to experience a letdown. Simone Biles medaled in the Women’s Beam competition for gymnastics, but it wasn’t the fourth gold of the Rio Olympics that she was hoping for. She suffered a highly uncharacteristic slip up that almost saw her fall off that got her knocked heavily. Her teammate in Laurie Hernandez finished ahead of her with silver while Sanne Wevers of Netherlands won the gold medal.
With these two events handing out medals in addition to a bevy of others, it’s less than surprising to see the movement that occurred in the 2016 Rio Olympics medal count.
