Five days into the Olympic track and field competition, Team USA is well on their way to matching their Tokyo medal count of 26. With 11 medals — three of them gold — the US leads all nations in the sport, with Kenya siting in second place with three medals.

US women make Olympic history

Triple jumper Jasmine Moore kicked things off on Saturday, becoming the first US woman in history to win bronze in her event. 

Then yesterday, Tokyo discus gold medalist Valarie Allman notched a 69.50-meter toss, becoming just the third woman to secure back-to-back golds in the event.

St. Lucia's Alfred takes fastest woman title

Though two US women made Saturday’s 100-meter podium — Sha’Carri Richardson won silver while Melissa Jefferson won bronze — it was Julien Alfred who raced into the history books. 

The 23-year-old secured Saint Lucia’s first-ever Olympic medal with her gold medal win, finishing 0.15 seconds ahead of Richardson — the event's largest margin of victory since 2008.

Missing from this year’s 100-meter race was 2008 gold medalist and Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who failed to run in her qualifying semifinal days after fellow Jamaican and 100-meter favorite Shericka Jackson bowed out of the event.

And with three of the eight-runner lineup repping Team USA, including gold medal–favorite and world No. 2 Gabby Thomas, Tuesday's race to watch is the 200-meter final, which takes off at 3:40 PM ET.

Where to watch Team USA compete in Olympic track and field events

Track and field events will continue through August 11th, with live coverage across NBC networks.

Gabby Thomas is headed to Tokyo.

The American sprinter put on a show in the 200m final on Saturday, posting a blazing time of 21.61 seconds to speed past the competition and earn a spot on her first Olympic team.

Thomas set a U.S. Olympic track and field trials record with her time. She also clocked the third-fastest 200m ever; only Florence Griffith Joyner has run faster in the race, with times of 21.34 and 21.56 in 1988.

Jenna Prandini and Anavia Battle also qualified for the Olympics, finishing second and third behind Thomas.

Allyson Felix finished fifth and will not be racing in the 200m in Tokyo. Felix will compete in the 400m, which she qualified for earlier in the trials.
