No. Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas won the women's 400-meter final at the Summer Olympics Monday, edging America's star runner Allyson Felix in a time of 49.44 seconds on a damp night in Rio de Janeiro.
Felix closed in on Miller in the closing meters – but she couldn't get ahead of her, finishing at 49.51. At the finish, Miller dove, or perhaps collapsed, across the line. It was a move that Felix later mirrored, as the toll of the race hit home.
Jamaica's Shericka Jackson won bronze, in a time of 49.85.
Felix, 30, now has seven Olympic medals, making her the most decorated female athlete in U.S. track and field's history. She passes Jackie Joyner-Kersee — who is also married to Felix's coach, Bob Kersee. Read more at NPR.
