Olympic 2021 Medal Count: Final Tally, Winners from Day 11 Early Events

The United States' medal haul at the Tokyo Olympics is starting to receive the track and field bump we expected to see during the second week of competition.

On Day 11 of the Games, the United States produced six track and field medals from five different events. The only discipline in which the Americans did not medal was the women's hammer throw.

Nineteen-year-old Athing Mu became the latest star to write her name in American Olympic lore on Tuesday morning.

Mu became the first American woman to win the women's 800 meters since 1968. Mu breezed away from the field in the home stretch.
