Olympic Track and Field 2021: Men's 400m Medal Winners, Times and Results

Steven Gardiner became the first man from the Bahamas to win the men's 400 meters at the Summer Olympics on Thursday.

Gardiner beat out two-time medalist Kirani James of Grenada and Anthony Zambrano from Colombia to claim his first-ever gold medal.

For a brief moment, the Bahamas now holds the Olympic titles in both 400-meter races at the Olympics. Shaunae Miller won the women's race in Rio de Janeiro.

The 25-year-old Gardiner is now the owner of the World Championships and Olympics gold in the event.

Zambrano came in second, while James added a bronze to his 2012 gold and 2016 silver.
