It’s been a busy night in the Olympic Stadium. Here are some highlights.
Andre De Grasse of Canada claimed his second medal of the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday, sprinting to gold in the men’s 200 meters in 19.62 seconds, a national record. He was followed by three athletes from the United States: Kenny Bednarek won the silver (19.68) and Noah Lyles was third for the bronze (19.74). Erriyon Knighton, the 17-year-old high school student from Tampa, Fla., was fourth. De Grasse,26, won bronze in the 100 meters this week. He is now a five-time Olympic medalist.
