The United States adds yet another gold medal to its impressive resume at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The women's 4x100 relay team raced to a 41.78 finish, earning gold on Friday, Aug. 9. Sha'Carri Richardson was the team's anchor, receiving the baton in fourth place at the start of the 100 meters.

Richardson ran a 10.09, which isn't her best albeit it was heavily raining in Paris during the race. Twanisha Terry had the team's best time at 9.98 during the second leg. Gabby Thomas and Melissa Jefferson were also a part of the relay team.

It's Richardson's first gold medal in her first set of Olympic Games. The USA star earned silver in the 100-meter individual final.

Great Britain was the United States' biggest threat as expected, as the nation came in second place. Germany medaled as well, finishing in third.

No team broke any world or Olympic records in the process, though that wasn't likely considering the inclement weather.

Other teams included in the final were the Netherlands, Canada, Jamaica, France and Switzerland.
