Brianna Rollins won gold and fellow Americans Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin won silver and bronze, respectively.

That includes the 2012 Olympics, when Dawn Harper won silver and Kellie Wells won bronze behind gold-medalist Sally Pearson of Australia.
The Americans' dominance in the final didn't come as that big of a surprise given all three advanced from Tuesday's prelims by winning their heats, with Rollins and Castlin posting the two fastest times while Ali was sixth overall.
Women's 200m final
Elaine Thompson got another sprint double for Jamaica at the Olympics. She blasted out of the blocks and never gave Dutch sprinter Dafne Schippers a chance to catch her on the straightaway of the 200 meters.
After winning the 100 on Saturday, Thompson now has a double that her compatriot has specialized in. She can make it a triple during the relay races Thursday and Friday.
Schippers said she had a groin injury that pushed her back into fifth place in the 100. And her final push in the 200 was not enough to play catch up.
Thompson ended in a season's best 21.78 seconds, for an edge of .10 over Schippers. Tori Bowie of the United States had bronze in Wednesday's race with 22.15.
