DINA ASHER-SMITH

Jamaica's Shericka Jackson is now a world champion after a mistake led to an early exit at the Tokyo Games.

Allyson Felix has “no regrets” after a seventh-place finish in the 200 meters of what was likely her final Diamond League meet.

There's no denying the absences felt in track and field -- both in the stands and on the starting blocks. But the athletes in Tokyo this year are breathing life into track and field with new remarkable feats of athleticism and altruism.

Asher-Smith, the 200 metres world champion, said she tore her hamstring before the Games.

The Tokyo Games got their first swimming individual world record and a fast start to the track competition on Day 7 of the Olympics.
