US male runners are on track for their worst Olympic Games in history after failing to win a single gold medal at Tokyo2020
American male runners are facing their worst Olympic Games in history after failing to win a single gold medal on the track at the Tokyo Games.
But fast forward two years and the Americans are facing an inquest into what has gone wrong in Tokyo, where there is every chance the US men could fail to win an individual running gold medal for the first time in Olympic history. The dismal run continued in the 1,500m, where Matthew Centrowitz, the 2016 Olympic gold medallist, was eliminated in the semi-finals.
"We haven't been here that long, we got here on short notice," US 400m runner Michael Cherry said Thursday after a fourth-place finish in Thursday's final. Others point to the challenge US athletes face in attempting to peak for two major championships – the US Olympic trials and the Olympics – within weeks of each other.
