10h agoA 19-year-old Trenton native has won the gold medal in the 800
meters at the Tokyo Olympics.
Athing Mu is the first U.S. woman to win
the gold in the 800 since 1968. It’s also her first Olympics.
Mu was never seriously
challenged down the home straight as she strode away to win in 1 minute, 55.21
seconds.
Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson won the silver medal in 1:55.88 and Raevyn
Rogers came from nowhere to clinch the bronze on the finish line and give the
Americans a double celebration at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.
Mu went to Trenton Central High School.
