It was Argentina footballer Lionel Messi’s second individual title after sharing that honor with Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton in 2020.

Tokyo Olympics, which gets underway on July 23, will be the first time that nine-time Olympic medal-winning 400m runner Allyson Felix will be competing at the Games as a mother.

Fraser-Pryce shaved 0.01 seconds off Carmelita Jeter’s 10.64 in 2009 to climb behind top placed Griffith-Joyner on the all-time list.
It was revealed that at least 120 of the approximately 11,000 athletes competing in Rio have served doping suspensions.
Tori Bowie of the United States took silver with 10.83sec while Fraser-Pryce claimed bronze in 10.86.
