Lyles has a chance at making history if he wins the 200-meter final on Thursday, which would make him the first American to win the Olympic sprint double in 40 years. There’s a high likelihood considering his performance, which saw the 27 year-old athlete take second place at the semifinal this week. Lyles ran at 20.08 seconds, coming in right behind Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo. Lyles enters today’s final with the third best time, right behind fellow American Kenny Bednarek (20.00).

Meanwhile, on the women’s side, Sha’Carri Richardson entered this year’s Games as the fastest woman in the world after achieving a record-breaking 10.71-second sprint at the U.S trials in June. While she won silver in Saturday’s 100-meter final, placing second to St. Lucia’s Julien Alfred, she still has time to take home gold in the women’s 4 x 100-meter relay.

In total, there will be a total of 48 track and field events running from Aug. 1 – 11, consisting of 23 each for men and women as well as two mixed events (the 4x400m mixed relay and the 35km mixed team race walk), mainly at Paris’s iconic Stade de France.
