Italian stallions

Italy capped the most amazing week in their athletics history today by winning a shock gold in the men’s sprint relay, as Jamaica’s women underlined their Tokyo dominance by romping home in theirs. On a night when American Allyson Felix also became the most decorated track and field athlete in Olympic history and Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan’s dream of an unprecedented Games treble disappeared, Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei wiped away his 10,000m disappointment with an impressive 5,000m win. Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon relegated Hassan to bronze in retaining her 1,500m title while Shaunae Miller-Uibo was another repeat winner in the women’s 400m. Italy, who had a night to remember when they lifted the individual 100m and men’s high jump on Sunday, had already enjoyed a good start to the day when Antonella Palmisano won the women’s 20km walk, her training partner Massimo Stano won the men’s event on Thursday. reuters
