Olympics: Italy and Jamaica take sprint relay golds at Tokyo 2020

Canada win women’s football gold, while Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon beats Sifan Hassan retaining the women’s 1,500 metres title.

Italy capped a historic week on Friday by winning a shock gold in the men’s sprint relay, while Canada won their first gold medal in women’s football after previously taking the bronze in 2012 and 2016. On Friday night, 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. Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon relegated Hassan to bronze in retaining her 1,500 metres title, while Shaunae Miller-Uibo was another repeat winner in the women’s 400 metres.
