PARIS, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- American sprinter Masai Russell continued her rapid ascent by winning gold in the women's 100m hurdles at the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
The 24-year-old clocked 12.33 seconds to finish just one hundredth of a second ahead of France's Cyrena Samba-Mayela, who took silver.
Puerto Rico's Jasmine Camacho-Quinn claimed bronze in 12.36.
It marked Russell's first medal at a major international competition. She competed in the event at the 2023 world championships but did not qualify for the final.
