With 6 Months Until the Olympics, Meet 6 US Athletes Poised to Win Gold in Tokyo

Sport: Track and field

Dalilah Muhammad owns the 400-meter hurdles world record twice over; she broke it once at the 2019 USA Track and FIeld National Championships and then again, later that year, at the world championships. She's also going into Tokyo as the defending Olympic champion but with major competition from fellow American Sydney McLaughlin, who has bested her in past Diamond League races. If both qualify for Tokyo (they're expected to), this showdown showdown and Muhammad's unflappable dominance on the world stage will be riveting.
