Olympic 2016 Results: Tracking Monday's Medal Count for Each Country

Athletes made more history at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Monday.

Team USA's Emma Coburn (bronze) won her nation's first medal ever in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase. And Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland broke the world record on her way to gold in the hammer throw. 

This is coming off a night in which Jamaica's Usain Bolt became the first man to win the 100-meter dash in three straight Olympics and South Africa's Wayde van Niekerk broke a world record in the 400 that had stood since 1999.

There's still plenty more to come, as the Games will hand out even more hardware. To stay up to speed with all the action throughout the day, see the live-updating medal count below.

History in the Steeplechase

In addition to winning USA's first medal in this event, Coburn was able to break her own American record in front of friends and family, per espnW:

With just over two laps to go, Coburn found herself in something of a no-woman's land. She was ahead of the pack but comfortably behind the top three.

When NBC's Lewis Johnson asked her after the race about her decision at that point, Coburn said she just tried to stay patient. Slowly but surely, she made up the gap and secured the bronze. And for a brief moment, it even looked like she might get silver.

I’m a little bummed I didn’t have a little more in the last lap to get second, but third in the world is really incredible," Coburn told Johnson (via NBCOlympics.com's Seth Rubinroit). "I’m really happy."

Wlodarczyk Dominates

The final for the women's hammer throw wasn't even close. As CNN Sport tweeted, Wlodarczyk crushed the competition by more than five meters:

This gold is a continuation of a dominant streak that has lasted for two years. She hasn't lost in 28 meets, a streak that dates back to 2014, per Rubinroit.

Over that stretch, she's secured a number of titles, per European Athletics:

Electricity on the Track

Lightning struck again, as Bolt won his third straight Olympic gold in the men's 100-meter dash. He's the first man in history to pull off that feat.

Bolt will now look to go a perfect 9-of-9 in Olympic finals, as he has the 200-meter dash and the 4x100-meter relay still to come this week.

In the 400, Van Niekerk broke the record of American track legend Michael Johnson, who happened to call the race for the BBC. "Oh my God. From Lane 8, a world record," said Johnson, per Mail Online's Alex Bywater. "He took it out so quick and I've never seen anything like that from 200 to 400."
