The highlight of Monday night's action on the track was Warholm's successful defence of his 400 hurdles title. He did not manage to break the world record of 46.78 but still enjoyed a dominant win.
Norway's biggest track star was pumped up on the track ahead of the race and went on to produce a powerful performance to hold off both Benjamin and Samba.
Warholm offered his thoughts after his win, per the Olympic Channel:
Ethiopia enjoyed a one-two in the final of the men's 5,000. An exciting finish saw Edris start his kick perfectly to pass Barega down the back straight and clinch the gold:
Edris had been in fifth place at the bell but produced a stunning final lap to successfully defend his title, while Canada's Ahmed completed the podium by sneaking across for the bronze medal. Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen had hit the front at the start of the final lap, but the 19-year-old was caught on the final bend and ended up in fifth place.
There was another dramatic finish in the final of the women's 800. The United States' Ajee Wilson led coming into the final 100 but could not prevent Nakaayi powering past to take victory.
A strong finish from Rogers saw the American snatch silver from Wilson, who had to settle for the bronze.
