Olympic 2021 Medal Count: Final Tally, Winners from Day 11 Early Events

The United States' medal haul at the Tokyo Olympics is starting to receive the track and field bump we expected to see during the second week of competition.

On Day 11 of the Games, the United States produced six track and field medals from five different events. The only discipline in which the Americans did not medal was the women's hammer throw.

Nineteen-year-old Athing Mu became the latest star to write her name in American Olympic lore on Tuesday morning. 

Mu became the first American woman to win the women's 800 meters since 1968. Mu breezed away from the field in the homestretch. Raevyn Rogers picked up a bronze for the U.S. behind the teenage phenom.

The Americans also picked up medals in the women's long jump, women's 200 meters, men's pole vault and men's 400-meter hurdles. 

The men's 400-meter hurdles produced the most stunning result of the Olympics yet. Norway's Karsten Warholm blew away the world record in the event. American Rai Benjamin set a personal best of his own  while winning a silver medal. 

As of Tuesday afternoon, the American medal count was at 73. The United States leads China by four in the overall medal table. 

The updated medal list can be found here on the Olympics' official website.

Mu Wins 1st U.S. Gold in Women's 800 Since 1968

Mu set an American record in the 800 meters on her way to winning a title that escaped the Americans for decades. 

The 19-year-old from New Jersey led for a majority of the race and broke away from the pack during the final 100 meters. 

Mu finished six-tenths of a second ahead of silver medalist Keely Hodgkinson of Great Britain, who is also 19. 

Rogers came in third in a time of 1:56.81 to boost the American total from the events inside Tokyo Olympic Stadium. 

Mu was a star at the collegiate level for Texas A&M. She won the women's 400 and was part of the 4x400 relay-winning team at the 2021 NCAA championships.

The gold-medal winner also had competed at a handful of meets on the international level, which led to her feeling calm during the race, as she told Yahoo's Shalise Manza Young. 

"I came in very relaxed; my mind was very chill. I wasn't nervous or anything; I was just ready to go, ready to do what I had to do to get on that medal stand," Mu said.

The medals earned by Mu and Rogers were the first for American women in the 800 since Kim Gallagher took bronze at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. 

Mu's gold was the second ever for the United States in the event. Prior to Tuesday, Madeline Manning's gold from the 1968 Mexico City Games was the only first-place finish in the women's 800 meters. 

Karsten Warholm Shatters 400m Hurdles World Record

Karsten Warholm wrote a new chapter of Olympic track and field history on Monday night. 

The Norwegian broke his own world record and became the first man to go under 46 seconds in the men's 400-meter hurdles. 

Warholm's initial reaction to his world-record time will go down as one of the most memorable images from the Tokyo Games. 

The 25-year-old said after the race that he never expected to reach under 46 seconds in the one-lap, 10-hurdle event, per Eddie Pells of the Associated Press.

"I never thought in my wildest imagination that this would be possible," Warholm said. 

The pace of the entire race was stunning, as Benjamin produced a silver-medal time of 46.17 that was more than a half-second better than Warholm's previous world record. 

In fact, third-place finisher Alison dos Santos also ran a time that was worthy of world-record contention in 46.72 seconds. 

In total, six of the eight participants in the 400-meter hurdles final produced either a world, continental or national record time in the event.
