They're so FAST and adept. (I find relays very stressful to watch. The baton handoff!) I'm also happy to note here at the outset that none of the Team USA track and field kits made anyone look like they were designed by Budweiser, unlike the swimming attire. Everyone's track outfits were classic and reasonable, and even a little bit retro. Shout-out to the Nike ones for leaning into stripes for everyone. ## Allyson Felix ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12249251cq-1628453521-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Dave Shopland/Shutterstock (12249251cq) Allyson Felix (USA) - Women's 4 x 400m Relay Final Athletics, Olympic Stadium, Tokyo Olympic Games 2020, Japan - 07 Aug 2021 One of the best things about Olympic-level track and field is seeing how physically relaxed some of the athletes look, even when they're clearly going all out. Allyson Felix here looks like she's just breezily trotting around the block. (I'm sure it helps that the US team won this particular event by a large margin.) ## Allyson Felix ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12251414a-1628452306-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times/Shutterstock (12251414a) USA's Allyson Felix smiles after winning the bronze medal in the 400m race at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

(I also like how many hyphenated names they have in this threesome.) (I also appreciate that, as much as I enjoy Olympic Hugs, this particular group seemed VERY competitive in way that might not have been totally supportive of each other. I am always here for Athletic Beefs and Nemiseseses.) ## Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12249250ed-1628452281.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Dave Shopland/Shutterstock (12249250ed) Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake (GBR) - 4 x 100m Men's Relay Final Athletics, Olympic Stadium, Tokyo Olympic Games 2020, Japan - 06 Aug 2021 Team GB took the silver in the 4x100 men's relay but Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake takes first in my heart in the Arms Race.

Olympic Games 2020 Sport Athletics, Tokyo, Japan - 06 Aug 2021 The Italians took the gold in said relay, and there were hugs! I bet everyone was shocked and relieved that the US totally bungled our heats and didn't even make the final! Despite having the second best time in the world this year! I suspect the Former Track and Field Stars Group Text was AFLAME over this. Regardless: Good for Italy, which is having a fast year, and is always peopled with attractive folks. ## Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12251676d-1628453592-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by KIMIMASA MAYAMA/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock (12251676d) Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya win the Women's Marathon during the Athletics events of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Odori Park in Sapporo, Japan, 07 August 2021\.

They make it look so easy. I know it WASN'T, but it LOOKS like it, even in the heat and humidity. The joy in this photo is the greatest. ## Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya and Molly Seidel of USA ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12251601ay-1628453577-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eugene Hoshiko/AP/Shutterstock (12251601ay) Race winner Peres Jepchirchir, right, of Kenya, gestures to third placed Molly Seidel, right, of the United States following the women's marathon at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in Sapporo, Japan Tokyo Olympics Athletics, Sapporo, Japan - 07 Aug 2021 And cheers to American Molly Seidel, who took the bronze even though this is just her third marathon! (She didn't just get off the sofa and run a bunch of very fast marathons. Apparently, she used to run the 10k. [She wrote a very thoughtful piece for SI last year about her journey to the marathon](https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/%5F/page/Going-September252020/how-olympic-marathoner-molly-seidel-found-way-run-again?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); be aware that it discusses her issues with disordered eating.)

(I looked it up, and she's 6'4.) Hooray for Portugal and Spain for filling out the medal stand! Patricia Mamon's long-sleeved top, calf-warmer combo is very cool. Ana and Yulimar are training partners, so this must have been sweet for them. ## Christina Clemons ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12241299mk-1628453000-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jae C Hong/AP/Shutterstock (12241299mk) Christina Clemons, of United States, prepares to start in a semifinal of the women's 100-meter hurdles at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in Tokyo Olympics Athletics, Tokyo, Japan - 01 Aug 2021 [Christina Clemons took her Doritos earrings with her](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/christina-clemonss-doritos-earrings-are-iconic-06-2021/)!

Olympic Games 2020 Athletics, Tokyo, Japan - 01 Aug 2021 Speaking of triumph, this was amazing; these men tied at the end of the high jump, and had the choice to go to a jump-off, but decided to just share the gold medal. They're friends, and this was CLEARLY the best-case scenario for them. I love it. HUGS! (Wikie tells me of Gianmarco, "At major competitions, he is known for sporting a full beard during qualification and shaving half of it for the final." WHICH HALF?) ## Gianmarco Tamberi and Marcell Lamont Jacobs ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/08/shutterstock_editorial_12241336ln-1628453054-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by CHRISTIAN BRUNA/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock (12241336ln) Gold Medalists in Men'sHigh Jump Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy (R) and gold medalist in Men's 100m Marcell Lamont Jacobs of Italy (L) celebrate during the Athletics events of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, Japan, 01 August 2021\.
