- The U.S. men’s and women’s 4x100 meter teams will compete in the final. However, the U.S. women’s spot in the gold medal race didn’t come drama-free.

On the men’s side, it will be the last time viewers can see American Justin Gatlin race against Usain Bolt.
- Jamaica’s Bolt has said he will retire in 2017, and the men’s 4x100 m relay will be his final Olympic race. After winning gold three consecutive Olympics in the 100 m and 200 m, Bolt is eyeing his ninth gold medal.
- Shelby Houlihan of Portland, Ore. and Abbey D’Agostino were the only two Americans to make it to the women’s 5,000 m final. Houlihan, a first-time Olympian, is a medal contender after finishing fourth in the 5,000 m heats. D’Agostino made headlines Tuesday when she helped fallen rival Nikki Hamblin to her feet during the heats.
