For the first time since 2008 in Beijing, a full Summer Olympic day of competition took place without the US winning a single Gold medal. Prior to Monday, the US had taken at least one Gold for each of the past 29 Summer Olympic days.
Allyson Felix came the closest. The American sprinter fell just short of Gold in the 400m by, ironically, not falling. Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas dove head first to the finish line and edged out Felix by .07 seconds with a winning time of 49.44 seconds.
