USWNT looking for fresh start in Paris with young roster, new coach
With the youngest team since the 2008 Olympics and a new coach, the U.S. women’s national team is looking to return to their winning ways.
SAINT-DENIS, France − In a stunning win, Team USA’s Cole Hocker not only took the gold medal Tuesday in the men’s 1500-meter race at the Stade de France venue of the Paris Olympics, but broke the Olympic record in doing so.
Josh Kerr of Britain won silver and American Yared Nuguse took the bronze.
Hocker came from behind with a blistering pace over the final stretch to record a 3:27.65, which broke the Olympic record of 3:28.32 previously set at the Tokyo Games in 2021 by Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
