Jasmine Camacho-Quinn sped to the women's 100 hurdles title in Tokyo and became the second Puerto Rican to ever win gold medal.
The 24-year-old clocked a time of 12.37 seconds at Tokyo's Olympic Stadium, followed home by the USA's Kendra Harrison.
In a tight finish for the silver medal, the world No. 2 crossed the line in 12.52, just 0.03 ahead of Jamaica's Megan Tapper, who took home the bronze.
Camacho-Quinn did not improve on the Olympic record of 12.26 she set in the semi-finals, but she did win the first athletics gold in Puerto Rico's history and the country's second-ever medal. Tennis player Monica Puig won Puerto Rico's first gold medal in 2016.

Greek long jumper Miltiadis Tentoglou stunned Cuba's Juan Miguel Echevarria to win gold in the men's long jump final held in the Olympic stadium.
Tentoglou was switching ranks in the first few rounds and even missed a few attempts, but it was in round six where he leaped his best at 8.41m enough to take down the Cuban star.
This gave Tentoglou an equal score to the Cuban but due to a countback, his second best jump of 8.15m eclipsed Echevarria's 8.09m, which resulted in him taking top podium.
The Cuban, who held the lead earlier on, had to settle for silver.
