Gabby Thomas dominated the women's 200m final to win her first-ever Olympic gold medal on Tuesday. 

The American was the favourite going into the race following the withdrawal of Jamaica's Shericka Jackson and stormed across the finish line in 21.83 seconds.

Julien Alfred, who claimed Saint Lucia's first-ever Olympic medal by winning the 100m sprint on Saturday, made up ground in the last few metres to take second in 22.08 seconds and add a silver medal to her collection.

Meanwhile, there was a three-way photo finish for third, with bronze eventually going to Thomas' compatriot Brittany Brown, who edged across the line in 22.20 seconds.

Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita finished just short of a place on the podium, with just three-hundredths of a second separating them and Brown.
