TOKYO—Canada’s Andre De Grasse added gold to a groaning collection of minor medals with victory in the 200 metres, Kenya went one-two in the men’s 800m and Peruth Chemutai made history for Uganda on another scintillating night of Olympic athletics on Wednesday.
That followed another huge 400m hurdles world record in the morning when Sydney McLaughlin saw off fellow American Dalilah Muhammad as the super-fast track and new shoe technology continue to make a mockery of historical comparisons.
