Dominica's Thea LaFond Clinches Olympic Gold

Thea LaFond of Dominica won the Olympic triple jump gold medal on Saturday night at the Stade de France, securing her Caribbean island's first-ever Olympic medal. The 30-year-old, who was already the indoor world champion, prevailed with a best jump of 15.02m, in the absence of the defending Olympic champion Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela, who suffered an Achilles tendon injury. Jamaica's Shanieka Ricketts took silver, and the USA's Jasmine Moore won bronze.
