ASHTON EATON TEAM PERFORMANCE

MEN’S DECATHLON // GOLD Team USA’s three heptathletes produced the best top-
to-bottom point totals for U.S. athletes since the 1992
Games in Barcelona.
For the first time in OG history, all three U.S. women
qualified for the steeplechase final.
The 6-7-9 finish in the women’s marathon was the best ever
by a U.S. team. The 22 total “points” was the lowest score
by any nation at these Games.
Galen Rupp (3rd) and Jared Ward (6th) gave the U.S. men
their first pair of top-10 finishers in the marathon since 1976.
