Grant Fisher made history by winning a bronze medal in the men's 10,000 meters at the Paris Olympics. Fisher's time of 26:43.46 not only earned him the third place but also would have broken the previous Olympic record. This achievement marks the first time since 1968 that an American has medaled in this event, and Fisher becomes only the second American in the last 56 years to do so. This is also the first Team USA track and field medal of the Paris Olympics and the first American to medal in the men’s 10,000 since 2012. The race was won by Joshua Cheptegi with an Olympic record time of 26:43.14, while Aregawi took the silver medal.
