Add another medal to the United States’ tally at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio.
Emma Coburn won bronze in the women’s 3000-meter steeplechase Monday, making her the first U.S. woman to ever medal in the event. The last time an American male medaled in steeplechase was 1984.
Coburn also set a new U.S. record — she held the previous one, too — with a time of 9:07.63.
Ruth Jebet of Bahrain won the gold with a time of 8:59.75, which was one second off the world record. Kenya’s Hyvin Jepkemoi won silver with a time of 9:07.12.
