In Olympic preliminary heats, the top three finishers in each of five races automatically qualify for the semifinals, as well as the next three fastest times, for a total of 18 semifinal qualifiers.
Benjamin, 27, won silver in the event at the Tokyo Games in 2021, along with a gold in the men’s 4×400 relay. He’s not competing in the 4×400 relay in Paris, however, so the 400 hurdles is his lone chance at a medal.
Also qualifying for the semifinals for Team USA was CJ Allen, who ran 48.64 to finish second in Heat 3.
The semifinals for the 400m hurdles will be held Wednesday night, and medal races are scheduled for Friday. — Chase Goodbread
PARIS — The United States team of Seth Rider, Taylor Spivey, Morgan Pearson and Taylor Knibb took silver in the mixed triathlon relay Monday at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The U.S. finished in a time of 1:25.40, 1/100th of a second behind gold-winning Germany and just ahead of bronze medal-winning Great Britain in a photo finish.
Great Britain, which won gold in 2020, led most of the race with Germany in second, but Knibb closed the gap for the U.S. with strong legs in swimming and biking in the final rotation before Germany’s Laura Lindemann pulled ahead in the final moments of the run for the win. — Dave Birkett
