American runner Grant Fisher won the bronze medal in the men's 10,000-meter race at the Paris Olympics, marking the first U.S. medal in the event in 12 years and only the fourth in history. Fisher finished with a time of 26:43.46, narrowly missing silver by 0.02 seconds to Ethiopia’s Berihu Aregawi and gold to Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei, who set a new Olympic record with 26:43.14. This race was notable for its exceptional pace, with 13 runners surpassing the previous Olympic record. Fisher, who had a near-stumble mid-race, surged in the final lap to secure his podium finish. This accomplishment adds to Fisher's impressive career, which includes setting an American record in 2022 and finishing fifth at the Tokyo Olympics. Fisher will also compete in the 5,000-meter race later in the Games.
