Brianna Rollins of the United States won the 100 metres hurdles gold in a time of 12.48 seconds on Wednesday, leading compatriots Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin in the event's first ever Olympic podium sweep.

Ali was clearly in second place when she crossed the line to take silver in 12.59 but Castlin faced a nervous wait before it was confirmed that she had taken bronze in 12.61.

Britain's Cindy Ofili, also born in the United States, pushed Castlin right to the line but lost out on a medal by two hundredths of a second in 12.63.

The United States sweep was all the more remarkable given world record holder Kendra Harrison and 2008 Olympic champion Dawn Harper missed the Games after failing to make the cut at the U.S. trials.

Brianna Rollins, the 2013 world champion, has led an American sweep of the women's 100-meter hurdles on Wednesday night in Rio.

Rollins clocked 12.48 seconds and was followed by teammates Nia Ali (12.59) and Kristi Castlin (12.61), who edged Britain's Cindy Ofili (12.63) with a lean at the finish line.

Earlier in the evening, Elaine Thompson got another sprint double for Jamaica. She blasted out of the blocks and never gave Dutch sprinter Dafne Schippers a chance to catch her on the straightaway of the 200 meters.

After winning the 100 on Saturday, Thompson now has a double that compatriot Usain Bolt has specialized in. Thompson can make it triple gold during the relay races Thursday and Friday.

Thompson ended in a season's best 21.78 seconds, for an edge of .10 over Schippers. Tori Bowie of the United States took bronze with 22.15.
