Michelle Carter won the first gold medal for the U.S. in the women's shot put with an American-record effort of 20.63m on her very last throw! She's the first American woman to win Olympic gold, and the first American woman to medal in the event since 1960.
Later in the week, Ryan Crouser won the men's shot put and broke the Olympic record with a huge PB of 22.52m. He extended his family's Olympic legacy with the win--his father, uncle and cousin have all competed in the Games in various years.
Both throwers are University of Texas alumni--I think that's what they refer to as "Texas Fight."
