The Most Beautiful Black Women Track Stars at 2024 Olympics

Start Slideshow

Gabrielle Thomas, of the United States, reacts after crossing the finish line first to win gold in the women’s 200 meters final at the 2024 Summer Olympics, in Saint-Denis, France, on Tuesday, Aug 06, 2024.

While Team USA walked away as the country with the most medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics—the real winners were all the amazingly beautiful and insanely talented Black women in the track and field sport.

From gold medalists like Gabrielle “Gabby” Thomas (pictured above, who has a master’s degree in epidemiology from Harvard by the way) to silver medalists like Anna Cockrell whose smile could launch a thousand ships—we felt it fitting to take a look at the lethal face cards that graced Paris and our TV screens over the last few weeks.

Not only is Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone help bring home the gold for the Women’s 4 x 400m Relay, but she brought home gold individually at the Women’s 400m Hurdles and broke her own world record. A baddie with speed? I stan!

Anna Cockrell

The only thing that could compete with the beauty of Team USA’s Anna Cockrell’s silver medal? Her pearly white and infectious smile. That’s the face men used to go to war over and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I knew Black folks lived all over the world, but I did not know there were some baddies like Rhasidat Adeleke in Ireland. I was not familiar with their game, I apologize.
