Gabby Thomas left no doubt.

The American sprinter smoked the field to win the women’s 200-meter race on Tuesday for her first career Olympic gold medal.

The 27-year-old soared past her competitors around the turn and maintained a sizeable lead the rest of the way, finishing in 21.83 seconds.

Thomas bested Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred (22.08), who beat out American Sha’Carri Richardson for gold in the 100-meter on Saturday.

American Brittany Brown earned bronze at 22.20 for her first Olympic medal.
