Teenagers make 200 final in Olympic testosterone controversy

Two 18-year-old Namibian runners threw track and field’s contentious testosterone issue back into the Olympic spotlight Monday when they blazed into the women’s 200-meter final in Tokyo just weeks after being barred from the 400-meter race. One of them, Christine Mboma, broke the world under-20 record twice in the span of about eight hours at the Olympic Stadium on the way to the 200 final. Mboma finished second behind Elaine Thompson-Herah, the defending Olympic champion.
