Tampa has a lot to cele- brate from the Tokyo Olympics. Hillsborough High’s Erriyon Knighton, the youngest member of the U.S. men’s track team at 17, won his semi-final before placing fourth with a time of
19.93 in the 200m final. Knighton, the youngest male athlete to represent the United States in track at the Olympics since 1964, had broken Usain Bolt’s under-18 youth record ear- lier in the summer. He came in behind gold medal winner Andre de Grasse of Canada. US runners
Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles took silver and bronze medals.
Gabby Thomas, whose aunt and uncle are local cou- ple, Jeffrey and Yolanda Amos, competed against the fastest women alive in the women's 200m final and won a bronze medal with a time of 21.87 seconds.

While Rihanna is known for her number one hits like “Work,” “Umbrella” and “We Found Love,” and starring in
