In a 4 person race, medals are awarded to the fastest 3 sprinters. The first-place sprinter receives a gold medal, the second-place sprinter receives a silver medal, and the third-place sprinter receives a bronze medal. In the event of a tie, the tied sprinters receive the same color medal. (For example, if there is a two-way tie for first-place, the top two sprinters receive gold medals, the next-fastest sprinter receives a silver medal, and no bronze medal is awarded).
