Grant Fisher captures historic 10,000m bronze; Regan Smith wins 200m back silver

The United States won six medals today — three bronze and three silver.

China (13) remains at the top of gold medal rankings, while France (11) and Australia (11) have passed the U.S. (9) since yesterday.

The U.S. still has the highest total medals won in Paris, with 43. As track and field events just began today, the U.S. will have ample opportunity to secure more gold moving forward.

A scuffle erupted following France's 1-0 win over Argentina in their men's soccer quarterfinal game Friday.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused the incident, but tensions were high entering the game due to recent racist chants Argentine players sang about French players after winning the Copa America.

Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring with a header early in the first half. Michael Olise thought he sealed the deal with France's second late in the game, but VAR disallowed it due to a foul in the buildup.

France will play Egypt next, with Morocco and Spain on the other side of the bracket.

It was a battle of the two last-place teams in men's 3x3 basketball, with Team USA triumphing over China 21-17.

The U.S. moved to 2-4 with one final pool game Saturday versus the Netherlands.

The U.S. will need a win to potentially stay in contention for the knockout rounds after a dismal start.

Team USA men's volleyball beat Japan in pool play Friday to clinch first place.

The U.S. won in three sets to one, claiming the first two before Japan forced a fourth.

The last time the U.S. claimed gold was in 2008. It is tied with Brazil and the Soviet Union with the most golds all time at three.

America's beach volleyball dynamic duo Sara Hughes and Kelly Cheng defeated Germany's Svenja Mueller and Cinja Tillman 2-0 to take first place in pool C, securing their spot in the round of 16.

Hughes and Cheng have qualified with six points in pool C, and Germany's Mueller and Tillman are the other group to qualify out of pool C, with five points.

Heading into the match, both teams were 2-0 and tied at the top of the pool with four points.

Hughes and Cheng have gone into the 2024 Olympics as one of the favorites, having won the 2023 Beach Volleyball World Championships.

The Egypt men's soccer team Friday eliminated Paraguay 1-1 (5-4 penalties) in their quarterfinal matchup.

Egypt has 12 Olympic appearances under its belt, but it only advanced past the quarterfinals once. That came in 1928 when it finished fourth, but it can top that placement in Paris.

Next up is a matchup against France or Argentina in the semifinals, with Morocco and Spain on the other side of the bracket.

Team USA's Grant Fisher won the bronze medal in the men's 10,000m final with a time of 26:43.46, trailing only Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei, who set an Olympic record with a time of 26:43.14, and Ethiopia's Berihu Aregawi, who took home silver with a time of 26:43.44.

Fisher became the second American in 56 years to win a medal in the men's 10,000m final. American Galen Rupp won silver in 2012.

The only time an American has won gold in the event is when Billy Mills finished first at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Cheptegei, who also holds the world record in the event with a time of 26:11.00, which he set in 2020, trailed behind the top three most of the race before picking up the pace late. Cheptegei had previously won silver in the event in Tokyo, as well as a gold medal in the men's 5000m in Tokyo.

Saya Sakakibara is a first-time Olympic medalist.

Sakakibara, 24, dominated the women's BMX racing final Friday, winning gold with a time of 34.231.

Team USA's Alise Willoughby finished sixth out of eight at 36.171.

U.S. swimmer Regan Smith smiles with her silver medal during the women's 200m backstroke medal ceremony. Smith also won silver in the women's 100m backstroke and women's 200m butterfly events at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Three French cyclists were at the gates in the men's BMX racing final Friday.

All three medaled.

Joris Daudet claimed gold at 31.422, Sylvian Andre won silver and Romain Mathieu took home bronze.

Team USA's Cameron Woods placed fifth out of eight with a 32.446 time.

Novak Djokovic is going for gold.

The Serbian defeated Italy's Lorenzo Musetti on Friday to secure a spot in the men's gold medal final. He will face Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday for all the marbles.

The only other medal Djokovic has to his name is bronze, which he won in Beijing 2008.

Leon Marchand has gone 4-for-4.

The rising French swimmer won gold in the 200m individual medley Friday, narrowly setting the world record by 0.06 seconds but making Olympic history at 1:54.06.

Michael Phelps, who was in attendance, set the previous mark at 1:54.23 at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Great Britain's Duncan Scott won silver while Tokyo gold medalist Wang Shun claimed bronze.

Australia's Cameron McEvoy won the race in 21.25 seconds, followed by Great Britain's Ben Proud (21.30) and France's Florent Manaudou (21.56).

The U.S. women's water polo team is ready for the knockout stage.

On Friday, the three-time defending gold medalists defeated host France 17-5 in their Group B matchup.

Maddie Musselman had four goals to lead Team USA; Jenna Flynn had three and Rachel Fattal and Ryann Neushul had two each. U.S. goalkeeper Ashleigh Johnson saved 9 of 14 shots.

The U.S., which had already clinched its spot in the knockout stage, finishes at 3-1 in group play. Their only loss was to Spain, which currently leads Group B with a 3-0 record.

Next up for the U.S. is a quarterfinal matchup, though its opponent is still to be determined.

Team USA on Friday set a world record in the mixed 4x400m relay.

Vernon Norwood, Shamier Little, Bryce Deadmon and Kaylyn Brown crossed the line in 3:07.41, taking over a second off the previous best.

British golfer Tommy Fleetwood is on familiar turf and chasing another gold trophy at Le Golf National, this one an Olympic medal instead of that 17-inch Ryder Cup trophy.

The medal chase in men's golf began to take shape Friday with Fleetwood sharing the 36-hole lead with defending Olympic champion Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama, giving another sellout crowd plenty of star power at the top.

Schauffele posted a 5-under 66, tying the 36-hole Olympic record he set at the Tokyo Games. Fleetwood finished with a 64, while Matsuyama went from rough to water for a double bogey on the 18th and a 68.

They were at 11-under 131, two ahead of Jon Rahm (66).

Three-time gold medalist Vincent Hancock leads in men's skeet shooting after Day 1 of qualification. He's followed closely by his student, Connor Prince.

Prince was right behind him in the standings, tied with three others for second with 74 points each.

Both Hancock and Prince are from North Texas. Hancock has competed in four previous Olympics (2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020), winning three gold medals. Paris is the first Olympics for Prince, who trained with Hancock in Fort Worth.

Day 2 qualification begins at 2 a.m. CT on Saturday. Hancock will shoot fourth in Group 2, while Prince will shoot last in Group 5.

Canyon Barry carried the U.S. men's 3x3 basketball team into the win column.

After losing its first four games at the Paris Olympics, a shorthanded Team USA defeated France 21-19 on Friday behind 15 points from Barry.

With the U.S. playing without former college basketball star Jimmer Fredette, who suffered a leg injury earlier in the week, Barry scored the final seven points for the team, hitting a fall-away for the game-winner. 

The U.S. erased an 11-6 deficit with a 5-0 run that was capped by a Barry 2-pointer. France then responded with a 5-1 run to take a 16-12 lead. Dylan Travis and Barry then each hit 2-pointers to pull the U.S. even at 16-16 with 1:55 left.

The U.S., which had been the only winless team remaining in the eight-team field, will next play China on Friday at 4:35 p.m. ET.

At halftime of Friday's women's water polo group stage game, the U.S. is in control against France.

Team USA is leading 7-3 after a 4-2 scoring edge in the second quarter.

Six different Americans scored in the first half, led by Maddie Musselman with two goals.

The United States successfully defended its Tokyo team jumping silver medal in Paris, with runs from Laura Kraut, McLain Ward and Karl Cook. This is the United States' first equestrian medal in Paris.

The U.S. women's water polo team is off to a strong start.

Through three matches, the squad is 2-1. And after the first quarter of their third game, Team USA leads host France 3-1.

The Americans have already clinched a spot in the knockout bracket, but seeding will be critical as they chase a fourth consecutive gold medal.

Make that three wins in a row for the U.S. women's 3x3 basketball team.

After losing its first three games at the Paris Olympics, the defending champs pulled back to .500 with a thrilling 18-17 win over Canada on Friday. Rhyne Howard hit a two-pointer in overtime to give the U.S. the walk-off win after Canada scored the opening bucket of overtime. The first team to score two points in overtime wins.

Hailey Van Lith hit the game-tying two-pointer with just over 20 seconds remaining in regulation to make it 16-16. Howard had a team-high seven points, Van Lith added five and Dearica Hamby and Cierra Burdick added three each.

The U.S. opened in Paris with losses to Germany, Azerbaijan and Australia. They snapped the losing streak with a win over Spain on Thursday and followed that up with a 14-13 win over France earlier on Friday.

The badminton player won a gold medal in mixed doubles with her teammate Zheng Siwei when China defeated Korea 21-8, 21-11 in the final on Friday. After the medal ceremony, Huang's boyfriend Li Yuchen, who also plays on China's badminton team, presented her with a bouquet of flowers. He then dropped to one knee and proposed. She said yes!

So, the two will go from Olympic training to wedding planning.

Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek is officially an Olympic medalist.

The 23-year-old star defeated Slokakia’s Karolina Schmiedlova on Friday 6-2, 6-1 to earn a bronze medal in women’s singles. 

While the dominant world No. 1 Swiatek had high hopes for a gold medal, the bronze honor still marks Poland’s first-ever tennis medal.

Caroline Marks is the lone American still standing in the surfing women's competition, after defending gold medalist Carissa Moore dropped on her final run and failed to advance.

Brady Ellison and Casey Kaufhold beat India, 6-2, to win the bronze medal in the mixed team archery competition.

Kaufhold, who clinched the victory by shooting a nine on her final shot, is the first American woman to win a medal in archery since 1998.

India's Ankita Bhakat dug a hole for her team in the first two sets. She scored just a seven on the opening shot of each of the first two sets, and the Americans won both sets.

But the U.S. opened the door with a weak third set, when Kaufhold scored a seven and an eight on her two shots. India took the set by four points.

That just set up the decisive final set, when Ellison scored a 10 and nine, and Kaufhold hit two nines.

That should do it.

Moments after pulling ahead 2-0, Morocco scored another goal in the 70th minute to take a decisive 3-0 lead.

Achraf Hakimi, the Moroccan captain and Paris Saint-Germain star, scored the goal.

The U.S. men's soccer team is facing elimination.

Morocco pulled ahead 2-0 in the 63rd minute of Friday's quarterfinal on a goal by Ilias Akhomach, coming off a feed from Abde Ezzalouli.

Team USA now needs two goals just to force extra time.

The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of former NBA player Chase Budinger and Miles Evans now have to do some scoreboard watching.  

The duo lost their final pool-play match on Friday in straight sets to Spain's Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira 21-18, 21-11, failing to secure a second-place finish in Pool F that guaranteed a spot in the Round of 16.

Budinger and Evans won their opener in Paris, making Budinger the first athlete to compete in Olympic basketball and volleyball. They dropped their next match and finish at 1-2. The results of other matches on Friday will now determine if Budinger and Evans advance. The top two teams from each pool and the two best third-ranked teams qualify for the Round of 16.

Brady Ellison and Casey Kaufhold fell apart on the final set of the semifinals of the mixed archery competition against Germany, getting eights on their first two shots.

In their first 12 shots of the tournament, Ellison and Kaufhold got just one eight total -- their other 11 shots scored nine or 10. But after the teams entered the final set tied, the Germans opened the set with two 10s, and the Americans couldn't match.

Germany's Michelle Kroppen and Florian Unruh won the final set to win the match, 5-3.

Kaufhold and Ellison will face India for the bronze medal. Germany faces Korea for the gold.

Team USA has 45 minutes to flip the script.

At halftime, the U.S. trails Morocco 1-0 in their men's soccer quarterfinal match.

Soufiane Rahimi scored the lone goal for Morocco on a penalty kick in the 29th minute. The U.S. had just one shot in the first half (none on target) to Morocco's eight (four on target). The Americans held possession for just 34% of the half compared to 66% for Morocco.

It's a silver-medal three-peat for the U.S. equestrian team. McLain Ward, Karl Cook and Laura Kraut combined to give the U.S. a third straight silver medal in the jumping team final on Friday. 

Ward and Ilex closed for the U.S. with a clear round in a time of 76.57 seconds to guarantee a spot on the podium and put the team in contention for gold.

After Ward's clear round, France's Julien Epaillard and his horse Dubai Du Cedre had a rail down in the final to guarantee the U.S. of at least silver. Great Britain's Scott Brash and his horse Jefferson then closed the event with a time of 79.54 and one penalty point to secure gold. Great Britain finished with a team time of 237.47 with two total penalties, the U.S. had a time of 229.90 with four penalties and France took bronze with a time of 238.12 and seven penalties.      

Cook and Caracole de la Roque -- who just prior to Thursday's qualifier replaced top-ranked American rider Kent Farrington after his mare, Greya, experienced “allergy related” discomfort -- again delivered for Team USA. He had a clear round and clocked in with the fastest time of the day to that point at 75.88 seconds. Kraut and her horse Baloutine led off for the United States with a time of 77.45 seconds, accruing four penalty points on jump faults.

The United States, which last won gold-medal in 2008, has won more team medals in show jumping than any other nation. Ward, in his sixth Olympics, captured a third-consecutive medal. He won in Tokyo with Kraut and Jessica Springsteen, the daughter of legendary musician Bruce Springsteen.

American tennis players Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul were ousted in the semifinals of men’s doubles on Friday.

The duo fell to Australia’s Matthew Ebden and John Peers 7-5, 6-2.

Fritz and Paul still have a chance to win bronze when they take on Czech’s Tomas Machac-Adam Pavlasek next.  

The American tandem of Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek will play for gold on Saturday when they face Ebden and Peers in the men's doubles championship.

Team USA's quest to reach the semifinals in men's soccer is off to a tough start.

Morocco pulled ahead 1-0 in the 29th minute, with Soufiane Rahimi scoring on a penalty kick.

Nathan Harriel commited the foul for the U.S., an infraction inside the box that was confirmed with VAR.

To get a sense of the real race Afghanistan’s lone woman at the Olympic track meet is running, one only needed to look at the back of her bib.

On it, in handwritten script, were the words, spelled like this: “Eduction” and “Our Rights.” Women and girls in Afghanistan have suffered immensely since Kimia Yousofi’s home country was taken over by the Taliban in August 2021. Yousofi says she feels a responsibility to speak on behalf of Afghan girls because they can't speak for themselves.

Karl Cook and his horse Caracole de la Roque have stepped up once again for the United States.

In Friday's equestrian team jumping final, the pair combined for a clear round and clocked in with the fastest time of the day to that point at 75.88 seconds.

Just prior to Thursday's qualifier, Cook and Caracole de la Roque replaced top-ranked American rider Kent Farrington after his mare, Greya, experienced “allergy related” discomfort. Cook and Caracole had one of only 13 clear rounds of the 57 horse and rider combinations that competed in the qualifier.

The U.S. enters the third and final round of Friday's final in third behind Great Britain and France. Laura Kraut and her horse Baloutine opened for the U.S. with a time of 77.45 seconds and four penalty points. McLain Ward and Ilex will look to help the team secure a spot on the podium.

Chase Budinger and Miles Evans are hoping to secure knockout qualification Friday in men's beach volleyball.

They opened with a 2-0 sweep over French duo Youssef Krou and Arnaud Gauthier-Rat, but got swept themselves against the Dutch pairing of Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot.

Next up in Pool F is the Spanish team of Pablo Herrera Allepuz and Adrian Gavira. Budinger and Evans currently have the advantage with superior set ratio (1.0 to 0.67), but need a win to solidify their knockout berth.

The U.S. men's national team will face off against Morocco in the quarterfinals on Friday at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT as it seeks its best Olympics finish since managing fourth place in 2000.

Morocco is led by Paris Saint-Germain star right-back Achraf Hakimi, while 28-year-old Soufiane Rahimi leads the men's tournament with four goals in three games.

It's a matchup that could teeter either way. The U.S. will need to be disciplined defensively, and a win would see them meet either Spain or Japan in the semifinals.

Watch the game beginning 9 a.m. ET, 6 a.m. PT.

Bryony Page of Great Britain won gold in a surprising women's trampoline final.

She was fifth in qualifying (55.620) before stepping her game up in the final (56.480).

Belarus' Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya (competing as an Individual Neutral Athlete) and Canada's Sophiane Methot rounded out the podium with silver and bronze, respectively.

The Chinese duo of Xueying Zhu (first in qualifying) and Yicheng Hu (third in qualifying) shockingly missed the podium. Hu was the final gymnast to performance, and she bounced after doing only two skills in her routine. This marks the first time since 2000 (the first trampoline event) that China did not earn a medal in the women's competition.

After winning gold, Page was overcome with emotion -- it's the first trampoline gold medal ever for Great Britain. She won silver in the event in 2016 and bronze in 2020 before finally earning that elusive gold on Friday.

Team USA has added another medal.

The men's sailing duo of Ian Barrows (helm) and Hans Henken (crew) finished fourth-place in the skiff medal race, which gave them enough net points to secure the bronze.

Spain won the gold and New Zealand won silver.

Ireland was in second entering the medal race, while New Zealand was third and the U.S. was fourth. But the Irish finished ninth in the medal race, which dropped them down to fourth in the overall results — three net points behind the U.S. for the bronze.

The U.S. women's 3x3 basketball team has a little life left in it.

Dearica Hamby hit a layup with less than two seconds remaining to give the U.S. a crucial 14-13 win over France in pool play. The win lifts the United States to 2-3 in pool play, and moves them up to sixth place in the pool standings. The top six teams will advance to the elimination round, and three pool play games remain.

The game-winning shot was necessary after France's Marie Eve Paget hit a tying two-pointer (the equivalent of a 3-pointer in the NBA) with 18 seconds left.

Hamby, Cierrra Burdick and Hailey van Lith all finished with four points for the Americans. Rhyne Howard added two points.

The U.S. faces Canada in the next pool play game at 12 p.m. ET.

Vanderbilt's discus thrower and Olympian Veronica Fraley lamented on social media she needed help with rent.

Rapper Flavor Flav and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian decided to help. Soon after Fraley posted on the social media platform X that she was in need of financial assistance, Flav, founding member of the hip-hop group Public Enemy and the big fan of USA Water Polo, responded that he has her covered.

Then Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis star Serena Williams, wrote he has her covered as well. He posted a picture showing he wired her $7,760. “Now go be great,” Ohanian wrote to Fraley, as Flavor Flav noted that the athlete’s rent is now "paid off for the year.”

Douglass, the defending bronze medalist in the 200m IM, placed fifth with a time of 2:10.70. The 22-year-old is fresh off winning her first Olympic gold medal Thursday with a victory in the women's 200m breaststroke. She also won a silver medal earlier this week as part of the women's 4x100 freestyle relay.

Canada's Summer McIntosh won the heat in 2:09.90.

Netherlands won the gold medal in Friday's women's rowing pair final in a dominant performance.

The Dutch duo of Ymkje Clevering and Veronique Meester was over four seconds ahead of the next closest competitor. Romania claimed the silver and Australia took the bronze.

Team USA just missed out on the podium, finishing 1.77 seconds behind Australia in fourth.

Croatia passed Great Britain in the final 100 meters of Friday's men's rowing pair final to steal the gold medal.

The British led throughout most of the 2,000-meter event before Croatian brothers Martin and Valent Sinkovic turned up their speed. Great Britain held on for the silver medal and Switzerland took home bronze.

Team USA finished fourth in Final B earlier today, which put the Americans at 10th overall in the field.

Daniel Haugh's Olympic journey has come to an end after the American had three no throws in the hammer throw.

This leaves Rudy Winkler of Washington, D.C., as the only American in contention for the event. Winkler is set to compete in Group B of qualifications.

The last time Caeleb Dressel competed in the 100m butterfly at the Olympics, he set a world record.

He didn't quite rewrite the history books in Friday's qualifying heat, but the star U.S. swimmer moved one step closer to another medal by advancing to the event's semifinal after placing sixth with a time of 50.83 seconds. At the Tokyo Olympics, Dressel set the record with a time of 49.45 seconds. Hungary's Kristof Milak, who took silver in Tokyo in 49.68, won the heat in 50.19 seconds.

The semifinal is set for Friday at 3:05 p.m. ET. The final is Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET.

The 100m butterfly is one of the two individual races Dressel, an eight-time gold-medal winner, is competing in at the Paris Games. He will also defend his gold medal in the 50m freestyle.

The American duo of Billy Bender and Oliver Bub officially placed 10th in the men's rowing pair final.

Team USA finished fourth in Final B, which was a race for positions seven through 12 in the overall standings. New Zealand won the race to place seventh.

Final A of the men's rowing pair final, where medals will be awarded, is set for 5:30 a.m. ET/2:30 a.m. PT on Friday.

Defending Olympic champion Damian Warner of Canada is leading the field of decathletes, taking 1035 points into the long jump.

Americans Zachery Ziemek and Harrison Williams have 952 and 947 points, ranking seventh and eighth respectively.

Sagen Maddalena is an Olympic silver medalist. Maddalena placed second in the women's 50m rifle three positions competition.

Chiara Leone of Switzerland is taking home the gold and Zhang Qiongyue of China will take the bronze.

Harrison Williams won his heat in a photo finish. The American finished with a 10.62 season best.

The other American in Heat 2, Heath Baldwin, came in seventh with a time of 10.91.

The second round of the men's individual stroke play has begun at Le Golf National.

Hideki Matsuyama of Japan is the current leader after shooting an eight under in yesterday's play. Xander Schauffele of the USA, the defending gold medalist, is two behind.

Jess Thoennes and Azja Czajkowski are seeking their first Olympic medals in the women's coxless pair Friday.

Thoenes, 28, made her Olympic debut in Tokyo and was part of the women's eight crew that finished fourth. Czajkowski, 24, is a first-time Olympian.
