In a thrilling semifinal, Team USA overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat Serbia 95-91, thanks to an unstoppable performance from Steph Curry, who dropped 36 points, including 9-of-14 from beyond the arc. LeBron James recorded a triple-double, while Joel Embiid’s 19-point second-half surge proved crucial. Despite Nikola Jokic’s 17 points and 11 assists, foul trouble kept him sidelined during key moments, allowing Team USA to rally and secure a spot in the final against France.
The U.S. women's volleyball team edged past Brazil in a thrilling five-set semifinal, winning 3-2 and advancing to the gold medal match. The match was a back-and-forth battle, but the Americans pulled through, winning the first, third, and fifth sets. With this victory, the U.S. is now set to defend their 2021 Olympic title and continue its streak of medaling in the last four Olympics.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone continued her dominance by breaking her own world record in the 400m hurdles with a time of 50.37 seconds, clinching her second Olympic gold. McLaughlin-Levrone’s record-breaking run marked the sixth time she’s set a new world record, solidifying her legacy as one of track’s greatest.
Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux dominated Wednesday with a record-breaking front nine, and despite cooling off on the back nine, Metraux holds a one-shot lead at Le Golf National. Defending gold medalist Nelly Korda charged up the leaderboard but stumbled with a disastrous quadruple bogey on the 16th.
