The U.S. men's gymnastics team snapped a 16-year drought by winning a bronze medal, the U.S. picked up four medals in swimming, and men's skateboarding is bringing home a silver and bronze. NBC's Tom Llamas talked to some of the athletes about their achievements. Watch the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC and streaming on Peacock, July 26 - Aug 11.
Yuto Horigome of Japan won men's street skateboarding, with Americans Jagger Eaton and Nyjah Huston taking silver and bronze.The United States started Day 3 of competition with 12 medals — three gold, six silver and three bronze — and ended it with eight more.The gold medals are in fencing and swimming.
There was a moment in his routine when he became worried, he said, watching the routine back in the studio. “I was really just trying to build that last 50, and things kind of fell apart last 10 meters,” said King, who won gold in the event at the Rio Games in 2016 and bronze at the Tokyo Games in 2020.
Distance didn’t dampen any enthusiasm in California as Brody Malone and Asher Hong helped Team USA men win its first Olympic medal in 16 years. Murphy finished third behind Italy's Thomas Ceccon and China's Xu Jiayu with a time of 52.39 seconds. “I would go to a hotel,” a TikTok user commented. Gauff’s reply: “all the tennis girls moved to a hotel except me. so now just 5 girls two bathrooms.” She elaborated in another reply: “well it’s only 5 girls now so I have the room alone. roommates are very chill.”Today, Frederick “Flips” Richard, helped the U.S. break its medal drought as part of the bronze-winning men’s gymnastics squad in a sport he's spent most of his life practicing.
Go-to daily dish: chocolate chip pancakes for predawn breakfast and again for breakfast No. 2 after morning training.The family has three cats back in Toronto, one of them named Mikey in honor of all-time swimming great Michael Phelps. Peaty’s positive test comes less than a week after five players on the Australian women’s water polo team tested positive,
"Both of us were born and raised in Long Beach, California, and graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic High School," King wrote.American surfer John John Florence has been knocked out of the competition with a score of 9.07, falling to Australia's Jack Robinson, who scored 13.94. This was not close. The U.S. had a comical size advantage and exploited it the entire game. A'ja Wilson scored 24 points, Breanna Stewart had 22, and Brittney Griner, Sabrina Ionescu and Kelsey Plum each had 11.
The epic five-set thriller saw China get off to a quick 2-0 set advantage before Team USA's Avery Skinner and Kathryn Plummer helped pull USA back in the crucial third set.Susan Baek Medina earned the best score for an individual wave so far during the men's third round in Teahupo’o, Tahiti. He earned a 17.40 overall score, which crushed opposing surfer Kanoa Igarashi, who earned a total of 7.04 in today's heat.
Shoji posted a video to TikTok in June from a recent tournament in which he tried to return a particularly wicked serve. Gold Medalist Summer McIntosh of Team Canada, Silver Medalist Katie Grimes of Team United States and Bronze Medalist Emma Weyant of Team United States after the Women's 400m Individual Medley Final at Paris La Defense Arena.Still, this win and her silver medal finish on Saturday were major accomplishments for the young Olympian. McIntosh competed in the Tokyo Games at the age of 14 but fell just short of the podium, placing fourth in the 400m freestyle and 200m freestyle relay.
In foil and saber, there’s a “right of way” rule that doesn’t apply in epee. Whoever begins an attack first takes the right of way and only that fencer may score. If both players hit at the same time, it’s up to the referees to decide who initiated the move. Frankly, it’s impressive Japan has stayed this close. Their strategy of letting it fly from 3 is paying off. Japan is shooting 9-of-22 from deep, and has outscored the U.S. by 24 points from the arc. That’s the only reason this game is even relatively competitive right now.The 2024 Paris Olympics is already making waves for uncharacteristically slower times in men’s and women’s swimming meets and there may be a culprit: the water might be too shallow.
American Katie Grimes, who won silver in the women’s 400m Monday, told Yahoo Sports, “A lot of people have been saying they don’t like the feel of the pool. I honestly don’t feel any different in it. Sure, the times have been slower, but everybody’s in the same boat, so it doesn’t really matter.” "I mean, Simone enjoyed the sport, but I didn't think that we were gonna end at the Olympics, never did," Nellie Biles said."And not ... I mean end up with one Olympics, this is her third. So, this is incredible."China's Xu Jiayu took silver, and Florida native Ryan Murphy captured bronze for Team USA.Bronze Medalist Ryan Murphy of Team United States stands on the podium during the Swimming medal ceremony after the Men's 100m Backstroke Final in Nanterre, France.
The Florida native got silver in this same competition at the Tokyo Games, but has struggled on the world stage since. She earned bronze at the World Championships in 2022., performing five stellar routines. The highlight of his day was a high bar routine that would have clinched a silver medal at last year's world championships.The young team, made up almost entirely of first-time Olympians, is basking in the glory that comes with a bronze medal hanging around their necks.
He also shouted out the"phenomenal" crowd in the Bercy Arena who he said"were backing us the whole way" and"made it really easy to go out there and slam our sets."Paul Juda, who will compete in the individual all-around final later this week, talked about the team's strong start on the vault, their second of six rotations.
"I think about all the people behind me. I knew I had the whole U.S. behind me. I knew I had these five guys cheering me on. And I knew I wanted to do the best routine possible for them," Richard told NBC News."And when you feel that like deep in your heart, it happens, and you stick that land."Stephen Nedoroscik anchored his team on his famed single event, the pommel horse, earning a score that snagged the third place finish for the U.S.
This is a serious mismatch for Japan, which is getting crushed on the glass. The U.S. out rebounded its opponent 16 to seven in the first quarter, grabbing a whopping six offensive rebounds. The States’ frontcourt is massive, and it’s causing issues for Japan. A Canadian flag, flanked by two sets of Stars & Stripes, were raised here as"O Canada" played in honor of McIntosh, silver medalist Katie Grimes and bronze winner Emma Weyant following their 400 IM race.
To test that theory, NBC News’ took a dip and, while the water was cold, it seemed clean enough and clear enough to see your feet below.However, the rain that beset the opening ceremony has raised the pollution levels in the main river and forecasters are predicting a thunderstorm over Paris in the coming days, increasing the urgency to hold the triathlon.
Next up: Frederick Richard and Paul Juda will compete in the all-around final and Stephen Nedoroscik will try his hand in the pommel horse final. Watch Team USA’s Carissa Moore and John John Florence explain to Colin Jost why the Tahitian surf zone presents such a daunting challenge.

He's more than capable of clinching a historic medal for his team if all goes well.
The third rotation of six is underway for Team USA. Sometimes topping the leaderboard can lead to jitters, but not for Brody Malone.A strong start for the men's gymnastics team has the U.S. in first heading into the third rotation with a total score of 86.764. Deguchi fought against Korea’s Huh Mi-Mi, who will walk away with silver. Both finalists are first-time Olympians.
The president of Belarus’ Olympic committee, then and now, is Viktor Lukashenko, the son of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who has been widely criticized for his brutal crackdown on political opponents and is a close ally of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin. The Peacock broadcast displayed a countdown until Nedoroscik can compete: two hours and 30 minutes remain.After the Olympic trials in June, Nedoroscik knew he nailed his single event, and told reporters “I had a good feeling I made this team.” This year is Nedoroscik’s Olympic debut.
The vault is a Yurchenko double pike, and it bears her name because she was the first woman to successfully perform it at an international meet. After a devastating qualifying round that took him out of all individual finals, Brody Malone appears to be in better form today, scoring a 14.166 on rings. Now a rising junior at the University of Michigan, where he trains and competes, he’s on the precipice of fulfilling a dream shared by many young athletes.
For the first time since 2008, a member of the U.S. women's Olympic gymnastics team will not compete in the team final. According to the statement, Peaty began to feel unwell yesterday just before his 100m breaststroke event and his symptoms persisted following his silver-medal win at the race. He was only 0.02 seconds behind Italian Nicolò Martinenghi, tying with American Nic Fink.In today's men’s gymnastics team final, the U.S. could medal for the first time since 2008.
While Spain's win avenges the country after it didn't walk away with gold in Tokyo, it's not over for Team USA yet, which is going for a historic fourth consecutive gold medal. Former NBA journeyman Chase Budinger and beach volleyball partner Miles Evans made quick work of a French duo, winning their opening match in two sets, 21-14 and 21-11.The Americans were too tall, powerful and fast for the French duo of Youssef Krou and Arnaud Gauthier-Rat, who benefitted from a spirited home crowd at the makeshift volleyball stadium in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower.
