Swifties will be tuning into the Olympics tonight, because NBC is airing a version of Taylor Swift's "...Ready For It?" live from the Eras Tour during its Olympic primetime coverage at 8 p.m. ET.

In a montage of Team USA athletes set to the song — that appears to compete with Beyoncé's similar Olympics promo video — LeBron James, Simone Biles and Noah Lyles (among many others) talk about what the Olympics mean to them.

Swift shared the video, posted by NBC Olympics, to her Instagram story and said "So ready to scream at my tv cheering for these athletes," with a gold medal emoji.

Baby, let the games begin!

As the ball tumbled out of the Saint-Denis sky, it seemed destined to reach the hands of one man: French rugby superstar Antoine Dupont.

In a thrilling rugby sevens final against holders Fiji, Dupont scored two tries and teed up another to clinch his country’s first gold of Paris 2024. But the man nicknamed “The Gifted” also cemented himself in the eyes of many as the sport’s best player — and possibly the greatest of all time.

“It’s always a pleasure to hear things like that, but I don’t spend a lot of time focusing on it,” Dupont, 27, told NBC News when asked about these accolades after the game. “I think now I will just enjoy my holidays,” he added with a laugh. “I am still young and I have a lot of work to do.”

France had started nervously, conceding a try to Fiji in less than 90 seconds, Selesitino Ravutaumada effortlessly cutting through their lines. But when Dupont came on at halftime, he quickly bent the game to his will. Every time he received the ball the decibels somehow became even more clamorous, as if the crowd was both charging and charged by the electricity of their talisman.

USA Surfing's top men, John John Florence and Griffin Colapinto — who happen to be the No. 1 and No. 2 world championship tour riders — advanced to round 3 by winning their respective heats.

Under the Olympics surfing competition framework, the second-place riders in each three-person heat will advance to round 2. Florence used his champion's timing and balance to make Teahupo'o's overhead barrels work in his favor.

He had the highest-scoring heat of the competition so far.

There were few surprises on Saturday as Brazil's own boardriding titans, defending world champion Felipe Toledo and former champ Gabriel Medina, advanced. Toledo, however, will have to fight in round 2 after he was beat by Peru's Alonso Correa.

Mexico's Alan Cleland, No. 2 on the World Qualifying Series, surfing's minor leagues, in 2023-'24, advanced to round 2.

Before Paris, no Belgian had ever won an Olympic medal in a time trial. Now there are two: Remco Evenepoel, who claimed gold, and Wout van Aert, who won bronze.

Italy's Filippo Ganna won silver, while American Brandon McNulty finished not far behind in fifth place.

South Korea's Oh Sanguk beat Tunisia's Fares Ferjani to take home the gold medal for individual saber.

In a moment of sportsmanship during the final match, Oh forewent making a move to score a point after Ferjani fell backwards. Instead, Oh lent him a hand to pull him up.

The bout score was 14-9.

Italy's Luigi Samele won bronze over Egypt's Ziad El Sissy, after favorites Aron Szilagyi and Eli Dershwitz (from Hungary and the U.S., respectively), lost early on in the day.

It may have been unrecognizable from the blue skies of the promotional photographs. But even the dayslong downpour soaking Paris 2024 could not detract from arguably the Games’ most epic venue, the Eiffel Tower Stadium, which hosted its first beach volleyball events today.

What makes this temporary venue so visually stunning is also the reason it’s so exposed to the elements. Its 11,800 seats are not hindered by any roof or awning, so every seat in the house can see the Eiffel Tower backdrop looming over them.

It also meant that everyone got drenched.

Four competitors in the women's cycling individual time trial slipped and fell, as rain turned the ground into a slick hazard.

Among them were USA's Taylor Knibb and Chloé Dygert, the latter still managing to take home the bronze.

Canada defeated Greece 86-79 on Saturday after a tense fourth quarter.

Canada led for most of the game and took an eight-point lead into the fourth, but Greece closed the gap in the waning minutes. A free-throw from Giannis Antetokounmpo cut the Canada lead to 82-79 with just over 30 seconds to go.

On the ensuing possession, Giannis was called for a foul, and Jamal Murray hit two free throws that effectively iced the game.

Greece hung around despite being outmatched in terms of NBA talent. Canada brought the second-most NBA players to Paris, behind only the United States. Greece went down by double digits on multiple occasions but got within striking distance in the final moments.

Canada was led by R.J. Barrett, who scored 21 points, including an emphatic dunk on the last basket of the night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 19 points to go along with seven assists.

Antetokounmpo did the heavy lifting for Greece, scoring 34 of his country’s 79 points.

It was a physical, ugly battle, with both sides combining for 51 fouls and 64 trips to the free-throw line. Canada’s defense was stifling, holding Greece to 39% shooting from the field.

Canada moved to second in the Group A standings, behind only Australia because of point differential. Greece is in third place after the defeat.

After a long day of qualifiers, the men's U.S. gymnastics team is headed to the final, where they're hoping to medal for the first time since 2008.

The squad finished in fifth behind China, Japan, Great Britain and Ukraine. The top eight teams move on to the final.

Also headed to the final in the all-around are Frederick Richard and Paul Juda. The top 24 in the all-around move on, and Richard and Juda snagged spots 10 and 13, respectively.

Pommel horse star Stephen Nedoroscik excelled on his single apparatus earlier today, coming in second overall and moving on to the final, where the top eight in each individual event advance.

After a disappointing performance from Brody Malone, who fell twice on his signature event, the high bar, the U.S. team will not be moving on in any other single event finals.
