Cute Dressel family moment
After the medal ceremony, swimmer Caeleb Dressel, his eighth gold medal around his neck, ran over to the stands where his family was waiting.
Dressel hugged his wife, Meghan, and held their baby. The couple cried and smiled together as they looked at their son.
During the 4x100-meter relay, Dressel’s wife was seen in the stands cheering him on alongside Snoop Dogg. Their son, wearing big blue headphones and asleep in her arms, didn’t seem fazed.

For one of the American women swimmers who took silver in the 4 X 100-meter freestyle relay, the weight of the medal around their necks paled in comparison to its beauty.
"It’s super heavy, but you know, it’s beautiful," said Gretchen Walsh. "Honestly, it’s amazing."
"It’s from part of the original Eiffel Tower or something. So, I mean, this piece right there, it’s an honor. It’s honestly so surreal that it’s around my neck right now."
Basketball: Canada maintains lead after three quarters
Canada remains ahead of Greece after three quarters, up 68-60 headed into the final frame.
It’s been a physical contest, with the teams combining to shoot 48 free throws through three quarters. It’s not been particularly pretty, especially shooting wise—the countries have combined to convert on only 14 of their 46 three-point attempts.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is doing all he can to keep Greece in the game, scoring 25 of his team’s 60 points. Canada has a more balanced attack, with three players scoring in double digits compared to Greece’s two.
Swimming: 'It's about who can really keep it together in the mind,' Titmus says
After overtaking Summer McIntosh and Katie Ledecky to successfully defend her gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle, Australia's Ariarne Titmus reflected on how her first victory prepared her for this one.
"I know what it takes to be an Olympic Champion," Titmus, 23, said. "The noise and atmosphere and village life definitely makes performing well hard, but I'm really happy to come out on top."
Speaking about the challenges of performing at your best in the Olympic atmosphere, Titmus added: “It’s about who can really keep it together in the mind."
The three-time gold medalist said she thinks of herself as "so normal" and hopes to inspire young kids back home in Australia. When asked about her rival swimmers, she gave a shout-out to Ledecky.
"We've got a pretty good relationship outside the water, like I definitely don't see my rivalry with her in anything but racing. I really respect her as a person," Titmus said of the American legend.

'A medal is a medal,' Ledecky says
Katie Ledecky was in a tight race with Ariarne Titmus and Summer McIntosh during the 400-meter freestyle before finishing third for her 11th Olympic medal.
"I would like to have been faster, so just a little disappointed that I could not bring my best today," Ledecky said. "But a medal is a medal."
Basketball: Canada leads Greece by 10 at halftime
Canada has opened up a 48-38 lead on Greece at halftime.
Greece was within three points with just over eight minutes left in the second quarter, but were outscored 20-13 the rest of the way. Canada has three scorers in double digits: Dillon Brooks with 11, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 12, and R.J. Barrett leading with 13. Canada’s physicality was an issue for Greece—the Canadians got to the free-throw line 20 times in the first half.
Playing in his first Olympics, Giannis Antetokounmpo leads his country with 16 points. Turnovers have been an issue for Greece however, who coughed up the ball nine times in the opening 20 minutes.
Both teams are playing in their first game of the Olympics.
