Soccer: Japan wins it after late comeback

Reporting from Paris

In a stunning turn during stoppage time, Japan won 2-1 over Brazil after Momoko Tanikawa bombed one from beyond the penalty box following a turnover.

Japan's shocking comeback in the sixth minute of stoppage time was desperately needed after they lost 2-1 to Spain and likely could not afford to drop another one to survive group stage.

Batten's silver is best U.S. showing in Olympic mountain biking

Haley Batten’s silver medal in mountain biking is the best the U.S. has done in the discipline in the Games.

In a sport often dominated by Swiss and French riders — Switzerland’s Jolanda Neff, Sina Frei and Linda Indergand swept the podium in Tokyo — Batten’s second-place finish stands out.

The last time the U.S. medaled was the 2012 London Olympics, where Georgia Gould won bronze. That Games was also the best showing for the men with a 10th place finish for Todd Wells.

Before that, an American hadn’t been on the podium since the 1996 Atlanta Games, when Susan Demattei won the bronze in the sport’s Olympic debut.

Eyes are now on Team USA’s Christopher Blevins, who finished in 14th in Tokyo, and Olympic newcomer Riley Amos (first coached by Wells) as they are expected to compete in the men’s race tomorrow.

Basketball: USA leading after three quarters, Jayson Tatum absent

USA leads Serbia 84-65 after three quarters.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant have been dominant for the States, combining for 41 points on 16-17 shooting. They’ve been the most impressive players for USA so far, which is overwhelming Serbia with its depth. Nikola Jokić has been great for his country, recording 16 points, five assists and three rebounds, but it hasn’t been enough against the U.S.’s stacked roster.

USA’s roster is so stacked in fact. Jayson Tatum has yet to enter the game. The Boston Celtics star and 2024 NBA champ hasn’t seen any action through three quarters. The team hasn’t announced any injury for Tatum, so it seems to be a coach’s decision for right now. With Durant back after missing tune-up play with a calf injury, coach Steve Kerr has opted for more defensive options in the backcourt, with Jrue Holiday and Derrick White each getting run.

It will be interesting to see how Kerr manipulates the roster moving forward. He has great options, and it makes sense to play less ball-dominant players than Tatum with Durant back on the wing.
