World record holder Sarah Sjorstrom of Sweden took gold and Torri Huske claimed silver for the U.S. in a stacked women’s 100-meter freestyle final. They beat out Mollie O’Callaghan of Australia, the gold medal favorite.

Sjostrom, 30, now has five Olympic medals — two gold, two silver and a bronze. She is the oldest gold medalist in this event, which she holds the world record for.

With her second-place finish, Huske claimed her third Olympic medal in Paris and her fourth overall. Huske led for much of the race and was overtaken near the end.

Spain's Rafael Nadal might've played his final Olympic match today after he lost with Carlos Alcaraz in the men's double quarterfinal to the USA's Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram. The 22-time major winner has remained noncommittal about his tennis career beyond 2024.

But nothing can take away from Nadal's impressive run in the 2008 Olympics. Coming off his first Wimbledon championship and fourth consecutive French Open title, Nadal entered the 2008 Beijing Olympics in pursuit of gold.

His path became daunting in the men’s single semifinal when he faced rival Novak Djokovic from Serbia.

They split the first two sets, setting up the decisive third. Nadal eventually prevailed, punching his ticket to the final.

Nadal beat Chile's Fernando Gonzalez, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 to win his first and thus far only Olympic gold medal.

He also left Beijing that summer with a new ranking, No. 1 in the world. Nadal held on to that ranking for 46 consecutive weeks.

The women's soccer quarterfinals are set after Group A finished its final group stage games today.

France, having beaten New Zealand 2-1, moves on to play Brazil on Friday. Colombia will face off against Spain in what is the Colombian national team's first-ever woman's quarterfinal match.

The U.S. is set to play Japan, and Germany will challenge Canada, the defending Olympic champions.

He's at it again.

Norwegian Swimmer Henrik Christiansen, otherwise known as the "Olympic Muffin Man," posted not one but two new videos featuring the muffin today.

The first one seemed rooted in some dark humor, as Christiansen opened with a "fake apology" to the muffin only to be cut off, returning seconds later seemingly struggling against duct tape bonds while the muffin appeared nearby. Although it might sound nonsensical, the TikTok video has 1.6 million views.

In his second video, Christiansen tests out a pain au chocolate but declares in the caption that the "muffin reigns supreme" over the chocolate croissant. The audio starts with an "Ew, what's that?" narration before it cuts to Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is a Place on Earth."

Nikola Jokic stuffed the stat sheet once again as Serbia bounced back from its loss to the U.S. with a blowout win over Puerto Rico. 

The U.S. men's 3x3 basketball team couldn't get by Poland, losing 19-17. The defeat leaves the Americans 0-2 in Paris.

Poland's Adrian Bogucki lead with 7 points and 5 rebounds.

Team USA went into the matchup after a loss to defending champion Serbia and lacked consistency in its offense as Jimmer Fredette scored 3 points. Fredette missed a two-point shot in the closing seconds that would've tied the game at 19.

Team USA's Dylan Travis and Canyon Barry each scored 6 points.

The U.S. is in last place and is one of just two winless teams in pool play thus far. It will play a doubleheader tomorrow, taking on Lithuania and Latvia.

It's no surprise that the White House is rooting for Team USA athletes in Paris.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre congratulated Team USA on its performance so far.

“Our nation’s athletes are making us all proud,” she said.

Fencing uses three weapons: épée, foil and saber. While they share a lot of basic rules, differences in their shapes and target areas change the speeds and styles of fencing matches. If you’re new to the sport, here’s a breakdown of the three weapon types:

• Foil is the smallest and most lightweight weapon. Foil fencers also target the smallest area — the torso — using only the tip of the blade. Scoring is largely based on how the point was made correctly, so you might think of foil as the most technical of the three.
• Épée uses only the blade’s point like foil does, but it is a much larger and heavier weapon. The whole body is a valid target — the goal is to hit and not get hit yourself. Fencers must carefully choose their moments to strike while positioning themselves strategically before they jump into action to get a “touch,” or a valid hit.
• Saber hits with not only the tip but also the edge of the weapon in a slashing motion that targets everything from the waist up, including the head. These matches are usually the fastest, involving swift exchanges of movement and rigorous footwork.

In foil and saber, there’s a “right of way” rule that doesn’t apply in épée. 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.

There is no definitive “most difficult” or “best” weapon, though all fencers have their preferences. Foil is often used as an introductory weapon to teach blade control and right of way, but that doesn’t make it any easier to strategize against an opponent.

Despite having gone into this Olympic match with a significant penalty, the Canadian women's soccer team defeated Colombia to advance to the quarterfinals.

Canada, the reigning gold medalists, managed to score in the second half, taking a 1-0 lead that it held on to for the final 30 minutes of the match. It's a huge comeback for the squad that was given an automatic penalty of six points after Team Canada coaches were using drones to spy on opponents.

Canada's players said they were not aware of the cheating, and appeals to overturn the punishment failed. Yet the squad prevailed, winning all three of its Group A matches in a surprising comeback.

As the final minutes of stoppage time rolled by, fans started chanting "Canada" to encourage the women as they fended off the Colombian players.
