USA, China knotted up in race for gold medals
The U.S. won two gold medals, four silvers and two bronze medals on Day 10 of competition at the Paris Games, bringing its total medal count to 79.
The USA leads nations in total medals, but that has been the case throughout these Games.
The U.S. is tied for first with China when it comes to gold medals. Each country has 21 of those.
France and Australia each have 13 golds, and Great Britain has 12.
3x3 basketball probably sticking with four-man team
Don't expect a new “Jimmer Rule” to come out of Paris 2024.
The U.S. men’s 3x3 basketball team didn’t medal, and a key factor was the loss of scoring machine Jimmer Fredette — who went down with a serious injury early in the tournament, forcing America to play with no bench.
Asked whether rules might be changed to allow for an alternate fifth player, world basketball chief Andreas Zagklis said today that’s been discussed but that “in principle, we don’t have it in our plans to add a substitute player.”
A more likely scenario is the tournament’s expanding from the current eight teams so pool play could divided into at least two divisions. That would lead to fewer games per team, so a squad dealing with injury could better manage the workload, Zagklis said.
An expanded field could also allow more nations — not known for their basketball but fielding strong 3x3 teams — to make it. Such teams that didn’t qualify for Paris but came close include Mongolia, Austria, Belgium and Japan.
The crowds are full and raucous at the Paris Olympics. Outside the events? Not so much.
PARIS — For athletes and audiences, these have been the Olympics when raucous crowds have roared once again following years of lockdown restrictions.
But outside the din of the stadiums, it’s impossible to ignore that Paris is relatively quiet.
The International Olympic Committee promises that hosting the Games “generates powerful economic benefits.” And Paris 2024 has vowed that tourism, hotel and catering sectors “will benefit first and foremost from the influx of visitors.”
This does not appear to have happened.
Business is significantly down for shops, restaurants and cafés, according to trade data and dozens of interviews by NBC News. Taxi drivers sit idle at their ranks, some blaming the Olympics for driving away fares. Major streets and attractions are remarkably calm — and even the “Mona Lisa” is less mobbed than usual.
Mondo Duplantis breaks his own world record — again — on his way to pole vault gold
Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record for an incredible ninth time after securing gold at the Paris Olympics, clearing a height of 6.25 meters.
Jordan Chiles' win has echoes of Aly Raisman's 2012 medal
Aly Raisman knows exactly how Jordan Chiles was feeling today.
The six-time Olympic medalist faced an identical situation in the balance beam finals at the 2012 London Games. After losing an all-around bronze medal in a heart-wrenching tiebreaker, Raisman thought she was fourth again on the beam.
But her coach, Mihai Brestyan, knew something was not right. He appealed her score and, like Chiles a dozen years later, it made the difference between the bronze and no medal at all.
“I remember my coach was rushing to put in the inquiry and just making sure that he was writing everything down correctly,” Raisman told NBC News. “So it’s definitely a race against the clock, and it’s a lot of pressure. It was just so emotional and so special when it went my way.”
Men's water polo: U.S. heads to quarterfinals with momentum win over Croatia
The U.S. men’s water polo team defeated Croatia today to finish pool play with a win and head to the quarterfinals with momentum as the No. 3 finisher in Group A.
The team's next match will be against Australia on Wednesday as the U.S. seeks its first semifinal appearance since 2008, when it brought home silver in the event. Head coach Dejan Udovicic said he believed in this team.
"In my more than 25-year coaching career, this is one of the most talented teams I have ever coached," Udovicic said.
Olympics have inspired the internet to share its sporting fails
Many athletes are living out their Olympic dreams in Paris — while others on TikTok are showing off why they didn’t make the cut.
In what’s become a viral trend, dozens of people online are posting videos of times when their various athletic endeavors have gone awry, joking it’s “why I didn’t make it to the Olympics.”
Those taking part in the trend have often used a remixed version of the American national anthem called “Star Bangled (Bass Boosted)” as the sound to accompany their videos. More than 250,000 people have used the audio as of Monday afternoon, though not all videos are linked to the trend itself.
Many have placed text over throwback videos of themselves partaking in various sports that are part of the Games, joking that they are “sorry to announce” or “sad to report” before the video why they very obviously were not selected to compete.
Simone Biles poses with her Paris hardware
Biles closed out her competition in Paris with a silver in today's floor final, which will accompany her three gold medals back to the States.
"More than my wildest dreams," Biles, now an 11-time Olympic medalist, said in an Instagram post. All those medals might need their own suitcase.
American rugby player marvels at the perks of free health care in the Olympic Village
While some people might think the chance at gold is the best perk of the Olympics, Team USA's Ariana Ramsey is enjoying a benefit very foreign to her: free health care.
Ramsey has posted a series of TikTok videos telling fans how she is taking advantage of the free medical care in the Olympic Village now that her rugby sevens tournament is over. So far, Ramsey says, she's gotten a dental exam, an eye exam, glasses and a pap smear all without cost.
Apparently, Ramsey’s videos have made the rounds of French media, as she says some of the health care workers at her eye exam told her that they’ve seen her videos on the news and thanked her.
"Anyway, America needs to do better with their health care system," Ramsey said in a video today. "There is no reason that me, an American girl, should be so amazed by free health care.”
