Olympic skateboarding has been dominated by teens both in its debut in Tokyo and again here in Paris, but that hasn’t stopped 51-year-old Andy Macdonald, a father of three who is representing Britain in the men’s park event, from making his Olympic debut in Paris.

A skateboarding legend who won the first of his eight X Games gold medals in 1996, Macdonald was born and raised in Massachusetts and lives in southern California, but switched his allegiances to Britain earlier this year to make the Games through his English-born father.

"People come at me like: Is it weird? You’re the old guy at the skate park, you’re 50 and there are all these teenagers. No, it’s not weird because I was there first and I never left," Macdonald told the Financial Times. "I’m like a sponge, just taking it all in. Just the experience of being an Olympian. If they have a medal for who has the most fun, I got the gold locked up for sure."

A medal for fun? Maybe, but unfortunately, an Olympic medal will be beyond his grasp. Macdonald hasn’t made the final — his best run of 77.76 in today’s prelims was not enough to qualify. Team USA will have two riders, though, with Tom Schaar and Tate Carew in the final at 11:30 a.m. ET.

Today marks the final of the team acrobatic routine event of synchronized swimming — known as artistic swimming in the Olympics.

One burning question you may have after watching is how the swimmers' hair remains intact without swimming caps. Well, former Team USA athlete Mariya Koroleva revealed all to Vogue back in 2016. The answer? Gelatin!

"It’s like unflavored Jell-O — we mix it with water, and it turns into a gooey mixture," she said. "You comb or brush that into your hair, put it up in a bun, and put a headpiece over that, so when it dries, it gets really hard and your hair doesn’t fall out when you swim."

The final of the team event will begin at 1:30 p.m ET and the U.S. swimmers will need to get past China if they want to notch another gold.

The men's steeplechase is one of the Olympics' most eye-catching track and field events. The 3,000-meter race takes athletes over fixed barriers and a water jump.

The barriers are not to be confused with hurdles — they span several lanes and are fixed in place so don't fall down. They are slightly lower than hurdles and athletes need to clear them 28 times over the race's seven laps. The water jump is unique to the steeplechase: A sloping, 2-foot-deep water pool lies behind one of the barriers. Racers have to make it over the water once each lap.

The event evolved in the 1800s as a race between two towns' church steeples that would traverse hedges and streams. Today's steeplechase originated at Oxford University in England and made its Olympic debut in 1920.

Team USA's men last medaled in 2016 — Evan Jager took silver — but first-time Olympian Kenneth Rooks will be hopeful after he claimed the NCAA title for the event last year. The gold may be a battle between world-record-holder Lamecha Girma of Ethiopia and reigning Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco. Bahrain's Winfred Yavi broke the world record to claim gold in the women's event last night. The men's event is today at 3:43 p.m. ET.

America’s Erika Reineke crossed the finish line in sixth place at the end of the women’s dinghy medal race in Marseille. The 30-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, placed ninth overall in her Laser dinghy.

She came behind the Netherlands' Marit Bouwmeester, who won gold, with Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark in second and Line Flem Hoest of Norway in third.

Reineke qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team this year after three previous unsuccessful attempts. Her philosophy: “Never. Stop. Fighting.”

The Bercy Arena in Paris had been home to Simone Biles and company for the gymnastics events of the Games.

But with the gymnastics over, the arena has been transformed to host the final stages of the basketball tournament after the group stages were hosted in Lille. Check out the epic transformation below.

All sailing events in Marseille were delayed this morning because of a lack of wind, further disrupting competition. But there is good news: The wind has picked up and race organizers have given the go ahead for competition to start. 

America’s Erika Reineke is in ninth place ahead of the Women’s Dinghy medal race.

There are four medal races today in the women’s and men’s dinghy, mixed multihull, and mixed dinghy. 

The men’s and women’s dinghy medal races were already delayed on Tuesday because of the lack of wind.

Team USA gymnast Suni Lee has seen the funny side of her fall from the beam, joining the viral TikTok trend that has seen would-be athletes post their sporting fails to joke about why they didn't make the Olympics.

Lee slipped off the beam during Monday's final and has made light of the moment, sharing the clip of her fall with the caption, "Unfortunately I was selected for the Olympics."

Poland's Aleksandra Miroslaw, who broke her own world record twice in qualifying, has taken gold in the women's speed climbing.

Having dominated the competition up to this point, the final was a close-run thing — Miroslaw edged out China's Deng Lijuan by just 0.08 seconds to take the title with a climb of 6.10 seconds.

Miroslaw's world record, set on Monday, sits at 6.06 seconds. It is the first time an individual medal has been awarded for speed climbing after the discipline was combined with lead and boulder for its Olympic debut in Tokyo.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Charles Barkley says the U.S. men’s basketball team should win gold in Paris, but need to guard against complacency in Thursday’s knock-out game. "They only have to beat you one time," he told NBC’s Maria Taylor.

Barkley also praised the women’s basketball team, and reflected on his own experience as an Olympian. Check out the rest of his conversation with NBC News.
