The 2024 Paris Olympics are nearing their conclusion, with just a few days of competition left before Sunday’s closing ceremony. Check the schedule here.
Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo clinched victory in the men’s 200-meter race yesterday, delivering a surprising upset against Team USA’s Noah Lyles. Lyles, who won the 100-meter race earlier this week, took bronze in the 200-meter after testing positive for COVID-19. Meanwhile, American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone shattered her own world record to win gold in the 400-meter hurdles.
Tomorrow, the US men’s basketball team will compete against France for the gold medal after narrowly defeating Serbia 95-91 yesterday. The US women’s soccer team will also vie for gold in their match against Brazil, a potential redemption for the four-time World Cup champions after their early exit in last year’s tournament. On Sunday, the women’s volleyball team will face Italy for gold after overcoming Brazil in the semifinals yesterday.
