The Olympic swimming schedule today features three finals, including Caeleb Dressel in the 50m free. The Olympic track and field schedule is full prelims, heats and qualifying rounds, including Sha’Carri Richardson’s heat in the 100 meters, but the men’s 10,000m final is today.
At least seven U.S. squads are competing across five team sports, 26 sports in total are in action, and USA TODAY Sports will bring you live results, medal count, highlights, and more throughout the day. Follow along.
Seven teams have already advanced to the Olympic men’s soccer knockout stage, and one more country will join them as the group stage concludes Tuesday.
Huang Yaqiong teamed with Zheng Siwei to win the gold medal in the women's badminton mixed doubles competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics, beating Kim Wonho and Jeong Naeun of South Korea (21-8, 21-11). Then, once Yaqiong went through the medal ceremony, fellow Chinese badminton player Liu Yuchen had a surprise for her.
2024 Olympic medals: Who is leading the medal count? Follow along as we track the medals for every sport.
Yuchen – who won a silver medal in the men’s doubles competition at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and competed in men’s doubles again during these Paris Games – pulled out a ring, got down on one knee and proposed.
Already holding flowers in her hands from the medal ceremony, Yaqiong quickly said yes. The proposal was shown on the videoboard at the Porte de la Chapelle Arena in Paris and the crowd celebrated along with the couple. — Mark Giannotto
Schauffele, Matsuyama, Fleetwood top golf leaderboard
Defending Olympic men's golf champion Xander Schauffele is in excellent position to bring the gold home to the United States once again.
Schauffele, who has already won the PGA Championship and British Open this year, fired a 5-under 66 on Friday to join a three-way tie for the lead after two rounds of play.
For two days at Le Golf National, only one factor – big or very, very small – has seemingly been able to slow Schauffele: Got to watch out for those ants.
"It was an ant pile, or whatever you want to call it, in their home," he said. "So I didn't want to mess with it too much."
First-round leader Hideki Matsuyama of Japan shot a solid 3-under 66 at Golf Nacional in Paris to join Schauffele. And Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood had the round of the day (a 7-under 64) to create the three-way tie at 11-under. — Steve Gardner and Gentry Estes
Police investigate death threats against opening ceremony director
Authorities in Paris have launched a hate speech investigation after the Paris Olympics opening ceremony artistic director Thomas Jolly filed a complaint, alleging he was the subject of death threats.
Jolly filed the complaint with the Paris prosecutor’s office Tuesday, four days after the opening ceremony. In the complaint, he said he had been defamed and endured "public insults."
The opening ceremony has been a source of controversy and scrutiny, featuring scenes of drag queens and another homage to a festival honoring the Greek god Dionysus that many thought was a parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting "The Last Supper."
The online backlash caused organizers of the 2024 Paris Games to apologize earlier this week. — Scooby Axson
Russian athletes clinch first medals
Russia was banned to compete as a country in the Paris Olympics, but approved athletes were permitted to compete as Individual Neutral Athletes, or AINs.
And with only 15 of these athletes participating, there haven't been many opportunities for Russian Olympians to pocket medals. Until now.
Women's tennis players Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider advanced to the gold medal match of the women's tennis doubles, ensuring at least a silver at these Games. Andreeva and Shnaider beat Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain in the semifinal, 6-1, 6-2, on Friday.
The Russian duo will play Sunday in the final at Roland Garros.
Meet the painter with the best seat at Paris Olympics most iconic venue
PARIS — Peter Spens, a London-based painter, has spent the past eight days at the Paris Olympics in a perch atop the media standard high above the beach volleyball court at Eiffel Tower Stadium overlooking the famous French landmark.
For the third consecutive Olympics, the International Volleyball Federation (FIBV) has commissioned Spens to paint a mural of one of the game’s fastest growing and most popular sports.
Spens started drawing this year’s painting last Friday and has been at the venue ever since, using oil paint to add striking detail to his work. When he’s done, the painting will hang at FIBV headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. Eventually, every beach volleyball winner will receive a signed print.
"It’s nice," Spens said. "It’s like for two weeks every four years I become a beach volleyball painter." — David Birkett
USMNT's loss in quarters shows how far it has to go
PARIS — It took all of seven minutes to end the best run by the U.S. men's soccer team at the Olympics in almost 25 years.
That’s how much time elapsed between second-half goals by Ilias Akhomach and Achraf Hakimi, both of which came off U.S. mistakes. What had been a close game became a rout, allowing Morocco to move onto next week’s semifinals with a 4-0 win.
While the Americans will try and find some comfort in making their deepest run since 2000, when they finished fourth in Sydney, this was yet more proof they remain very far away from contending with the best teams in the world.
Morocco was clearly the better team, finishing with a whopping 8-1 advantage in shots, and the Americans just as clearly had no answer for the Atlas Lions. Worse, both goals from the run of play were the result of U.S. miscues. — Nancy Armour
USA's Casey Kaufhold, Brady Ellison win team archery bronze
The United States' Casey Kaufhold and Brady Ellison combined Friday to win the bronze medal in the archery mixed team competition.
The Americans beat India 6-2 in the bronze medal match after losing 5-3 to Germany in the semifinals.
Against India, the U.S. opened with perfect 10 with the first arrow in all four sets.
The medal for Kaufhold, 20, is the first for a U.S. female archer since 1988 and a nice consolation after the world's No. 1 suffered an early upset defeat in the individual competition in the Paris Games.
It was the fourth medal for Ellison, 35, who is in his fifth Olympics and still searching for his first gol. He'll try for that Sunday in the final four rounds of the men's individual tournament. — Gentry Estes
Iga Swiatek wins bronze medal
Iga Swiatek knocked off Anna Karolina Schmiedlova of Slovakia 6-2, 6-1 in the women's singles bronze medal match to become Poland's first tennis player to win an Olympic medal in tennis.
China's Qinwen Zheng and Croatia's Donna Vekic will face off in the gold medal match Saturday.
USMNT eliminated by Morocco
Morocco is moving on to its first ever men's Olympic semifinals.
Morroco beat the United States 4-0, getting a final goal when Mehdi Maouhoub converted a penalty kick. Team USA made it out of the knockout stage at the Olympics for the first time since 2000.
Morroco will play the winner of Japan vs. Spain in the semis.
Taiwan boxer wins Olympics opener
Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan won her opening bout in the women’s competition as the issue of gender and eligibility criteria continued to generate anger and confusion. Capitalizing on her length and quickness, the 5-foot-10 Lin beat Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova on points by unanimous decision.
Lin and Imane Khelif were disqualified from the 2023 world championships for reportedly failing gender eligibility criteria at an event run by the International Boxing Association. — Josh Peter
Morocco up 3-0 on USMNT
Hope is dwindling for the U.S. men's soccer team, which finds itself down 3-0 against Morocco.
Morocco extended its lead to 2-0 in the 63rd minute when Ilias Akhomach scored on an assist from Oussama Targhalline. Achraf Hakimi scored seven minutes later to give Morocco the 3-0 lead.
Chase Budinger, Miles Evans lose in straight sets
The men's beach volleyball tandem of Chase Budinger and Miles Evans lost 21-18, 21-11 to Spain's Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira. They are no longer in control of their own destiny, awaiting the results of the Netherlands-France match to find out where they place in pool and if they move on.
Carlos Alcaraz will play for gold
Spain men's tennis star and three-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz will get a chance to add a gold medal to his trophy case.
Alcaraz, 21, cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada to become the second-youngest man in the history of the Olympics to reach the men's singles final.
Morocco strikes first against USMNT
PARIS − A questionable penalty has the U.S. men in a hole.
Morocco leads the Americans 1-0 at halftime of their quarterfinal match Friday after Soufiane Rahimi converted a penalty in the 29th.
The Atlas Lions dominated the first half – four shots on goal to none, and a 66-34 edge in possession – and U.S. goalkeeper Patrick Schulte tipped a dangerous curling shot by Ilias Akhomachi over the crossbar in the 13th. But it took Rahimi’s penalty to get Morocco on the board.
In the 28th minute, Nathan Harriel and Oussama El Azzouzi were both going for a ball and Rahimi came in late. It looked as if Harriel got Rahimi on the underside of the calf, though the contact didn’t look severe. Still, there was contact and it occurred in the box, so a penalty was called.
Schulte actually guessed correctly, diving to his right. But Rahimi’s shot skirted beneath his fingers and into the net, putting Morocco ahead.
The U.S. men are trying to extend their best run in the Olympic tournament since 2000, when they finished fourth. − Nancy Armour

Tommy Fleetwood sits one stroke back.

Spain earned the gold and New Zealand took silver. − Steve Gardner
Cunningham advances to high jump final
U.S. high jumper Vashti Cunningham didn’t think the qualifying round in her third Olympics would be challenging.
Cunningham cleared the bar at 6 feet, 3½ inches on her third attempt and had to wait for the final results to see if she had advanced to the final round.
Cunningham found out that she qualified into the women’s high jump final while speaking to reporters after the event. She let out a sigh of relief and was visibly emotional.
“Thank you, lord. I’m sweating right now,” Cunningham said. “This means that God isn’t done with me and has a plan. I knew he had a plan for me at the beginning. I didn’t know it was gonna look like this – third time clearances and scrapping to get into the final. But I’m just blessed.”
Thirteen women advanced to Sunday’s women’s high jump final. Ukraine’s Yaroslava Mahuchikh is the No. 1 qualifier with a clearance of 6 feet, 4¾ inches. Cunningham and Serbia’s Angelina Topić were the final two qualifiers in the event.
Cunningham placed 13th at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and sixth at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
American Rachel Glenn wasn’t so lucky. Glenn finished in 15th with a jump of 6 feet, 2 inches and didn’t advance. − Tyler Dragon
Win or go home for U.S. men's soccer team
PARIS − The U.S. men are facing Morocco, and a very hostile crowd, as they try to keep their best run in 24 years going.
This is the Americans’ first trip to the quarterfinals since 2000, when they finished fourth, their best showing in the Olympic tournament. They’re playing Morocco, which has two of the best players in the tournament in leading scorer Soufiane Rahimi and Achraf Hakimi, along with most of the fans at Parc des Princes.
The winner of this game advances to the semifinal Monday in Marseille, where they’ll play either Japan or Spain.
The other big quarterfinal is Argentina vs. host France, who also faced off in the World Cup final in 2022. Though the Olympics are a U-23 tournament for the men, teams are allowed three overage players and all three of Argentina’s are from that World Cup-champion team: Julian Alvarez, Thiago Almada and Geronimo Rulli, the backup goalkeeper. − Nancy Armour
Schauffele atop Olympic golf leaderboard
Hideki Matsuyama was atop the leaderboard after the first round of Olympic golf at Le Golf National. But Xander Schauffele, fresh off major victories at The PGA Championship and The Open Championship, has taken command of the lead in the second round with a two-stroke lead after 16 holes. He opened with a 6-under-par 65 in the opening round of the Paris Olympics.

Disappointing day for USA in women's rowing
VAIRES-SUR-MARNE, France. − After Team USA won a gold medal in the men's four rowing event at the Paris Games on Thursday, disappointing finishes for the United States followed on Friday at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.
In an event being discontinued by the Olympics following the Paris Games, the Team USA tandem of Molly Reckford and Michelle Sechser finished last among six boats in lightweight women's double sculls action, with a time of 6:55.60. Great Britain won gold (6:47.06), followed by Romania (silver) and Greece (bronze).

Katie Ledecky cruises in 800 freestyle qualifying heat
Katie Ledecky cruised to a comfortable victory in her qualifying heat in the 800-meter freestyle. She owns the fastest 16 times in history in this event, though this (8:16:62) was not one of them.
She will be looking for an unprecedented fourth consecutive gold medal in the event − her final one at the Paris Olympics − which is scheduled to start at 3:09 p.m. ET (9:09 p.m. in Paris) on Saturday, August 3.
In addition, one more gold medal for Ledecky would be her ninth, breaking a tie with Jenny Thompson and giving her the most by any American woman in Olympic history. − Steve Gardner
