Americans Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse take gold and bronze in men's 1,500

SAINT-DENIS, France — Cole Hocker stunned Great Britian’s Josh Kerr and Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win the 1,500 in dramatic fashion.

Hocker was in fourth place during the final lap but had one final kick left with roughly 60 meters to go and shockingly ran by favorites Kerr and a fading Ingebrigtsen as the crowd cheered.

Hocker crossed the line in first and immediately threw his hands up in jubilation as the scoreboard displayed that he had run an Olympic record 3:27.65 to win gold. Hocker becomes just the fourth American to win an Olympic gold medal in the 1,500.

Kerr finished second in a nation record 3:27.79 and fellow American Yared Nuguse snuck in to get the bronze, running a personal-best 3:27.80. It's the first time Team USA has had two medalists in the men's 1,500 in 112 years.

Ingebrigtsen took a disappointing fourth place and was in disbelief at the finish. Ingebrigtsen won gold at the Tokyo Olympics and Kerr got the bronze. This year’s 1,500 was supposed to be a showdown between the two, but Hocker stole the show and set the Olympic record. — Tyler Dragon

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone leads three Americans into women's 400 hurdles final

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone looks like her usual spectacular self, and that’s bad news for everyone else.

McLaughlin-Levrone easily won her heat — what else is new? — in the women’s 400 hurdles semifinals Tuesday evening at Stade de France, turning in a 52.13 in a race where she barely looked like she was trying. McLaughlin-Levrone is the world record holder (50.65), and heavy gold medal favorite. In this race, everyone is basically running for silver. She turned in the best semifinal time by more than fourth-tenths of a second.

McLaughlin-Levrone has said she wants to go below 50 seconds, and given her history of world records on the biggest stages, anything seems possible in Thursday’s final. At the very least it seems like a given that McLaughlin-Levrone will set a new Olympic record, which currently sits at 51.46. She set that in Tokyo three years ago.

American Jasmine Jones also qualified, finishing second in her semifinal at 53.83. The third American hurdler, Anna Cockrell, also advanced to the final, using a strong kick to pull in front of Jamaica’s Shiann Salmon. Cockrell finished in 52.90. — Lindsay Schnell

USWNT beats Germany to reach soccer's gold medal match

LYON, France — The United States women’s national soccer team defeated Germany, 1-0, in the semifinals on Tuesday to advance to the gold medal match at the 2024 Paris Olympics .

Sophia Smith scored a goal in overtime, assisted by Mallory Swanson, to keep the Americans’ chances of winning their first gold since 2012 alive. Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher made an incredible save with her foot deep into extra time to keep Germany off the board.

The USWNT will face the winner of Spain vs. Brazil, which kicks off at 3 p.m. ET, on Saturday in Paris. — Nancy Armour

France lineup change pays off vs. Canada in men’s basketball quarterfinal

PARIS – French coach Vincent Collet made a massive lineup change ahead of France’s quarterfinal game against Canada, a game in which the loser was knocked out without a chance to medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Collet benched Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier, who each started the three games in group play, and the jolt worked.

France advanced to the semifinals with an 82-73 victory against Canada Tuesday at Bercy Arena. It will play Germany Thursday for a spot in the gold-medal game.

Frank Ntilikina, Nic Batum, Isaia Cordinier, Victor Wembanyama and Guerschon Yabusele started for France, which took an early 19-5 lead. The defense forced Canada to miss 10 of its first 12 shots and commit five turnovers.

Yabusele scored 22 points, Cordinier scored 20 and Fournier added 15, and Gobert logged just four minutes.

France phenom Victor Wembanyama did not have a great offensive game (just seven points on 2-for-10 shooting), but he had 12 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block and kept Canada’s guards from scoring at will in the paint.

Canada shot 38% from the field, 24% on 3-pointers and put France on the line 42 times. France outscored Canada 33-18 from the free throw line. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Canada with 27 points, and RJ Barrett had 16 points. — Jeff Zillgitt

U.S. women's volleyball team sweeps Poland to reach semifinals

The United States women's volleyball team made short work of Tuesday's quarterfinal, sweeping Poland 25-22, 25-14, 25-20 to move into Thursday's semifinal against powerhouse Brazil.

The Brazilians haven't dropped a set in four matches in these Olympics. They swept the Dominican Republic in a quarterfinal earlier Tuesday.

Against Poland, the U.S. rolled through the first two sets in a total of only 45 minutes of playing time. The Americans then overcame a 7-1 deficit to start the third set, rallying to take the lead at 15-14 and eventually close out the match to advance within one victory of another Olympic medal.

The U.S. has earned a medal in women's volleyball in each of the past four Olympics, including a gold in Tokyo. Brazil beat Team USA for gold medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, while the Americans won the final match against Brazil in 2021.

In pool play in 2024, the Americans lost their first match of the Olympics against China but rebounded to edge Serbia 3-2 in a critical second match. From there, the U.S. hasn't lost a set, sweeping host France and Poland. — Gentry Estes

USA women's soccer vs. Germany: Sophia Smith breaks through with extra time goal

It took extra time, but Sophia Smith netted the first goal in the USA vs. Germany women's soccer tilt on Tuesday, giving the USWNT the 1-0 lead in the 95th minute.

All three Americans qualify for 400 final

SAINT-DENIS, France — Quincy Hall looks ready for the 400 final.

Hall raced around the track and had a clear lead ahead of all the other sprinters at the 300-meter mark. Down the homestretch, Hall maintained a five-meter lead over his competitors and cruised to the finish line in 43.95 to win his semifinal heat.

Hall won the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in the event. His season-best of 43.80 is the second fastest time in the world this year.

Grenada’s Kirani James ran a season-best 43.78 to win the second heat. While U.S. sprinter Christopher Bailey finished third, running a 44.31. Bailey’s time was good enough to advance to Wednesday’s final.

In the third and final semifinal heat, Great Britian’s Matthew Hudson-Smith took his foot off the gas with 20 meters remaining and coasted to a 44.07 to win. Hudson-Smith has the fastest time in the world this year (43.74).

Michael Norman finished second in the heat (44.26) to secure the other automatic qualifying spot.

The top two in each heat, plus the next two fastest times advanced to the 400 final.

Olympic wrestling: American Sarah Hildebrandt heads to gold medal match

At the Tokyo Olympics, Sarah Hildebrandt tasted Olympic glory. Now, she has an opportunity to make it sweeter.

Hildebrandt, the reigning Olympic 50kg bronze medalist in women's wrestling, will grapple in the final on Wednesday. The 2021 Games medalist defeated Mongolia's Otgonjargal Dolgorjay to advance to the final.

Hildebrandt will face India's Vinesh Vinesh.

USWNT vs Germany scoreless in first half

The U.S. recorded six shots (five on target) the first half, but weren't able to get one in the back of the net. Meanwhile, the Germans recorded zero shots on goal.

Skateboarder Bryce Wettstein finishes outside of medal range

PARIS — Bryce Wettstein nearly made history Tuesday in the women’s park final by becoming the first American woman to medal in skateboarding at an Olympic Games. Instead, the American women will have to wait until the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

Wettstein ended up sixth in the eight-person final after finishing the preliminaries second overall. Her score of 88.12, which came on her first run, wasn’t enough in a finals in which the women threw down. Wettstein fell in the second and third rounds.

Australia’s Arisa Trew, 14, took gold; she entered Paris as the No. 2 park rider in the world. No. 1-ranked and defending silver medalist Hiraki Cocona, who will turn 16 later this month, of Japan repeated with silver.

Great Britain’s Sky Brown, who at 13 years old won bronze in Tokyo three years prior, took bronze again.

Trew took the lead in the final round with a splendid 45 seconds of skating. The judges rewarded her with a 93.18 to move into first. Hiraki’s final run bumped her ahead of Brown but she could not leapfrog Trew. – Chris Bumbaca

Simone Biles discusses 'pin trading' with husband Jonathan Owens

Jonathan Owens seems to have gotten the full taste and experience of the 2024 Paris Olympics — including some inside pin trading.

Thanks to the Chicago Bears granting him some time away from training camp, Owens was able to watch his wife, decorated women's gymnast Simone Biles , win several Olympic medals, including helping the USA women's gymnastics team return to gold in the team-all-around event.

And while the first-year Bears safety was able to take in the excitement and history of Biles becoming of the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast (both men or women), Biles told TODAY's Hoda Kotb Tuesday morning that he was just as excited to pin trade at the Paris Games.

"He was so excited. He was more excited to pin trade," Biles said. "He was loving to pin trade. I didn't think he would but I did warn him that pin trading was really huge. So he absolutely loved that." – John Leuzzi

Olympic basketball: Nikola Jokic, Serbia hold off Patty Mills and Australia in OT

PARIS – Trailing by 24 points in the second quarter against Australia, Serbia chipped away at the deficit until it took a fourth-quarter lead – only to watch Patty Mills force overtime on a jump shot with two seconds left in the fourth quarter.

However, Serbia has three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. The Serbian star scored consecutive buckets in the final 67 seconds of overtime, lifting Serbia to a 95-90 victory over Australia in a their men’x 5x5 basketball quarterfinals game Tuesday.

Jokic (Denver Nuggets) had 21 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and four steals, and Bogdan Bogdanovic (Atlanta Hawks) had 17 points, six assists and five rebounds for Serbia. Mills (free agent) scored 20 of his 26 points in the first half, and teammate Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls) scored 25 points for Australia.

Australia led 44-20, bit Serbia cut that to 54-42 at halftime and took a lead in the third quarter.

Serbia will play the USA-Brazil winner in the semifinals Thursday. – Jeff Zillgitt

Meet the ukulele-playing USA skater fighting for medal

PARIS — Before her third and final run of the women’s park skateboarding preliminaries , Bryce Wettstein wished she could slow down time.

“I think when you work that hard to get here, and you’re like, ‘I’m here, I need to enjoy it,’” Wettstein said. “So I’m feeling out of this world … that was my dream run.”

Wettstein laid down a run oozing with confidence, difficulty and skill that resulted in a 85.65 from the judges. But before the score even showed up on the video board at Place de Concorde on Wednesday, the 20-year-old pumped both of her arms through the air.

The score placed her in second place entering finals, which took place later in the day.

Wettstein fell early in her first run and posted a 75.22 in the second, which would have left her on the cusp of making finals. She told herself to remove the doubts and go full swing. − Chris Bumbaca

Track coach losses credential amid abuse allegations

SAINT-DENIS, France — The Canadian Olympic Committee has revoked the accreditation of Rana Reider , the personal coach for track and field athlete Andre de Grasse, on its Olympic team, amid recent allegations of sexual and emotional abuse. Reider also coaches Italian Olympian Marcell Jacobs and American Trayvon Bromell.

Three lawsuits have been filed in Broward County, Florida against Reider and the track club he runs, among a list of other defendants.

The first complaint, which was filed in December 2023, lists the plaintiff as Jane Doe and includes an allegation of rape. The other two cases were filed in June by a 35-year-old retired long jumper from Great Britain and a 28-year-old American sprinter, who allege that Reider sexually harassed them by grabbing their buttocks or making suggestive comments about their appearances, among other claims.

USA TODAY does not identify individuals who allege sexual abuse without their permission. Attorneys for Reider did not immediately reply to messages seeking comment Tuesday. − Chase Goodbread

Serena Williams claims she was denied by a Paris restaurant

Stars, they're just like us: They post negative reviews of restaurants online too. Even during the Paris Olympics .

Just look at Serena Williams' tweet from earlier this week: "Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids," the tennis champion posted on X. "Always a first."

The restaurant, for its part, offered statements to media outlets apologizing to Williams while claiming it was fully booked . It replied to her tweet: "Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.  Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved."

It's unclear exactly what happened, though as is usually the case in incidents of this nature, people on both sides have weighed in. − David Oliver

Americans go head-to-head in sport climbing

LE BOURGET, France — Due to their time seeding, two American speed climbers had to go head-to-head in the first elimination run of speed qualifications at sport climbing.

American Sam Watson set a new world record time 4.75 seconds, a record he held and lost a few runs earlier in seeing to Indonesia’s Veddriq Leonardo. “Taking (the world record) back after I lost it by a couple thousandth of a second definitely means a lot,” said Watson after the competition.

American teammate Zach Hammer was eliminated.

Only seven climbers who won their elimination heats and one lucky loser with the fastest time advanced to the quarterfinals on Thursday, Aug. 8. − Sandy Hooper

Olympic wrestling day 2 live updates: Highlights, matchups and more

Hildebrandt secured a spot in the semifinals, pushing Team USA to a strong start in women's freestyle. However, Bey has been eliminated while Rau needs a win from his opponent in the round of 16 to stay alive. − Eli McKown

French crowd motivates Americans in sport climbing

LE BOURGET, France − In the boulder round of the women’s sport climbing semifinal, the tops were plentiful, unlike the men’s qualification round the day before.

Reigning gold medalist Janja Garnbrett finished the four boulder problems with an almost perfect score of 99.6 points out of 100 for first place. “It should be (one) hundred,” Garnbrett said jokingly after the competition.

Americans Brooke Raboutou finished qualification in third with 83.7 points and Natalia Grossman finished fifth with 69.2. Grossman had one of two flashes (no falls) on boulder number 2.

France’s two athletes Oriane Bertone and Zelia Avezou got the loudest cheers from the majority French crowd, which appeared to distract the rest of the climbers. “It was distracting to hear all that cheer, but it was also motivating,” said Raboutou.

The women’s semifinal will continue on Thursday with the lead event. The climber’s scores for both boulder and lead will be combined, and the top eight finishers will move on to finals. − Sandy Hooper

Germany defeats Greece to reach men's 5x5 basketball semi's

PARIS — Germany overcame a slow start and double-digit deficit to beat Greece 76-63 in a men’s 5x5 basketball quarterfinals game Tuesday at Bercy Arena. Germany will play the winner of France-Canada in the semifinals Thursday.

Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic) led Germany with 18 points, and Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) had 22 points for Greece. Greece led for much of the first quarter, but Germany, headed by several NBA players, including Dennis Schroder (Brooklyn Nets), pulled away in the second half. Schroder, who has been sensational in the Olympics, had 13 points and eight assists. − Jeff Zillgitt

Men's diving 3m springboard prelims: Two Americans advance

Team USA divers Carson Tyler and Andrew Capobianco both finished among the top-18 divers in Tuesday’s men’s 3-meter springboard prelims to advance to the semifinals on Wednesday.

In the six-round prelims, Tyler, 20, finished with a score of 389.80 to qualify in 10th place, while Capobianco, 24, was 15th with a score of 382.05.

A first-time Olympian, Tyler finished strong with his fifth- and sixth-round dives: first a reverse 3 1/2 somersaults in the tuck position with a 3.5 degree of difficulty, followed by a reverse 1 1/2 somersaults with 3 1/2 twists in the free position, also with a 3.5 degree of difficulty. Each dive earned Tyler a score of 73.50, his highest of prelims.

Two-time Olympian Capobianco also had his prelims high score on his final dive, a forward 4 1/2 somersaults in the tuck position with a degree of difficulty of 3.8, which got him a score of 79.80. That was strong enough to move him inside the top 18 ahead of Wednesday’s semis.

At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Capobianco finished 10th in the men’s 3-meter springboard, but he earned a silver medal in the men’s synchronized 3-meter springboard competition.

Men’s 3-meter springboard semifinals are set for Wednesday at 4 a.m. ET. − Michelle Martinelli

Three Americans qualify for long jump final

Jasmine Moore is sixth going into the final with a leap of 21 feet, 10¼ inches and Monae' Nichols has the eighth best mark at 21 feet, 9½ inches.

The opening round did have a little bit of drama. Defending Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo scratched her first two attempts and needed her third jump to qualify into the final.

On Mihambo’s third attempt, she took off over 30 centimeters behind the board and still qualified for the final with a mark of 22 feet, 6¼ inches. − Tyler Dragon

Freddie Crittenden advances in 110 hurdles in repechage round

SAINT-DENIS, France — U.S. hurdler Freddie Crittenden took full advantage of his second chance .

Crittenden got first place in his repechage heat of the men’s 110 hurdles. His first-place finish gives him a chance to race in the semifinals of the 110 hurdles.

The Paris Olympics introduced the repechage round. It allows runners who don't initially qualify from the first round to the semifinals to have a chance to rescue their Olympic dreams via the repechage rounds.

The semifinals for the 110 hurdles are set for Wednesday. USA track and field team co-captain Grant Holloway is the gold-medal favorite in the event. — Tyler Dragon

The bell is engraved with "2024 Paris," and will continue to be a part of the city's history in the time following the 2024 Games.

Fans have wondered what the bell's importance is, and why so many Olympic athletes have gravitated toward it after finishing their respective events. — Austin Curtright

Stop the madness with 3x3 basketball. This 'sport' stinks

We invented basketball. Name the form of it: 5x5, 3x3, Streetball, Slamball, HORSE. Doesn’t matter. We have the deepest pool of talent in the world to draw from. We’re supposed to win. We don’t celebrate bronze medals around here, and if this were a sport USA Basketball were actually serious about, everyone involved in the men’s 2-5 showing in Paris (after not even qualifying for Tokyo) would be fired.

But I’m here to tell you something after watching it up close in Paris: The effort isn’t worth it . — Dan Wolken
