French curl braids have been a popular choice, and there’s a wide array of dyes, plaits and long locks. After honing his style for the walk-in at Stade de France ahead of the 100-meter final — weaving little white pearls into his hair for the track and field’s marquee event — Noah Lyles won the gold medal by a whisker, or a hair’s breadth. Jamaica’s sprinting star Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce set the bar high at past meets with her long, bright green and gold hair, and national colors have again been a popular theme for hair tones at the 2024 Olympics.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

PARIS (AP) — In the wake of a Chinese doping scandal, Michael Phelps doubled down Monday on his support for tougher sanctions — including a lifetime ban for anyone who tests positive for a banned substance. “If you test positive, you should never be allowed to come back and compete again, cut and dry,” Phelps said. “I believe one and done.” The World Anti-Doping Agency and World Aquatics have acknowledged that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. The results were not made public until media reports surfaced this year, with both bodies accepting the Chinese explanation that the positive tests were caused by tainted food. Nine of those swimmers won medals - several as part of relay teams - in Paris, leading British star Adam Peaty to gripe that the playing field was not even.
