Coming off of a thrilling quarterfinal extra-time win over Japan, the U.S. women's national team delivered a stellar performance yet again when it topped Germany, 1-0, to secure a ticket to the gold medal match. 

Sophia Smith scored in extra time in the 95th minute and goalie Alyssa Naeher came up with a huge save to secure the victory for the U.S.

"I felt a lot of emotions: I was relieved, I was happy," Smith said. "It was a really tough game. Our defense was amazing. What can I say about them?"

The U.S. will now play in the gold medal match on Saturday, Aug. 10, against Brazil.

Team USA is looking to win its first gold medal since the 2012 London Games.

American Cole Hocker won his first Olympic medal on Tuesday after shocking the men's 1500m field to win gold.

Hocker was in fourth place entering the bell lap. But he took the inside lane and blazed down the home stretch to sprint by Tokyo Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigsten, reigning world champion Josh Kerr and U.S. teammate Yared Nuguse to claim the Olympic title. With a time of 3:27.65, Hocker set an Olympic record in the process.

“That’s an unbelievable feeling," Hocker said. "I just felt like I was getting carried by the stadium and God. My body just kind of did it for me. My mind was all there and I saw that finish line."

Kerr took the silver while Nuguse claimed bronze.

“Winning gold was my goal this entire year," Hocker said. "I wrote that down and I repeated it to myself even if I didn’t believe it. 

"My performances showed me that I was capable of running 3:27, whatever it took. I knew I was a medal contender, and I knew that if I get it right, it would be a gold medal. I’ve been saying that.”

American Gabby Thomas sprinted to victory in the women's 200m final on Tuesday night in Paris. The race came down to the wire as Thomas bested Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred with a time of 21.83 seconds to claim the gold medal. 

Thomas is joined on the medal podium by U.S. teammate Brittany Brown, who earned bronze for her first Olympic medal.

“I don't think it could have gone any better," Thomas said. "My coach told me before I got out there, that the only thing I need to do is get the lead. Get the lead, and then finish strong.

"I couldn't tell you where my competitors were in that race because I blacked out and when I crossed the line, that's the only thing I remember.”

After scoring nine medals at the Tokyo Games, the expectations are high once again for Team USA's freestyle wrestlers in Paris. The first one to take the mat was Amit Elor, and after cruising through her first three matches on Monday, she defeated Kyrgyzstan's Meerim Zhumanazarov in Tuesday's final to secure the country's first wrestling gold medal of these Games.

Elor surrendered just two points during her path to the gold medal. The 20-year-old is now the youngest American wrestler to ever win Olympic gold and is poised to be a force for years to come.

Afterward, Lopez left his shoes on the mat — a symbolic move that wrestlers use to indicate their retirement.

In the semifinal, Serbia will get a rematch with Team USA, which dominated Brazil from start to finish for a 122-87 win in the day's final quarterfinal.

The U.S. had six players score in double figures, led by Devin Booker (18 points) and Anthony Edwards (17). Joel Embiid came to life in this one with 14 points and seven rebounds in just over 12 minutes of action.

During the game, Kevin Durant made history by becoming the all-time leading scorer in U.S. Olympic history.

China's Quan Hongchan delivered an incredible performance in the women's 10m platform competition, scoring perfect 10s from all seven judges on her first jump.

Hongchan's teammate, Chen Yuxi, remained competitive but was never able to quite catch Quan.

Chen finished with a final score of 425.60, 40.6 points less than the Olympic record score she set in Tokyo (466.20).

At 17 years old, Quan is the defending Olympic gold medalist. At the Tokyo Games, at just 14 years old, Quan bested Chen, who finished in second place as a 15-year-old.

Quan and Chen won gold as a synchro pair in the synchronized 10m platform earlier in the Games. 

China has now won gold in each of the five diving events that have been contested in Paris. Always dominant, China has earned a medal in all but one diving event since 2000 (53 events). This is also the third-straight Olympics that China has gone 1-2 in this event.
