The U.S. women's 4x100m relay team of Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha "TeeTee" Terry, Gabby Thomas and Sha'Carri Richardson set the track ablaze, winning gold with a time of 41.78 seconds in Friday's final.

Great Britain finished in 41.85 seconds, taking the silver medal while Germany took the bronze after finishing in 41.97 seconds.

Team USA's victory marks the 12th gold medal (17th total) for the U.S. in this event in the 23 times is has been held. In the last four Olympic Games, the United States has won three golds and one silver in the women's 4x100m relay. 

Thomas (200m gold), Richardson (100m silver) and Jefferson (100m bronze) each won their second medal of these Games. Thomas now has four Olympic medals in her career.

In the men's 4x100m relay, the U.S. team of Christian Coleman, Kenny Bednarek, Kyree King and Fred Kerley botched the first baton handoff (between Coleman and Bednarek) and finished in seventh. The Americans were then disqualified for passing the baton outside the takeover zone. Two decades of relay headaches have continued for the U.S. men’s relay squad, which has not earned a single medal in this event since 2004 — and no gold medals since 2000.

After a 24-year wait, the United States finally has an Olympic champion in weightlifting.

Olivia Reeves, 21, born three years after Tara Notts won Team USA’s last weightlifting gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, topped the women’s 71kg (156 lbs.) competition at the 2024 Paris Games Friday.

Reeves, a native of Chattanooga, Tennessee, successfully completed each of her first five lifts — including an Olympic record snatch of 117kg (258 lbs.) which nearly took her off the platform — to win the competition with a total of 262kg (578 lbs.) at her debut Olympics.

She became just the second American weightlifting gold medalist since 1956.

The U.S. women's basketball team defeated Australia, 85-64, to reach an eighth straight gold medal game.

Breanna Stewart continued her stellar tournament play and led the team with 16 points, six rebounds and five assists. Stellar defense throughout helped propel the Americans to another comfortable victory.

The American women have now won 60-straight Olympic games.

In the other semifinal, France defeated Belgium 81-75 in an overtime thriller to set up another U.S.-France gold medal showdown. The two countries will play each other in both the women's and men's gold medal games.

Men's gold medal match

In an exciting finale to the men's soccer tournament, Spain defeated France, 5-3, to win the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

France came back from a 3-1 deficit, leveling the score at 3-3 with a stoppage-time penalty and sending the match to extra time. Spain was able to put two goals past France during extra time to secure the win and the gold.

"These matches are always difficult," Spain head coach Santi Denia said. "You have a very strong team like France who can sit back and defend very well, but we were able to break them. I'm very happy because our players sacrificed a lot to be here and they deserve to win the gold medal."

MATCH STATS

Women's bronze medal match

Germany defeated Spain, 1-0, to win bronze in the women's tournament. Giulia Gwinn scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 64th minute. Her goal was the first and only goal Germany scored in the knockout stages at these Olympics.

The stellar play of Germany's defense and Ann-Katrin Berger’s brilliant goalkeeping played a pivotal role in the team's win.

This is Germany's fifth Olympic medal in women's soccer. The Germans have now won an Olympic medal in all five of the last five Games in which they qualified. Germany won bronze in 2000, 2004 and 2008 while claiming gold in 2016. 

MATCH STATS

The women's gold medal match featuring the U.S. and Brazil kicks off at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday.

With two gold medals already on the board, the U.S. continued to add to its haul with three additional medals on this latest day of wrestling.

Spencer Lee lost to Japan's Rei Higuchi in the men's freestyle 57kg final, leaving Lee with a silver medal.

Helen Maroulis needed just 24 seconds to pin Canada's Hannah Taylor in the women's freestyle 57kg bronze medal match, giving the 32-year-old her third career Olympic medal in her third appearance.

And 23-year-old Aaron Brooks rolled up a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan's Javrail Shapiev in the men's freestyle 86kg bronze medal match for Team USA's other medal.

Another medal could follow soon. Although he lost in Friday's semifinal, Kyle Dake earned himself a spot in Saturday's men's freestyle 74kg bronze medal match.

With three more gold medals (two on the track, one in weightlifting) on Friday, the United States is up to 33 at these Olympic Games. But China — which won four of their own on Friday — has moved into a tie with the U.S. for most golds.

Behind those two countries, an interesting battle is shaping up for third place in total medals. Great Britain and France have nearly identical medal counts through 14 days — both countries have 14 golds and 20 silvers, but the Brits have one extra bronze (23-22).

Thus far, 87 different delegations have won at least one medal. Singapore got on the board on Day 14 with bronze in men's kiteboarding.
