One of the things we all love about the Olympics is seeing athletes showing off their resilience. We saw a few examples Monday.

Consider Jade Carey. On Sunday, she was distraught after a major mistake on the vault, where she was a strong contender to win. On Monday, she bounced back to win the floor exercise with a score of 14.366, besting Italy's Vanessa Ferrari by 0.166 points. (STORY)

In women's volleyball, the U.S. suffered yet another injury, this time to setter Jordyn Poulter, while falling behind Italy two sets to one. They rallied to win the last two. (STORY)

In the women's 1500m heats, Dutch favorite Sifan Hassan tumbled to the track. She picked herself and saw the pack all the way around the bend from her on the last lap. She turned on the jets and zipped past every the runners who were falling off the pace. Then she caught up with the small bunch of leaders. In the end, she didn't just qualify. She won the heat. (STORY)

Hassan returned for the 5000m just 12 hours after that eventful run. As you might have guessed, she won. (STORY)

And another tale of resilience is developing. Simone Biles plans to come back and compete in Tuesday's balance beam final. (STORY)

One story didn't quite pan out, as the U.S. women's soccer team couldn't overcome an injury to goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, the woman most responsible for getting them through to the semifinals, and lost in the semifinals 1-0 to Canada. (STORY)

On the mat, Adeline Gray took silver in women's 76kg wrestling, and Tamyra Mensah clinched at least a silver as well in the women's 68kg class. (STORY)

The U.S. also took two track and field medals (see below), and Sarah Robles took her second straight bronze medal in 87+kg weightlifting. (STORY)

Track and field

Women's discus: U.S. thrower Valarie Allman took gold on a rain-drenched night at Olympic Stadium. (STORY)

Women's 100m hurdles: The Kentucky Wildcats finished 1-2, and they now hold the Olympic record and world record. Big Blue Nation will have to split its loyalty, as the winner — Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, who set the Olympic record of 12.26 in the semifinals — represents Puerto Rico. Keni Harrison, the American who set the world record of 12.20 in 2016 after missing out on a bid to the Olympics, took silver. (STORY)

Men's long jump: Greek athlete Miltiadis Tentoglou struggled to find his form ... until the last jump, when he seized gold. Juan Miguel Echevarria led Cuba to a 2-3 finish. (STORY)

 

U.S. teams

Women's basketball: France gave the U.S. women a scare then turned into the frightened one. Needing to keep the margin close to clinch a quarterfinal berth, France took the lead in the fourth quarter, only to see the U.S. roar back. In the end, France did just enough to qualify despite losing, and both teams were happy. (STORY)

Beach volleyball: A day after seeing two U.S. teams eliminated, April Ross and Alix Klineman advanced to the quarterfinals (STORY). But they're the last U.S. players standing after Jake Gibb and Tri Bourne lost in the late-night session. (STORY)

Water polo: The U.S. men will play in the quarterfinals, but a 14-5 loss to Greece will not be not a confidence-builder. (STORY)

Table tennis: Kanak Jha got the U.S. men a point with a four-set win, but Sweden eliminated the Americans 3-1 in the round of 16. (STORY)

Baseball: The U.S. baseball team faces a longer road to the medal games after dropping an extra-inning game to Japan. (STORY)

See above for women's volleyball and women's soccer.
