Published

The Paris Olympics rolled on Saturday with some of Team USA’s biggest names winning gold to cement their legacies as all-time greats.

 

 

Gymnast Simone Biles took gold in the women’s all-around for the second time in her career, her seventh gold and 10th medal overall. And she’s not ruling out competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

In the pool, Katie Ledecky won her fourth consecutive Olympic gold in the 800-meter freestyle, completing her week with her fourth medal in Paris and 14th in her Olympic career. In track, American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson won silver in the 100, losing out to Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred – who claimed her country’s first-ever Olympic medal.

Elsewhere, the U.S. women’s soccer team advanced to the semifinals with an extra-time win over Japan and the men’s basketball team routed Puerto Rico.

NANTERRE, France — Relays at the Paris Olympics have galvanized the crowd at Paris La Défense Arena, and Saturday’s mixed 4×100-meter medley relay was no different, as the United States stormed ahead to win gold.

Katie Ledecky wins gold in 800-meter freestyle
NANTERRE, France —Katie Ledecky, the greatest female swimmer of all time, won her fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle Saturday night, completing her week with her fourth medal in Paris and 14th in her Olympic career.

Ledecky’s time of 8:11.04 defeated Australian Ariarne Titmus. American Paige Madden took the bronze.

This was a victory of the moment, but also one 12 years in the making. Ledecky first won the Olympic 800 in a big surprise as a 15-year-old water bug in London in 2012. She won it by a mile in Rio in 2016. She held off Titmus to win it again in Tokyo in 2021. And now this, the four-peat, the first time a woman has won any swimming race in four consecutive Olympics.
