Paris Olympics highlights: Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky win more gold for Team USA

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.

“I DON’T NEED TO SAY ANY NAMES — THEY KNOW WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT.” The room went silent. Cameras turned to Kayla Nicole — and her Halloween costume was so bold it felt like a declaration of war. No longer the shadowy figure behind the star player. No longer the forgotten past. Kayla walked into the party as if she had just dropped a media bomb on the Travis Kelce – Taylor Swift love story. Every detail of the outfit was a silent slap: subtle, sharp, and ironic to the point that the online community could only say: “She’s sending a message — and it’s not friendly.” Within minutes, social media exploded with controversy, Swifties were outraged, and Kayla’s fans were cheering: “She’s back — and better than ever.” No one expected a Halloween costume to change the global conversation. A twist too big to ignore: Kayla Nicole doesn’t play by the rules anymore — she writes them herself. WATCH MORE BELOW 👇👇👇

“I’M AFRAID THAT ONE MISTAKE… WILL BE THE LAST SHOT.” Taylor Swift — the woman who once brought the world to its feet in the spotlight — now has to hide behind black curtains and be surrounded by security like a head of state. After a series of threats, a stalker at her home, and a political assassination just weeks later, Taylor and Travis Kelce signed an $8 million-a-year deal to ensure she would live, not just perform. At Arrowhead Stadium, she no longer walked like a queen — she moved like a hunted target, through secret tunnels, avoiding all cameras. The Chiefs had to upgrade security, add counter-assault experts, and control the entire VIP area because of one person: Taylor Swift. And the biggest shock? “Taylor no longer feels safe in front of crowds,” an insider revealed. WATCH MORE BELOW 👇👇👇
