What was your favourite moment during Paris 2024?
Tensions flared during the match between Brazil and Canada at the Olympic Beach Volleyball, but John Lennon's 'Imagine' was the solution.
Italy win gold!!
What a sensational performance from Italy, who beat the US in a dramatic final!
US BASKETBALL IS DEFENDED
The US women's basketball side beat France in a dramatic final that went right to the wire! What a show of elite sport!
As Paris 2024 reaches its conclusion, the focus turns towards the next Games in Los Angeles with a number of changes to the Olympic program.
Five new events will feature at LA28 while a few others have been axed.
Third gold of Paris 2024 for Serbia
Serbia's men's water polo team were crowned Olympic champions, beating Croatia 13-11 with Radoslav Filipovic proving a rock at the back, stopping everything that came his way.
Croatia, winners at London 2012, pick up their third Olympic silver while Team USA claimed bronze.
Denmark's men's handball team repeat Rio feat
Denmark beat Germany 39-26 in the men's handball final Mathias Gidsel contributing 11 goals.
The Danes become the second most successful nation in the event, along with the Soviet Union with two gold medals, just behind France with three.
Jennifer Valente defends her title
Team USA's Jennifer Valente who won gold in Tokyo, won the women's omnium event on 144 points, ahead of Poland's Daria Pikulik, who took silver on 131 points and New Zealand's Ally Wollaston on 125.
Italy too strong the USA
Italy clinched the women's volleyball gold medal after beating Team USA by three sets to zero.
Paola Egonu chipped in with 22 points for her team, finishing as the top scorer and adding another honor to her lengthy list of achievements.
Kagami san brings more joy for Japan
Japan consolidated their position in third on the leaderboard after Kagami Yuka took the women's 76kg freestyle gold medal. That takes Japan's tally to eight golds in wrestling.
She beat USA's Kennedy Blades 3-1, with Milaimy Marín and Tatiana Rentería claiming bronze.
Weightlifting gold for China's Li Wenwen!
The medals are coming seriously thick and incredibly fast all of a sudden. And it's not good news (I presume) for Team USA. China get another gold, moving them onto 40 for the Games, two ahead of the United States. Li Wenwen is the latest recipient in the women's +81kg weightlifting competition.
Park Hyejeong takes silver for South Korea, with Emily Campbell of Great Britain getting a bronze.
Cycling gold for Netherlands's Lavreysen!
Harrie Lavreysenis next to get a gold medal on his bike! The Dutchman has beaten off competition from a couple of Aussies to win the men's keirin.
Matthew Richardson and Matt Glaetzer pick up silver and bronze medals for Australia respectively. But they need a gold or two to get back into third spot in the medal table.
Cycling gold for New Zealand's Andrews!
From the mat to the track and it's a gold for New Zealand! Ellesse Andrews has won the women's sprint, her second gold of the Games! Germany's Lea Friedrich takes the silver, with the bronze going to Emma Finucane of Great Britain.
Wrestling gold for Bahrain's Tazhudinov!
Fancy a bit more wrestling? Of course you do! Akhmed Tazhudinov of Bahrain has won the gold medal in the men's 97kg freestyle, getting a fall against Givi Matcharashvili of Georgia, who takes the silver.
Bronzes for Magomedkhan Magomedov (Azerbaijan) and Amirali Azarpira (Iran).
Japan take third place in medal table
That gold medal in wrestling means Japan are now up into third place in the medal table...provided you rank countries by how many gold medals they have won (which most do).
Wrestling gold for Japan's Kotaro!
Next up, wrestling! Japan's Kiyooka Kitaro has comfortably defeated Rahman Amouzadkhalili of Islamic Republic of Iran 10-3 to claim the gold medal in the men's 65kg freestyle.
As you'll perhaps be aware now, there are two bronzes in wrestling, which go to Sebastian Rivera of Puerto Rico and Albania's Islam Dudaev.
Basketball bronze for Australia!
Ready for a flurry of medals? First up, Australia, who have taken the bronze in basketball! They have sent Belgium down under, winning 85-81. All eyes are now on Team USA against France in the final, which is also the last event of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Team USA underway in women's gold medal volleyball match!
Team USA have their eyes set on a gold medal! There could be one coming in the next couple of hours in women's volleyball, although they'll have to get past Italy to claim it. The Italians have made the better start to the match, though, they're currently 17-12 up in the first set.
Modern pentathlon gold for Hungary's Gulyas!
Hungary have got their hands on a gold medal! And it's Michelle Gulyas' after she triumphed in the modern pentathlon, setting a new world record score to boot! France's Elodie Clouvel takes the silver, with bronze going to Seungmin Seong from South Korea.
Team USA's Chiles loses bronze medal
Team USA gymnast Jordan Chiles will lose her bronze medal in the women’s artistic gymnastics floor exercise competition, the IOC have confirmed. The American originally finished fifth in the event but was bumped up to third after her coach submitted an inquiry, leading to her score being raised. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled the inquiry was filed after the one-minute deadline, which will now see the original result stand.
Romania's Ana Barbosu will now get the bronze. That's a sore one for Chiles, to say the least.
Sticking with women's basketball, the USWBNT are firm favourites to defeat France on Sunday and claim another gold medal for Team USA. Here's a closer look at their overall record in the Olympics which, I'm sure you'll agree, is absolutely incredible.
Australia lead Belgium in basketball bronze game
It's halftime in the bronze medal match in women's basketball, and Australia are in front...but only just! It's 37-36 to the Aussies midway through the contest, which could quite clearly still go either way.
That's the first time I've had to update the medal table at the top of this feed today, and that water polo bronze extends Team USA's lead in terms of total medals. But does that actually matter? Or is it all about golds? And what happens when teams are tied? So many questions.
Water polo bronze medal for Team USA!
Team USA has its first medal of the day! And it's come in dramatic fashion in men's water polo! After an 8-8 draw against Hungary, the United States kept their nerve to win a penalty shootout, securing their first water polo medal since 2008!
Serbia take on Croatia for gold a little later.
Team USA's Valente wins women’s omnium scratch race!
Unfortunately for Team USA's Jennifer Valente, winning the omnium scatch race in cycling doesn't mean a medal, but it does mean a strong start to the omnium event, which has three more events to come. She won gold in the event in 2020 (2021), could another one follow?
If you missed yesterday's men's basketball final between Team USA and France (we're fairly sure you didn't), here's how that went down. A pretty close affair across all four quarters, but the United States, inspired by the brilliant Steph Curry, were just too strong.
Team USA going for gold in women's basketball
There have been women's basketball at each of the last 12 Olympic Games (since 1976) and Team USA have won gold medals nine times. One of the times they didn't win was in 1980, when the US led a number of countries in boycotting the Games in Moscow following the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. So, really, they've won nine out of 11. Can they make it 10 out of 12 later today (9.30am ET) in the last event of the Olympics against host nation France? You'd think they would...

Spain win bronze medal in men’s handball!
For the fifth time at the Olympic Games (which feels like a lot), Spain have won the bronze medal in the men's handball tournament! In an incredibly close match against Slovenia, they came out on top 23-22 to finish third.
Germany take on Denmark for gold a little later on today (7:30 ET).
Team USA's Lindwurm finishes 12th
Team USA's Dakotah Lindwurm, who briefly led the race around the halfway point, finishes in 12th place, 3:49 behind winner Hassan. And she looks absolutely delighted with herself, as she should.
Netherlands' Sifan Hassan wins women's marathon!
It's gold for the Netherlands in the women's marathon! The first of the day! And what a finish it was! Five women were in the hunt with just a couple of miles to go, until Sifan Hassan and Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia pulled away right at the end. The two almost bundled each other into the barriers at one point, but they managed to stay on their feet, with the Dutchwoman prevailing in a head-to-head sprint (of sorts), winning with a new Olympic record of 2:22:55.
Bronze goes to Kenya’s Hellen Obiri.
Team USA gold medalist Wilson going back to school
Quincy Wilson was part of United States team that won the gold medal in Saturday's 4x400m relay. But the runner has reminded us all of just how young he is on social media. The 16-year-old, who was born in January 2008, has to go back to school in two-and-a-half weeks! Talk about coming back down to earth with a bang...
Who will win the women's marathon?
It looks as if it's down to five women! Two Ethiopians, two Kenyans and one Dutchman make up the five-woman lead group. Just over 5km to go!
Bad news for Team USA in women's marathon
I hate being the bearer of bad news, Team USA fans, but things have gone south in the women's marathon. Dakotah Lindwurm, who briefly led the race about 20 minutes ago, is now nowhere to be seen at the front. And fellow American Fiona O'Keefe has withdrawn having been limping from almost the very start of the race.
Lindwurm drops off the pace in women's marathon
Apologies if I got your hopes up, Team USA fans. This was the lead Dakotah Lindwurm had a few minutes back. However, she's one of a number of runners that have run into trouble on a massively steep uphill section and has dropped back quite a bit. Maybe she can find a second wind, who knows?
Men's handball bronze medal match underway!
I'll keep you up to speed with how Lindwurm is getting on, but for now, our second event of the day is underway! It's Spain vs Slovenia in the bronze medal match in men's handball. It won't have much of an effect on the medal table, but medals are medals and we need to enjoy every last drop of Olympic goodness!
USA's Dakotah Lindwurm takes women's marathon lead!
No sooner had I posted that last message, than Team USA's Dakotah Lindwurm went off the front of the pack! She has opened up a little gap, although it looks as if she might have some company soon.
Team USA's Lindwurm going strong in women's marathon
Could a gold medal come for Team USA in the women's marathon? Maybe! Dakotah Lindwurm was part of the 15 woman group at the top, looked to have dropped off the pace slightly, but then made her way back into contention. We're a little more than halfway through.
Team USA medal prospects on day 16
If you're wondering where Team USA's gold medals are likely to come from on the final day of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, here's a handy little table put together by Sports Illustrated writer Mitch Goldich. There are some obvious events, such as the women's volleyball and basketball gold medal matches, but could the likes of Kennedy Blades (wrestling) or Jennifer Valente (track cycling) take individual golds to add to the American tally?
If you do happen to have stayed up late and fancy watching the conclusion of the women's marathon at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, then you're in luck! Here's how viewers in the United States can catch the action. A little more than 90 minutes still to go on the streets of the French capital, in all likelihood.
To make sure you don't miss anything or get any of your times mixed up, we suggest opening this page and keeping it open all day. How could anything possibly go wrong?
High medals-to-event ratio on final day
Unlike previous days at the 2024 Olympic Games, almost every event today is a medal event, as you might've worked out from the full schedule below. There's the odd track cycling quarterfinal and semifinal, which obviously precede the final, thrown in there, along with a 5th/6th water polo men's classification game, which I'm not convinced anyone really cares about (it's Greece vs Spain, in case I'm wrong).

Going for gold on Sunday, August 11
On the last day of the Olympics, there's a reduced schedule, with the majority of the action taking place early in the day in Paris (and in the relatively early hours of the morning across much of the United States). Let's hope you've set your alarms!
There are 17 medal events taking place, the first of which is the women's marathon (which has just got underway), while the women's basketball final between Team USA and France (9:30am ET) closes out the action (don't forget about the closing ceremony, though).
Hello and welcome to day 16 of the 2024 Olympics!
Hello and welcome to AS USA's live medal tracker for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Sunday, August 11. Today is day 16, which is sadly the last day of action in the French capital.
Follow along with the action and stay up to do date with who's at the top of the tree for gold medals.
