USA now second in medal table
Kate Douglass' swimming gold had already taken Team USA into second in the medal table, with the Stars and Stripes edging out France and Japan by virtue of having more silvers.

Australian swimming coach doubts Pan Zhanle's 100m freestyle world record
Australian swimming coach Brett Hawke has questioned the validity of the new 100m freestyle world record set by China's Pan Zhanle on Wednesday.
Zhanle set a new WR of 46.40, slicing 0.4 second off his own previous world record, set at the World Championships in February. But Hawke, a former swimmer himself who has spent over three decades coaching professionals and Olympic swimmers, is not convinced.
"I'm just going to be honest, I am angry at that swim. I'm angry for a number of reasons. Look my friends are the fastest swimmers in history from Rowdy Gaines to Alex Popov to Gary Hall Jr, Anthony Irvin and all the way up to King Kyle Chalmers. I know these people intimately, I've studied them for 30 years," he posted on social media.
"I'm upset right now because you don't win 100 freestyle by a body length on that field. You just don't do it. It is not humanly possible to beat that field by a body length. That's not real, you don't beat that field. Kyle Chalmers, David Popovici, Jack Alexy, you don't beat those guys by one full body length in 100 freestyle. That's not humanly possible okay so don't sell it to me, don't shove it down my throat. It's not real".
Sha’Carri Richardson finally makes her Olympic debut in the women’s 100m heats on Friday and could also be involved in the 4x100m relay, which starts on 8 August.
She clocked 10.71 at this year’s US trials and with a personal best of 10.65 set at last year’s World Championships, Sha’Carri is in with a strong chance of picking up a medal in Paris.

Rowing gold for Team USA
More "wows!" on the water. Team USA hold on to beat the New Zealand rowers by 0.15 seconds in the men's four.

China's Yang Jiayu takes 20km women's walk gold
