It's been almost two decades since the Americans secured a medal in men's team gymnastics, but it looks as though they could be in line for a long-lasting period of success in the future if athletes like Frederick Richard remain part of the setup.
Rowing gold for British women
The medals are starting to fly in today. No sooner have the Netherlands won gold than they've been pipped to it by a late surge from the British women.
Rowers Lauren Henry, Hannah Scott, Lola Anderson, and Georgina Brayshaw take the Olympic gold in the women's quad sculls over the Dutch by .15 of a second.
Germany take the bronze.

19 seconds in 92 years
That's right. As we look ahead to the final later today, our friends at the Olympics have shared this lovely split screen footage of the women's 100m freestyle finals of 1928 and 2020.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that today's winning time – and last place's time, to be honest – will be somewhat closer to that of Tokyo.

Olympics from space
Even the NASA crew are in the Olympics mood up above us in the International Space Station. Imagine Simone Biles could perform with zero gravity. I'd pay plenty to see that!

One of the biggest headlines from yesterday's action was the gold won by Team USA in the women's gymnastics. Simone Biles led the way and with that medal made history.
