Sprinter Noah Lyles disclosed he tested positive for COVID-19 after finishing third in the men's 100 meters at the Paris Olympics, affecting his performance despite being cleared to compete. French basketball player Victor Wembanyama propelled his team to a 73-69 victory over Germany, setting up a final against the United States, who narrowly defeated Serbia 95-91. Lyles expressed that the virus impacted his race, as medics assisted him post-event and he appeared fatigued. Meanwhile, the U.S. Olympic team celebrated reaching a milestone of 103 overall medals, including 30 golds, with standout performances from LeBron James and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who broke her own world record in the women's 400 hurdles. The upcoming basketball final will be a rematch of the Tokyo 2020 final, where the U.S. triumphed. Overall, the U.S. squad continues to dominate the medal count in the ongoing games.
