U.S. Athletes Shine at Paris 2024 Olympics

The U.S. women's team won gold in the team pursuit at the Paris 2024 Olympics, narrowly missing the world record due to a dropped rider. Chloé Dygert and Kristen Faulkner, both medalists previously, contributed significantly to the victory. In another highlight, Sam Kendricks claimed a silver medal in the men's pole vault, overcoming a challenging past with a positive COVID-19 test in Tokyo 2021. Sweden's Armand Duplantis broke his own world record to win gold in the same event. Valarie Allman also secured her second straight Olympic title in the discus throw, adding to the U.S. medal tally. These achievements bring the total U.S. medals at the meet to 11, including three golds.
