It's another big day in track and field. Noah Lyles will be going for the 100-200 double in the 200-meter final. He'll face fellow Americans Kenny Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton and Botswana's Letsile Tebogo.

There was some drama in the 4x100m men's heats, with Jamaica, which typically has some of the strongest sprinters, failing to make the cut after a bungled handover. The U.S. team won its heat.

Meanwhile, USA's Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone will look to defend her gold in the 400 hurdles against Femke Bol of the Netherlands. Team USA's Grant Holloway races in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Tara Davis-Woodhall is among the Americans competing in the women's long jump final.

There are several semifinals. In basketball, the U.S. men will face Serbia. And the Team USA women will play Brazil in volleyball and Australia in water polo.

Raven Saunders' purple and green hair dye was only the second most eye-catching style choice when they lined up for shot put qualification today. Viewers might have been surprised to see Saunders, who goes by they-their pronouns, wearing a black mask that covered them from hairline to jawline, topped off with bronze sunglasses.

But it’s not a first for the American athlete who is known for masks and colorful hairstyles. Saunders, who has been seen wearing masks of "The Hulk" at previous events, has said they can relate to the hero who had difficulty balancing his two sides.

Saunders' long fingernails on their left hand were bedazzled and in Team USA colors and the letters H-U-L-K. Saunders told The Associated Press that turning into "The Hulk" helps them feel like a superhero getting ready to hurl a 8.8-pound hunk of metal. "I had to remind the people, I am who I am," they said.

The 28-year-old American athlete had been vocal about their mental health and LGBTQ rights. After winning silver at the Tokyo Games Saunders crossed their arms in an X shape, which they explained stood for "the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet." Saunders will take part in the women's shot put on Friday.

The U.S. takes the first set in its semifinal match against Brazil.

The Americans took the tight first set by only two points.

Kathryn Plummer might be having a "Jordan-flu game." Despite battling flu-like symptoms and a fever, Plummer delivered the winning point for the U.S. in its first set.

The game is the best three sets out of five. The winner will advance to the finals, playing the winner of the Turkey vs. Italy match.

While visiting "TODAY," Olympian Jordan Chiles shared heartwarming words of encouragement with a young aspiring athlete on the plaza. “Always believe in the power of your dreams.”

China's mission to sweep the golds in diving at these Olympics has continued with their divers taking both gold and silver in the 3-meter springboard event.

The gold, which draws China level with Team USA's gold medal tally of 27, was won by Xie Siyi with silver taken by teammate Wang Zongyuan. An error from Wang in which he slightly over-rotated during the fifth round of dives saw him lose the lead to Xie, who went on to successfully defend his title from the Tokyo Games.

China is now just two events away from sweeping the gold medals in diving. Tomorrow is the women's 3-meter springboard final, while Saturday is the men's 10-meter platform final.

Team USA's Carson Tyler finished 4th with a score of 429.25, though he was some way off Mexico's Osmar Olivera Ibarra, who took bronze with a score of 500.40.

German canoeist Max Rendschmidt has now won every Olympic race he’s competed in since Rio 2016, including heats, according to Paris 2024. Now he has a fourth gold medal to go with the two he won in Rio and the gold he won in Tokyo.

Rendschmidt and the rest of his team crossed the line first in the men’s kayak four. New Zealand won the women’s kayak four, with silver going to Germany, and Hungary taking bronze.

Hao Liu and Bowen Ji of China took gold in the men’s canoe double final. The silver went to Gabriele Casadei and Carlo Tacchini of Italy, with Spain’s Joan Antoni Moreno and Diego Dominguez winning bronze.

A shot of "Triple Espresso" has been just what the U.S. women’s national soccer team needed to put them within one win of their first Olympic gold medal in 12 years.

Star forwards Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith have combined for nine of Team USA’s 10 goals during their run to the Olympic final, where they will face Brazil on Saturday.

"We also have a name for ourselves. We have an announcement," Smith told Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. "Trinity, take it away."

"We have a proposal for our trio name to be 'Triple Espresso.' So we’re going to put that out into the air and let people run with that, because we like that as well," Rodman said.

No word on whether it has anything to do with one of the songs of the summer, Sabrina Carpenter’s "Espresso," but the trio has provided a jolt of energy and youth to a team that won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.

Team USA's Nelly Korda has found her form in the second round of the women's golf competition and now finds herself toward the top of the leaderboard.

After a dismal round saw the defending gold medalist just about par yesterday, she is tied for second at five under par through 12 holes, three shots behind current leader Morgane Metraux of Switzerland.

With Korda's fortunes changing course, overnight leader Celine Boutier's hopes have gone the other way. The French golfer carded a brilliant round of seven under yesterday, but a nightmare round of four-over saw her drop down the leaderboard as she returned to the clubhouse.

Team USA's Lilia Vu has also carded an over-par day. She is now one-under for the tournament and will need a strong performance over the weekend to have any chance of medaling.

Earlier today, Austrians Lara Vadlau and Lukas Maehr took gold in the mixed dinghy after the medal race was inevitably postponed until wind conditions improved. Okada Keiju and Yoshioka Miho of Japan won silver, and Sweden’s Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson won bronze.

In the mixed multihull event, which was rescheduled from yesterday, Italy’s Ruggero Tita and Caterina Marianna Bantio are back-to-back Olympic champions. Silver went to the Argentine crew of Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco, while Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson of New Zealand won the bronze.
