That took superhuman powers.

Ruth Jebet won Bahrain’s first-ever Olympic gold medal with victory in the 3,000 meters steeplechase.

The U.S. women’s field hockey team is facing Germany in a quarterfinal match. “(The save) showed the strength of character. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled early Monday that Darya Klishina is eligible to take part in Tuesday’s long jump qualifying because she has been based outside of Russian Federation for the last three years and has been subjected to regular drug testing. After already showing as a strong force in the olympics, U.S. gymnastics medaled in three of the four events of the day. Regardless of which team that is – and it could be 2008 and 2012 Olympic silver medalist Spain – the USA will need to play better if it wants to win its third consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Simone Biles has continued to add to her long list of accomplishments at the 2016 Rio Games, earning the bronze medal on the balance beam on Monday. It was enough to leave the door open for Wevers and Hernandez, who were yet to come.

After proving he’s still the world’s fastest by taking gold in the men’s 100 meter, Usain Bolt continues his pursuit to win gold in three events across three Olympic games as he participates in a 200 meter heat. When the judges posted a different one, she appealed.

“I think you celebrate after your scores comes up and you get the medal”. “I can be disappointed about that but I can’t be disappointed with the gold”.

Biles can still join Ecaterina Szabo (1984), Vera Caslavska (1968) and Larisa Latynina (1956) as a four-time gold medalist with Tuesday’s floor final. In the evening, we’ll have finals in the women’s 1,500, men’s 110 hurdles and men’s high jump.

Biles lost her status as Rio de Janeiro’s juggernaut after a blunder on the balance beam prevented her from a record-tying fourth gold in gymnastics at these games.

“I feel like I’m better than I am in 2012, so I’m very proud of that”, Raisman, 22, said. “The drive for five wasn’t a big thing in her mind… she hasn’t said anything about it”.

Her medal was one of three won by American gymnasts Sunday.

“There is a lot of satisfaction that I have winning gold on vault finally”, Biles said. “The floor always pumps me up”, said the ten-time world champion. “She deserves it more than anyone”. Biles then awaited her score: a 14.733 – in first place, but not by much.

Chusovitina botched her landing and wound up in seventh place.

Little did you know – OK, maybe you did – but beach volleyball is one of the best parties in Rio.

The approach worked, and Biles – as well as Boorman – were there to hug Hernandez, as well.

Brazilian duo Diego Hypolito (15.533) and Arthur Mariano (15.433) won silver and bronze respectively to the delight of the home crowd in the Rio Olympic Arena. “She proved my feeling that she is world-class, especially on the beam”.

“She may have been writing down her start score”, he said.
