The final Friday of the 2024 Olympics brings key knockout rounds for some of Team USA’s top squads, and Sha’Carri Richardson takes the track for the last time in Paris.
U.S. women’s basketball defeated Australia in its semifinal, moving on to the gold medal match for the eighth straight time. The team has dominated at the Olympics so far, winning each game by double digits.
On the track, the men’s and women’s 4×100 relay teams competed in the finals. The women’s team raced first, winning gold in the race led by an anchor leg from Sha’Carri Richardson. The men’s team were disqualified due to passing the baton outside the “takeover zone” as Canada took home the gold. Later in the day, Rai Benjamin will look for his first Olympic gold medal in the 400m men’s hurdles.
Here is Friday’s full schedule.
