Despite being disqualified from the gold medal match just hours after she made Olympic history, Vinesh Phogat is still being hailed by many online for her bravery and resilience. The wrestler from Team India, who on Tuesday became the first woman from her country to make the Olympic finals, will not be participating in the women’s wrestling 50kg gold-medal match due to being "a few grams" over the weight class, according to the Indian Olympic Association. The Indian Olympic Association didn’t elaborate on the matter and requested privacy for Phogat. In a January 2023 letter, the group accused Singh of sexual harassment against several young female wrestlers. Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat is detained by the police while attempting to march to India's new parliament in New Delhi on May 28, 2023.

And not just any Olympic champion; Mirosław became the first-ever gold medalist in the sport of speed climbing on Wednesday, defeating China’s Deng Lijuan in the final. The format has changed in Paris, with speed climbing now awarded its own set of medals. Despite her superiority in speed climbing, setting a world record in the final, she finished fourth in Tokyo, just outside of the medals. “Lead climbing and bouldering, it’s completely different to speed climbing. “It means a lot, the first time for speed climbing and also for me here in the discipline,” said Mirosław.

MyKayla Skinner posted a video to Instagram on Tuesday calling on Simone Biles to stop her 11.8 million followers from “cyberbullying” her after Biles appeared to clapback at comments by Skinner. “To Simone, I am asking you directly and publicly to please put a stop to this," Skinner said in Tuesday's video. A few days after her comments in June, Skinner posted an apology on social media. After Biles' Instagram post last week, Skinner reportedly blocked the 11-time Olympic medalist on social media, according to an Instagram story posted by Chiles and a post on X by Biles. The edited photo implied that Skinner should have made the 2016 U.S. Olympic team over Douglas, who became the first Black Olympic all-around champion in 2012.

Simone Biles said she closed her time at the Paris Olympics "bawling my eyes out" to her teammates, after a glorious run where the 27-year-old superstar secured four medals — three gold and one silver. She bowed out of the Olympics Monday after winning silver in the women’s floor exercise final following multiple penalties, and after falling on the balance beam. Speaking on how she felt ending her stint at the world's greatest competition stage, the 11-time Olympic medalist said it hasn't quite sunk in. For him, it meant the world to him because he’s seen the amount of hours that I’ve put in. Instead, she simply wants to be remembered as “someone who loved the sport, had fun doing it and was just authentically herself.”

He said he tried to respond, but ran out of gas – 1500 meters had proven “just 100 meters too much.”“I ruined it for myself by going way too hard,” he said.

One of the two female boxers at the center of an Olympic gender controversy pleaded with the public to “avoid bullying all athletes” Sunday night. The association alleged that the women failed to pass unspecified gender tests that found they had male chromosomes. The International Boxing Association, whose president is Umar Kremlev of Russia, reportedly an acquaintance of President Vladimir Putin, has had its legitimacy scrutinized in recent years. (In Olympic boxing, there are no third-place matches, so two bronze medals are awarded to the semifinal losers.)

She has won three medals at the Paris Games and is aiming for a fourth, on balance beam. Lee, now 21, entered the Tokyo Olympics as a strong contender for a gold medal on uneven bars, and perhaps silver in the all-around, behind Simone Biles. But when Biles’s late withdrawal created a spot, Lee capitalized with a strong, steady performance to win the all-around gold, the most coveted title in gymnastics. She was frustrated that, after securing bronze on bars, she did not win the title she had aimed to win. By the time the Olympic trials ended in June, Lee was the second-best all-around gymnast competing, behind only Biles.

PARIS — Bold-talking American sprinting star Noah Lyles arrived at the Paris Olympics announcing his intentions of leaving with four gold medals. The 27-year-old from Virginia won his first Olympic gold medal Sunday by bolting to the 100-meter title in a personal-best 9.79 seconds in front of a deafening, sold-out Stade de France crowd. Lyles froze when it showed he had prevailed by one of the narrowest margins — five-thousandths of a second. Lyles is the first American to win the Olympic 100-meter since 2004. By the finish time, it was one of the hardest gold medals to earn, too.

By the time the Olympic trials ended in June, Lee was the second-best all-around gymnast competing, behind only Biles.

Sunisa Lee, the all-around champion from the Tokyo Olympics, is the only American in the final of the uneven bars on Sunday, giving her a chance to win the gold medal after leaving Tokyo with the bronze three years ago. She nearly had her U.S. teammate Simone Biles joining her in the final, but only eight gymnasts qualified for the even, and Biles, whose weakest event is the uneven bars, finished ninth. Lee was in tears in Tokyo because she had come to win gold on the bars, her signature event. This time around, Lee — who has made a comeback after being diagnosed with two kidney diseases less than two years ago — might not win gold, either, but for different reasons. Qiu Qiyuan of China — the 2023 world champion on the uneven bars — was second, with 15.066.
