Lily Zhang and three teammates from the United States table tennis team were hanging out on a large boat last Friday, making small talk with the N.B.A. star Stephen Curry — as one does at an Olympic opening ceremony — when he asked what sport they played. Moments later, the four table tennis players found themselves engaged in a brief but spirited debate with Curry and his teammate Anthony Edwards about whether Edwards, one of basketball’s brightest young talents, could notch a point against them on the table. On one hand, the table tennis players said, it was one of those extraordinary, and extraordinarily funny, interactions that can happen only at the Olympics. On the other hand, they said, they have interactions like this all the time.

Sven Hoppe/dpa/picture alliance/Getty ImagesThe men’s individual triathlon race at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has been postponed to Wednesday due to poor water quality levels in the River Seine, World Triathlon has announced. Originally scheduled for Tuesday, the World Triathlon, its medical team, the International Olympic Committee, and city officials decided to postpone the men’s race. “Paris 2024 and World Triathlon reiterate that their priority is the health of the athletes. The tests carried out in Seine today revealed water quality levels that did not provide sufficient guarantees to allow the event to be held,” the sport’s governing body said. If the water levels don’t improve by Wednesday, the original contingency date remains in place for Friday, August 2.

Olympics organizers postponed the men’s individual triathlon race that had been scheduled for Tuesday morning, saying water-quality tests had shown that the Seine, the river that traverses Paris, was unsafe to swim in. The race will now be held on Wednesday morning, after the end of the women’s triathlon, the sport’s governing body, World Triathlon, said in a statement early Tuesday. “The tests carried out in the Seine today revealed water quality levels that did not provide sufficient guarantees to allow the event to be held,” the organization said, adding that the race could be further rescheduled. The Olympics’ official website said only that the men’s individual race had been rescheduled, citing “weather.”

The American stealing the show at the Paris Olympics is Flavor Flav. The 65-year-old performer, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., has been a fixture at the 2024 games thanks to his partnership with USA Water Polo. The Public Enemy rapper has embraced his new role as "official hype man" of the women's team, appearing poolside at the team's matches wearing a water polo cap and Team USA branded waterproof clock necklace. "By sponsoring a water polo team and helping these girls out, this is bigger than me winning a Grammy." In a comment on the post, Flavor Flav committed his support to the team that has won gold for the past three Olympics.

Paris CNN —Days before taking part in the Paris Olympics, Tom Daley already felt like he had won a gold medal, such was his joy at having his kids at the competition with him. On Monday, the British diver got his hands on an actual medal, too, winning silver alongside partner Noah Williams in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform. That marked the fourth medal of Daley’s long Olympic career, dating all the way back to the Beijing Games in 2008 when he competed as a fresh-faced 14-year-old. “It’s the happiest I’ve been in diving in all these years because diving wasn’t necessarily my top priority,” he told reporters. The silver medal adds to the gold and two bronzes that Daley already owns, but the 30-year-old has many titles besides Olympic medal winner.

“Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, you can’t prepare for game day on game day,” he said. This awareness helps you make better choices on game day. “For someone who has not participated in any sporting activity for quite some time, it’s crucial to start safely and effectively,” he noted, not waiting until game day to get going again. For instance, if you want to get back into playing golf, tennis or any other rotational sport, focus on mobility exercises that will improve rotation. Instead, focus on targeted strength and mobility exercises that promote control in end ranges of motion.

Kate Douglass, a statistics graduate student and the second-fastest swimmer in the world this year in two Olympic swimming events, has always been good with numbers. But before she enrolled at the University of Virginia, she never considered that swimming itself was a math problem that she could try to solve. That changed when she realized the concepts she was studying in the classroom could be used in her sport. These days, Douglass often gets into the pool while wearing a belt that holds an accelerometer, the same device found in smartphones and fitness watches. So far, so good: On Saturday, she began a busy Olympics schedule by winning a silver medal in the 4x100 freestyle relay.

Olha Kharlan of Ukraine shouted in celebration under the vaulted glass dome of the Grand Palais on Monday, after an early round victory in her pursuit of a fifth career Olympic medal in saber fencing. She had reached the semifinals by Monday afternoon. But her mere presence confirmed that this niche sport, perhaps more than any other, illustrates the acrimony and caustic feuding that have resulted from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Kharlan, 33, was disqualified from the World Fencing Championships last summer for refusing to shake hands with her Russian opponent. But Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee and himself a 1976 Olympic fencing champion, gave Kharlan an exemption to participate in the Paris Games, citing her “unique situation.”

Still, as the U.S. men’s team starts its Olympic run Sunday, it begins with a roster that has drawn countless comparisons to the Dream Team. On paper, the U.S. men’s team is arguably the best team assembled since 1992. Durant is the most prolific scorer in U.S. men’s history and could, if the Americans win gold in Paris, become the most decorated Olympic men’s basketball player. A loss in the knockout stages, when there are no more second chances, and a Dream Team redux becomes a historic nightmare.
