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.

The Americans didn't get out of group play and suffered a tournament-ending 21-6 loss to the Netherlands, landing them in seventh place among eight squads. Fredette said he tore two ligaments in his adductor in his second game in Paris, a loss to Poland.

Team USA's Noah Lyles took the gold in the men’s 100-meter final at the Paris Olympics — by five-thousandths of a second. Lyles, who won Sunday with a time of 9.784 seconds, came out just barely ahead of Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson (who ran in 9.789) and the U.S.’ Fred Kerley (whose time was 9.81). It raises the question: Which part of the body must cross the finish line first to earn the win? According to Olympic rules and regulations, the first athlete whose torso reaches the closest edge of the finish line is the winner. That is what earned Lyles the gold and the title of world's fastest man even though some viewers online noted that several other athletes' shoes reached the finish line first.

Stocks had a rough week, topped off with a pummeling Friday after the July jobs data came in weaker than expected. Until then, bad economic news was good news for the stock market, because it meant the Federal Reserve would start cutting interest rates sooner. On Thursday, a drop in U.S. manufacturing activity for July and a jump in initial jobless claims dragged down the market. Next week is light on economic data, so expect earnings reports and CEO commentaries to drive the market action.
