The penultimate Friday of the 2024 Olympics features important knockout rounds for some of Team USA’s top squads, as Sha’Carri Richardson takes the track for the final time in Paris. The United States women’s basketball team will meet Australia in the semifinals, seeking for a chance to advance to the gold medal match for the eighth consecutive time. So far, the team has dominated the Olympics, winning all of its games by double digits.
In the pool, the United States men’s water polo team will face Serbia in the semifinals. It is the first time the United States has reached the men’s water polo semifinals at an Olympic Games since 2008. Serbia has won back-to-back gold medals in the event and is attempting to become only the third men’s team to win three in a row.
On the track, the men’s and women’s 4×100 relay teams will participate in the final. It is Richardson’s final opportunity to add to her medal count at the 2024 Paris Games.
