In a series of stunning athletic achievements, the Paris Olympics saw Canada's Ethan Katzberg secure gold in men's hammer throw, solidifying his status as a top contender in the field. Katzberg's throw of 84.12 meters left his competitors trailing.

In sprinting, Noah Lyles made headlines by winning the closest-ever Olympic 100 metres final, conquering Kishane Thompson with a record-equalling time of 9.79 seconds, separated by mere thousandths of a second.

The U.S. swimming team returned to prominence with Bobby Finke breaking a 12-year-old record in the 1,500m freestyle and the women's medley relay team setting a new world record. American cyclists also had their moment, as Kristen Faulkner triumphed in the women's road race.
