Thanks to women's cycling and a speedy Quincy Hall, the United States has retained its medal leads at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

After inching ahead of China in the gold count on Tuesday, Team USA continued stacking the hardware on Day 12.

In addition to those top honors, other U.S. medalists included park skateboarder Tom Schaar, pole vaulter Katie Moon, weightlifter Hampton Morris and the artistic swimming team.

Beyond the U.S. lens, Polish speed climber Aleksandra Miroslaw closed an impressive stretch in Paris with gold.

U.S. cyclist Kristen Faulkner earned gold in the road race a few days ago, and she's headed home with another medal.

This time around, it was Team USA, quite literally.

Faulkner combined with Chloe Dygert—a bronze medalist in the individual time trial earlier in the Games—Jennifer Valente and Lily Williams to win team pursuit. The quartet bested New Zealand in a dramatic race for gold, winning by a razor-thin margin of 0.621 seconds.

Despite not being viewed as a top contender, the U.S. continued its streak of medaling in the now-four Olympic schedules with the event. This was, however, the program's first gold.

Great Britain rounded out the team pursuit podium after it defeated the Italian team for bronze.

As owner of both the Olympic and world records, Aleksandra Miroslaw headed to Paris as a clear favorite in speed climbing.

And the Polish star never provided room for an upset.

During the preliminary rounds, she broke her world record with a sizzling 6.06-second climb. Miroslaw posted the overall fastest time in each knockout stage, capping her overpowering stretch with a 6.10-second surge to secure the first-ever Olympic gold awarded in the event.

Miroslaw added to her impressive collection of medals that already included two golds at both European and world championships.

China's Deng Lijuan took silver, while Miroslaw's countrywoman Alexsandra Kalucka left with bronze.

Team USA boasted three of the eight finalists in the men's 400-meter, and their collective chances didn't look good.

Quincy Hall looked visibly pained around the final turn as teammates Michael Norman and Chris Bailey had started to fade. It seemed the Americans would end the race entirely off the podium.

And then, Hall unleashed a furious rally.

In the final 100 meters, he passed three competitors and clipped Great Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith for gold. Hall ran a personal-best time of 43.40 seconds ahead of Hudson-Smith's 43.44.

Muzala Samukonga secured the bronze for Zambia.
