Summer Olympics

Scottie Scheffler can now add Olympic Gold to his growing trophy case.

The American golfer took home the gold in the Olympic Men's Golf Competition after shooting a 62 on the final day of play.

The 62 on the final day tied the course record at Le Golf National and allowed him to enter the clubhouse with a lead. The victory was solidified after a tying bid from Tommy Fleetwood's came up just a bit wide.

Fleetwood would settle for the silver medal while Hideki Matsuyama would earn bronze.

Here is a look at the final leaderboard.

1. Scottie Scheffler, -19, Gold

2. Tommy Fleetwood, -18, Silver

3. Hideki Matsuyama, -17 Bronze

4. Victor Perez, -16

T5. Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, -15

7. Nicolai Hojgaard, -14

8. Tom Kim, -13

T9. Corey Connors, Jason Day, Joaquin Niemann, Thomas Detry and Xander Schauffele, -12

Scheffler's win give the U.S. its second consecutive gold medal at the Olympic golf tournament. Xander Schauffele won gold at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

The path to gold was not clear for Scheffler, as Spain's Jon Rahm held a four-stroke lead over the competition during the final round and Scheffler would complete a six-stroke comeback in order to secure gold.

Scheffler becomes the first golfer to win the green jacket at The Masters and a gold medal at Olympics in the same year, per the NBC broadcast.

He will hope to carry the momentum from Paris into the remainder of the PGA year as he looks to earn his first FedEx Cup Championship.

Carlos Edriel Yulo's historic 2024 Paris Olympics run for the Philippines continued Sunday in the men's vault final.

Less than 24 hours after his championship floor routine made him the first male Olympic champion in Filipino history, Yulo won the vault competition with an average score of 15.116.

Here are the scores from Sunday's final.

Men's vault final results

1. Carlos Edriel Yulo, Philippines: 15.116
   
2. Artur Davtyan, Armenia: 14.966
   
3. Harry Hepworth, Great Britain: 14.949
   
4. Jake Jarman, Great Britain: 14.933
   
5. Aurel Benovic, Croatia: 14.900
   
6. Nazar Chepurnyi, Ukraine: 14.899
   
7. Mahdi Olfati, Iran: 14.266
   
8. Igor Radivilov, Ukraine: 14.166

Yulo finished atop the rankings after scoring 15.433 on his first jump, followed by a 14.800 on his second.

This is becoming a breakout Olympics for Yulo, who made his Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021 but finished 0.017 points shy of a bronze medal in the vault competition.

Yulo wasn't the only gymnast who made history for his country during Sunday's vault final.

Artur Davtyan won Armenia's first medal of the 2024 Games with twin scores of 14.966. He also earned a spot on the podium in Tokyo, where he earned bronze to edge Yulo off the podium in 2021.

Great Britain's Harry Hepworth meanwhile marked a 14.833 on his first vault, followed by a 15.066 on his second leap, to earn his country's first Olympic medal in the men's vault competition. This honor was Hepworth's first medal in the 20-year-old's Olympic debut.

Jake Jarman, also representing Team Great Britain, remained in bronze medal position until Devtyan knocked him off the podium with the last vault of the day.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's Olympic title defense is on.

The fastest woman to ever run the 400 meter hurdles dominated her qualifying heat Sunday to clinch a spot in the semifinals at the 2024 Paris Games.

McLaughlin-Levrone marked a time of 53.60 to win by more than a full second over the next closest competitor, Morocco's Noura Ennadi.

The full list of qualifiers who will be joining McLaughlin-Levrone in the semifinal is below.

400m women's hurdles semifinal qualifiers

McLaughlin-Levrone's heat win may have appeared effortless, but the 2020 Tokyo gold medalist and Olympics world record holder will have steep competition going forward.

Dutch sprinter Femke Bol, who on Saturday put up a gold medal-worthy anchor run in the 4x400m mixed relay, led the qualifying field with a time of 53.38.

Bol finished a full second behind McLaughlin-Levrone back in 2022 when she became the first woman in the world to run the 400m hurdles in fewer than 51 seconds with a time of 50.68.

McLaughlin-Levrone then went on to break her own record with a 50.65-second run at Olympic trials.

Meanwhile Bol, who holds the 400m world indoor record, has since cut down her best time on the hurdles to join McLaughlin-Levrone in the sub-51 second club at 50.95 seconds.

McLaughlin-Levrone may have to challenge her own record once again in order to keep Bol at bay in the final.

Athletes who fell short of qualifying will get another chance 400m hurdles repechage round Monday at 4:50pm ET.

McLaughlin-Levrone will race again in the semifinals Tuesday at 2:07pm ET with hopes of qualifying for the finals Thursday at 3:25pm ET. All races can be watched on NBC/Peacock.

In between the strain and seriousness that comes with competing in the Olympics, LeBron James is making sure he cuts loose every now and then.

During Team USA's win over Puerto Rico on Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers star was seen dancing to Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me Maybe" during a break in the action.

James' teammates seemed too locked in to join him, but that didn't stop him from having some fun.

James and the rest of Team USA enjoyed a comfortable 104-83 win against Puerto Rico in the final game of the group stages, and they'll now move on to the quarterfinal undefeated, where they will face Brazil.

James, a Team USA veteran, had 10 points, eight assists and six boards in the win while playing just 18 minutes. Minnesota Timberwolves star Antony Edwards led the way for Team USA, putting up 26 points in just 17 minutes.

Now on to the quarterfinal, Team USA will look to stay perfect in Olympic play as it chases another gold. The United States has won four straight golds since placing third in Athens in 2004, and it will look to continue that tradition of excellence this year.

Every four years, the Olympics take the world by storm and fans watch for days as the greatest athletes in the world compete against one another.

Nobody can resist tuning into the exciting events, and sometimes that means pausing a concert to watch the games.

That's exactly what Adele did on Saturday. The pop star halted her concert in Munich to show the women's 100-meter final on the big screen in front of thousands of fans.

Saturday's 100-meter final saw Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred win gold after a dominant performance in which she ran a national record time of 10.72. The United States' Sha'Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson earned silver and bronze with times of 10.87 and 10.92, respectively.

Alfred's gold was the first Olympic medal ever for Saint Lucia, a Caribbean island nation with a population of just 179,857.

"It means a lot to me," Alfred said after the win, per USA Today's Tyler Dragon. "I definitely knew that Saint Lucians would be watching and hoping that they would get their first Olympic gold medal and first Olympic medal. And it came as a gold. I'm sure they are celebrating right now."

While Richardson couldn't win her first gold on Saturday, she'll have another chance next week in the 4x100-meter relay on Friday.

Simone Biles left the door cracked open ever so slightly when it came to her potential participation in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

"Never say never," she said. "Next Olympics are at home. So you just never know. I am getting really old."

Biles remains the best gymnast in the world. She has added three gold medals to her Olympic haul so far, helping Team USA win the team competition before taking down the field in the all-around and vault events.

This comes after Biles won gold in the team, all-around, balance beam and floor exercise events in the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

As great as she still is, though, we can probably rule her out for the 2028 Summer Games already if she isn't going to do it herself.

Gymnastics are unforgiving physically and not a sport that lends itself to having a long run at the highest level.

At 27, Biles became the second-oldest women's all-around winner in Olympic history and the oldest since the Soviet Union's Maria Gorokhovskaya earned gold in the 1952 Summer Games when she was 30.

By her own admission, the Texas native is "getting old" relative to her peers now and she'll be into her 30s at the next Olympics.

The allure of competing on home soil in four years will be tempting. The 1996 Summer Games were the last time the United States served as the host country, and it's anybody's guess when the quadrennial showcase will head to the U.S. again.

Putting in the work required to compete in the 2028 Olympics may be much less attractive for Biles, though.

Not to mention, walking away after the Paris Games allows her to put a storybook ending on her Olympic career.

Chase Budinger and Miles Evans live to fight another day at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The American pair beat Australia's Thomas Hodges and Zachery Schubert in straight sets in Saturday's "lucky loser" match to advance to the knockout stage. They're the second U.S. team to qualify for the round of 16.

Budinger and Evans finished third in Group F with one win and two losses, which denied them automatic qualifying to the next stage. The tournament format at least left them with a lifeline to extend their stay in Paris.

Budinger's 6'7" frame and impressive leaping ability proved to play an important role for Team USA. His four blocks were far and away the most in the match. Hodges was the only other player to record even a single block.

The former NBA forward also boasted an 18.03 percent hitting efficiency. Evans finished at a 7.69 percent clip.

Budinger's decision to leave basketball behind and focus solely on volleyball—he was a decorated volleyball player in high school—has been well chronicled by now. Simply qualifying for the Olympics validated his choice, and coming home with a medal would be the cherry on top.

Budinger and Evans will face off against Norway's Anders Mol and Christian Sørum in the round of 16 on Monday. Mol and Sørum were perfect in Group B and are the seventh-ranked tandem in men's beach volleyball.

They'll pose a significant challenge to Budinger and Evans.
