With some wins and disappointments, Team USA is on its way to wrapping up Day 8 of the Paris Olympics. While Caeleb Dressel narrowly missed out on the Men’s 50m Freestyle podium, Regan Smith regained some energy with her silver in the Women’s 200m Backstroke finals.
Similarly, Grant Fisher blew away with his speed getting him the bronze at the Men’s 10,000m final. Now that the track and field events have kickstarted, it will be interesting to see who emerges as the podium champion for the upcoming sprints.
