Kelly Claes and Sarah Sponcil, the American beach volleyball pairing, have been ousted from the Tokyo Olympics.

After winning the first set in their Round of 16 match Sunday, the American duo lost in three sets to Canada’s Heather Bansley and Brandie Wilkerson, 22-24, 21-18, 15-13.

Claes and Sponcil trailed 11-6 in the first set but rallied to take the early lead at 19-18 before Bansley’s hit rolled across the net and out.

In the second, the Canadians were able to rally and force a tiebreaking third set, where the first to 15 wins and must win by two points. They led 12-11 when Sponcil’s serve flew past them and bounced off the sand.

Canada appeared to take a 13-11 lead after the hit, but the Americans’ challenge declared the ball in despite replays showing it missed the tape. Canada disputed the result and, on further review, it was ruled out.

From there, Wilkerson, a first-time Olympian, knocked down a pass at the net for a triple-set point. Canada captured the win on a Wilkerson kill to advance to the quarterfinals.

Claes, 25, and Sponcil, 24, came to Tokyo with great momentum as the youngest American team ever to qualify for the Olympic beach volleyball tournament. Claes and Sponcil are each two-time NCAA champions — at UCLA and Southern California, respectively.

In the process of qualifying for the Games, they knocked out five-time Olympian Kerri Walsh Jennings.

Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela set a world record in her final attempt on Sunday to win the women’s triple jump gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

Rojas had already secured the gold medal when she took the last of her six attempts, finishing with a mark of 15.67 meters to break a record set by Inessa Kravets of Ukraine (15.50) in 1995.

Patricia Mamona of Portugal took silver with a jump of 15.01 meters, and Ana Peleteiro of Spain won bronze with a jump of 14.87. Rojas, Mamona, and Peleteiro each leapt to new national records for their respective countries.

Rojas, the two-time world champion in the event, won a silver medal in 2016 at the Rio Olympics.

Now, she is Venezuela’s first female Olympic gold medalist.

At 20 years old, Krysta Palmer began her diving career. Nine years later, she’s an Olympic medalist.

After a series of knee injuries sidelined her from competing in gymnastics and then trampoline, the Nevada native met diving coach Jianli You at the University of Nevada and decided to give the sport a try.

Now, at 29, Palmer is the first American woman to medal in an individual diving event since 2000. In her Olympic debut in Tokyo, she won bronze with a total score of 343.75 in the individual 3m springboard final on Sunday morning, bringing an end to a three-decade drought for the U.S. in the sport.

The Chinese diving pair of Shi Tingmao and Wang Han finished in the top two spots.

Palmer’s spot on the podium came as a bit of a surprise after she nearly failed to advance beyond the preliminary round. Only the top 18 divers qualify for the semifinals, and Palmer finished 15th.

From there, however, Palmer finished fifth in the next round and nailed all of her dives in the final round to place third.

Palmer’s medal is the first for Team USA in the event since Kelly McCormick won bronze in 1988.

Simone Biles will not be competing in the individual floor exercise final at the Tokyo Olympics.

On Sunday, USA Gymnastics announced the gymnastic legend’s withdrawal from the Monday competition and said Biles has not decided whether to participate in the balance beam final, which is scheduled for Tuesday.

“Either way, we’re all behind you, Simone,” the team wrote.

The news comes after the four-time Olympic gold medalist also pulled out of the uneven bars and vault finals, allowing United States teammate MyKayla Skinner to compete in her place. Skinner won silver on vault Sunday.

Biles hasn’t competed in Tokyo since exiting the team all-around finals earlier this week after getting lost in the air during her rotation on vault. Since that day, the 24-year-old has responded to criticism and attempted to explain a gymnastics phenomenon she’s referred to as the “twisties.”

Biles also withdrew from the individual all-around final due to her mental health, paving the way for Suni Lee to win gold and continue Team USA’s dominance in the event.

With the balance beam finals approaching, Biles now has one more chance to compete in Tokyo. Skinner said Sunday that she thinks Biles will participate.

Suni Lee has done it again.

After winning the Olympic gymnastics all-around title Thursday night, becoming the fifth consecutive American woman to do so, Lee added another medal to her collection. The 18-year-old claimed bronze in the uneven bars final on Sunday.

With a score of 14.500, Lee secured her second individual medal behind Belgium’s Nina Derwael, who scored 15.200, and Anastasia Ilyankova of the Russian Olympic Committee, who won silver with a score of 14.833.

Lee, who specializes in uneven bars, didn’t expect her score to hold for a spot on the podium after leading off the event Sunday. Though disappointed with the result given her expectations, Lee was fortunate to walk away with more hardware after other gymnasts faltered during their own routines.

“It really sucks because this wasn’t the bar routine I was supposed to do or wanted to do,” she said. “Bars is, like, my thing.”

Lee is the first Hmong-American Olympic gymnast and the first Hmong-American Olympic gold medalist. She also won silver with Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum during the team final.

The Minnesota native will have one more chance at a medal in Tokyo when she competes in the balance beam final on Tuesday.

As the fastest women in the world competed in the 100-meter final Saturday in Tokyo, one of the top sprinters was missing — American Sha’Carri Richardson. The 21-year-old was suspended for one month due to a failed drug test that kept her off Team USA.

That didn’t stop Richardson from extending a gracious congratulations to the runners from Jamaica, who swept the podium in a fierce and highly anticipated race.

“Congratulations to the ladies of Jamaica for the clean sweep,” Richardson tweeted after the race. “Powerful, strong black women dominating the sport.”

Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah won gold, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took silver and Shericka Jackson earned bronze.

Last month in Oregon, Richardson won the 100m final at the U.S. Olympic trials, but a positive test result for marijuana disqualified her from the Tokyo Olympics.

And on Saturday in Tokyo, Richardson’s absence was felt. Thompson-Herah ran 10.61 seconds, breaking an Olympic record that had stood for 33 years. Richardson isn’t too far behind, clocking a season-best 10.72 back in April.

The Jamaican duo of Thompson-Herah and Fraser-Pryce are the only women who have run faster than Richardson this year.

Sydney McLaughlin cruised through the 400-meter hurdle prelims on Friday night in Tokyo, comfortably winning her heat in 54.65.

The former Kentucky track star turned household name is currently the world-record holder in the 400m hurdles with a time of 51.90, which she recorded at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials last month in Oregon.

During the race Friday, McLaughlin was so far ahead of the other runners that she was practically able to jog down the homestretch after the last hurdle.

Following the race, McLaughlin was all business, telling a reporter: “Pressure is an illusion.”

McLaughlin next races Monday in the semifinals of the 400m hurdles. American Dalilah Muhammad also advanced to the semifinals after winning her heat Friday in 53.97, the fastest of the first round.

Watch McLaughlin’s win in the prelims:

If you haven’t heard of Athing Mu before — pronounced “uh-thing-moe” — get ready. Because this 19-year-old is capable of becoming a world star overnight.

The 800 meters is one of the most anticipated track and field events, and this year’s Olympic competition looks to be another display of sheer greatest with Mu in the final.

Since she burst onto the scene at age 16, the Trenton, N.J. native has gone on to shatter records at the high school and collegiate levels, along with age-specific world records in the middle distances all the way from the 400 to the 800 meters.

As a freshman at Texas A&M, Mu broke six NCAA records — the indoor 600m, indoor 800m, indoor 4×400m relay, outdoor 400m, outdoor 800m and outdoor 4×400m relay — to rewrite the program’s record books.

Mu capped off her freshman season with an NCAA title in the 400m at Hayward Field, crossing the tape in 49.57. Then, the youngster turned pro.

Mu returned to Oregon two weeks later to compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 800 meters, where she easily crushed the field, winning the race in 1:56.07 and punching her ticket to Tokyo.

Mu’s time broke the 800-meter U.S. Olympic trials record and was the second-fastest race ever run by an American woman in the event.

Now in her Olympic-debut, Mu has made it through two rounds of the event and the 19-year-old phenom is finally eyeing the prize: gold in the 800 meter final at the Tokyo Games.

While she will face a fierce international field, including world No. 2 Natoya Goule of Jamaica and GBR’s Jemma Reekie who clocked a season-best of 1:56.96, Mu breezed through the prelims in 2:01.10 crossing the line first, and then one day later, cruised to another first-place win of 1:58.07 during the semifinals on Saturday.

Mu, along with her U.S. teammate Raevyn Rogers, are set to have their Olympic medal moment on Tuesday in Tokyo.

American swimmer Simone Manuel tweeted a profound message on Saturday morning after she failed to advance to the 50- meter freestyle final in Tokyo.

“I’m a champion!” she tweeted. “Not because of the medals I’ve won but because of how I’ve consistently fought for what I believe in, my perseverance, and my fiery passion to always be me! I’m proud of Simone the 2X Olympian/5X Olympic medalist, but most importantly I’m proud to just be ME!”

Manuel tied for 11th in the semifinals on Saturday. Only the top eight swimmers move on to Sunday’s final, which included U.S. swimmer Abbey Weitzeil.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Manuel took silver in the event. She also won gold medals in the 100-meter free and the 4x100m medley relay and a silver medal in the 4x100m free relay.

The Texas native has had a trying year after failing to qualify for the 100 free at the Tokyo Olympics — the event in which she was the defending Olympic champion. Manuel was able to rebound and earn a spot in the 50 free for Team USA.

Still, the 24-year-old isn’t leaving Tokyo empty-handed. Manuel swam the anchor leg for the bronze medal-winning 4×100 free relay team, as the Americans finished just behind Canada and Australia.

On Friday night, USA Gymnastics announced that Simone Biles had withdrawn from the vault and uneven bars individual competitions on Sunday in Tokyo.

In a tweet, American teammate MyKayla Skinner said she will be replacing Biles in the vault finals.

“Looks like I get to put a competition Leo on just one more time. Can’t wait to compete in vault finals. Doing this for us @Simone_Biles,” Skinner wrote. “It’s go time baby!”

Skinner placed fourth in the vault qualification but had originally been excluded because countries can have only two gymnasts in one event final.

Jade Carey will join Skinner in the vault finals Sunday.

No American will be able to replace Biles in the uneven bars final because a third gymnast — other than Biles and Sunisa Lee — did not qualify. Biles is still eligible to compete in the floor exercise and balance beam finals, which are set to take place on Monday and Tuesday.

The four-time Olympic gold medalist hasn’t competed since bailing on a vault exercise during the team all-around finals earlier this week, the consequence of a gymnastics phenomenon she’s referred to as the “twisties.” Biles also withdrew from the individual all-around final due to her mental health, paving the way for Lee to win gold in the event.
