Springsteen, along with U.S. teammates Laura Kraut and McLain Ward, recorded a score of eight faults, tying Sweden for first place.
The two teams then competed in a jump-off for gold. Sweden won out after completing the course 1.3 seconds faster than the U.S. did.
âYou definitely start to get the jitters, but it was also super exciting,â Springsteen said after her Olympic debut. âMy horse jumped it beautifully and we really gave it our all out there.â
With the silver medal, Kraut became the oldest U.S. female medalist since 1904.

Reigning back-to-back Ballon d'Or winner Aitana BonmatĂ will soon re-join her Spain teammates at their 2025 Euro training camp, with doctors discharging the star midfielder on Sunday after a brief hospitalization for viral meningitis.
"Thanks to everyone for the messages I've received and to those who have helped me these past few days," BonmatĂ posted to social media. "Fortunately, everything is going well. I hope to be back soon."
The reigning World Cup champions are still hunting their first-ever Euro title, with national team feeder clubs like FC Barcelona poised to cash in on participating players.
Last week, UEFA upped its club benefits program budget to âŹ9 million ($10.6 million) following a recommendation from the European Club Association â a full doubling of the âŹ4.5 million ($5.3 million) paid to clubs sending players to the 2022 summer tournament.
Under the program, Euro athletes' home clubs will be compensated a daily rate of âŹ985 ($1,159) for releasing the player for the during of the tournament.
With training camp preparation days, clubs across Europe will receive between âŹ19,700 ($23,186) and âŹ36,445 ($42,894) for each player competing at the 2025 Euro, depending on how deep a run that athlete's national team makes in the July competition.
For BonmatĂ's home club Barcelona, which sent 18 players to represent eight of the tournament's 16 teams â nearly their entire roster and more than any other club â that means a minimum club payday of âŹ354,600 ($417,346) with a ceiling likely surpassing âŹ600,000 ($706,000).

2025 Women’s Euro Set to Break Tournament Attendance Record

UEFA's 2025 Euro tournament is already knocking on the door of history, as the European Championship is on track to shatter the competition's overall attendance record â despite not kicking off until next week.
This year's Switzerland-hosted edition has sold more than 570,000 of the 673,000 tickets available as of Thursday.
Given that tally, England's 2022 Euro record of 574,875 is likely to fall in the coming days.
In addition to the tickets already on sale, stadiums will release another 32,000 to accommodate the knockout stages in the coming weeks.
While Switzerland is poised to claim the Euro's total attendance title by the competition's July 27th finale, England's single-game record crowd of 87,192 â set at the 2022 championship match â will be safe, as no Swiss venue matches the capacity of London's iconic Wembley Stadium.
The 2025 Euro final will be a much more elite affair, as only 34,250 seats are available at Basel's St. Jakob-Park â the largest of the tournament's eight venues.
That said, this summer's European Championship will have more eyes on it than ever before, and not just from the stands.
The 2022 edition shattered viewership records worldwide, but the 2025 Euro has a chance to level up even more, as the tournament has seen its global broadcast footprint expand â particularly in the US.
While the overall tournament chases new attendance and viewership records, the 16 teams bound for Switzerland will be battling toward the 2025 Euro trophy when the competition kicks off next Wednesday.

The 2025 FIBA AmeriCup 5Ă5 basketball tournament tips off Saturday in Santiago, Chile, where a youthful Team USA will battle nine other countries from North and South America for both this summer's trophy and a ticket to the 2026 FIBA World Cup.
After falling to reigning champions Brazil in 2023, Team USA will aim to avenge the loss by winning a fifth all-time gold medal at the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup final on July 6th.
Led by Duke head coach Kara Lawson, this 12-player US squad follows the federation playbook by tapping top college talent, with the NCAA's finest looking to gain international experience and hone their skills against pros like Chicago Sky center Kamilla Cardoso, who leads Brazil's AmeriCup roster.
Full of familiar faces, the USA AmeriCup lineups includes March Madness stars Olivia Miles (TCU), Flau'Jae Johnson (LSU), Hannah Hidalgo (Notre Dame), Madison Booker (Texas), Audi Crooks (Iowa State), Raegan Beers (Oklahoma), and Joyce Edwards (South Carolina).
Also taking the FIBA court for Team USA are NCAA standouts Mikayla Blakes (Vanderbilt), Gianna Kneepkens (UCLA), Kennedy Smith (USC), Hannah Stuelke (Iowa), and Grace Vanslooten (Michigan State).
"[W]e haven't seen the level of physicality and experience we're going to see down there," Lawson said this week. "So that remains to be seen if we're going to be able to impose that athletic, physical play. But there's no doubt we're going to try."

How to watch Team USA at the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup

Runner Faith Kipyegon Beats Her Own World Record, Falls Short of 4-Minute Mile

Three-time 1,500-meter Olympic gold medalist Faith Kipyegon fell just short of making running history on Thursday, as the middle-distance star clocked a time of 4:06.42 in her attempt to become the first woman to break the four-minute mile.
"It was the first trial. I have proven that it's possible and it's only a matter of time. I think it will come to our way," said Kipyegon following Thursday's race. "If it's not me, it will be somebody else."
Still the fastest mile-runner of any woman in history, the Kenyan icon did beat her own previous world record of 4:07.64 by 1.22 seconds, though the time won't count as a new record as the race came during Nike's unofficial Breaking4 event.
"Faith didn't just make history, she proved the future of sport is faster, stronger, and more inclusive than ever," noted Nike president Amy Montagne after Kipyegon's race.
"It was tough, but I am so proud of what I've done, and I'm going to keep on trying, dreaming and pursing big goals," said Kipyegon. "I want to show the world, and especially women, that you have to dare to try."
