Day 1 of the Summer Games kicks off, USA wins first medal in diving, Jill Biden in Paris

In Tokyo, British swimmer Tom Daley captured the internet, and all of our hearts, with his knitting needles. The Olympic gold medalist was spotted both poolside and in the stands at other events cheering and knitting.

Both Daley, competing in his fifth Games, and his knitting materials are back in Paris.

The Olympics posted a picture of Daley knitting in the stands, where it looks like he was putting together a sweater emblazoned with his name in the colors of the British flag.

“It wouldn’t be an #Olympics without @tomdaley knitting-in-the-crowd cameo!” The Olympics wrote on Instagram.

Brazil holds an impressive 23-15 lead over France after the first quarter of the countries’ opening game in group basketball play.

The hosts entered as a heavy favorite, led by their massive frontcourt of Rudy Gobert and Victor Wembanyama. Both had their moments in the first quarter, though on the opposite ends of the highlight spectrum.

Gobert was victimized on an alley oop, catching the business end of a dunk by Joao Cardoso that will surely be printed on posters in Brazil. Wembanyama scored only three points in the first, but they all came off an and-1 in which he towered over three Brazilian defenders. He grabbed multiple offensive rebounds off his own misses before finishing through contact.

Leonardo Meindl led Brazil with six points after the opening frame.

The men’s cycling time trials are in progress. Americans Magnus Sheffield and Brandon McNulty åre among the competitors. Sheffield is recovering from an apparent fall on the course a few minutes ago.

In his Olympic debut, Stanford gymnast Asher Hong made a strong impression with two difficult passes, as his family cheered him on. He will be Team USA’s best medal hope for this event.

Gianmarco Tamberi is apologizing to his wife after losing his wedding ring during Friday’s Opening Ceremony.

The reigning high jump champion proudly carried Italy’s flag when he watched his wedding ring slip into the Seine. In a dramatic and somewhat humorous explanation on Instagram, Tamberi tried to pinpoint what went wrong:

“I’m sorry my love…Too much water, too many kilos in the last few months or maybe the irrepressible enthusiasm of what we were doing. Probably all three, the fact remains that I felt it slip out, saw it fly…followed it with my eyes until I saw it bounce inside the boat.”

He then proposed that his wife also throw her ring into the Seine, as a kind of vow renewal that they would be “together forever.”

The Argentines are in need of a win after losing their opening match of the tournament to Morocco.
