The U.S. men’s team volleyball squad got off to a rough start, dropping its first match to lower-seeded Canada in three sets. Day 2 in Rio featured an abundance of exciting moments for U.S. fans, but it saved its best for last. China’s Wu Minxia, 30, became the first women’s diver to win a gold medal in four consecutive Games and the oldest woman to win an Olympic diving gold medal. Elsewhere, Alexander Massialas gave the U.S. its first medal in individual men’s foil fencing since 1960, when he took silver. Of course, there’s much more than that on top, so stay tuned — or check this space tomorrow to see what you might have missed.
