Team USA picks up bronze medals in the men's marathon and men's volleyball (Americans came back from down, two sets to none!), and Kyle Snider has advanced to the freestyle 97kg wrestling final!
Claressa Shields wins women's middle 75 kg boxing gold. Claressa Shields is 21 years old, and she's a two-time boxing gold medalist. Teófilo Stevenson got three of them, but he was 30 when he won his first one for Cuba.
That's 44 gold medals for Team USA, which will compete yet today for gold in men's freestyle 97 kg wrestling and men's basketball.
David Aldridge @daldridgetnt U.S. picking it up defensively with George, Lowry on the wings. Cousins doing good work inside. They lead Serbia 23-15 early in second. 2:12 PM - 21 Aug 2016
Big Cuz's off-the-bench energy up and down the floor and back stirred Team USA from a sleepy start. Serbia led by three late in the first quarter, but now it's 28-20, United States ...
Cousins entered with 3:30 to go in the first quarter, and the United States trailed Serbia, 13-11. He returned to the bench with 6:57 to go in the second, and Team USA led, 33-20.
Wrestlingwise, our man Kyle Snyder has won his way into the semifinals at freestyle 97 kg, but our man Frank Molinaro has not at freestyle 65kg.
