China and the United States continue to jockey for the gold-medal lead in Paris, but Team USA remains in a dominant position in the overall count at the 2024 Olympic Games.

Most notably, two more golds happened on the track.

Before misfortune struck U.S. men again in the 4x100 relay, the women's team rode Sha'Carri Richardson's brilliant anchor leg to a victory. Rai Benjamin added a gold in the 400 hurdles later.

Other significant news from the day included Spain's high-scoring triumph over France in soccer's gold-medal match. The dramatic game included a late equalizer, extra time and heartbreak for the hosts.

U.S. Women Roll to Semis

No stress here.

In the program's 60th consecutive Olympic victory, the U.S. women's basketball promptly put away Australia.

Breanna Stewart had 16 points and five assists to help Team USA win 85-64 and reach the gold-medal game. Jackie Young chipped in 13 points, while A'ja Wilson controlled the interior with 10 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. The U.S. never trailed in the game.

Through five contests, no country has finished within 13 points of the powerful American roster.

Team USA will face France in the final as it seeks an eighth straight gold medal.

Spain Upends the Hosts

Spain certainly made it interesting, wasting a 3-1 lead and needing extra time to outlast a determined France team. However, substitute Sergio Camello netted two late goals to give Spain its first gold in 32 years.

After the full national team won the European Championship last month, Spain completed a special double in Paris.

Fermin Lopez and Alex Baena—who scored twice and once, respectively, in Friday's thriller—were a part of both trophy runs. They joined French goalkeeper Albert Rust (1984) as the only players in history to win the Euros and Olympics in the same year.

Jean-Philippe Mateta provided some earlier heroics for France, burying an equalizing penalty kick in second-half stoppage time.

Unfortunately for France, the storybook ending did not happen. Still, the program won its first Olympic medal since Rust and the 1984 squad secured gold in Los Angeles.

Dueling U.S. Fates in 4x100 Relays

First, the good news!

Melissa Jefferson, TeeTee Terry, Gabby Thomas and Sha'Carri Richardson stormed to a gold medal in the 4x100 relay. Richardson took the baton from Thomas in third place but sprinted past Germany and Great Britain to claim the USA's third 4x100 gold in the last four Olympics.

The memorable moment will be Richardson's confident glance as Great Britain's Daryll Neita in the closing meters.

But there wouldn't be a sweep.

Yet again, the U.S. men struggled with an exchange and squandered a great opportunity for a medal in the relay. Christian Coleman and Kenny Bednarek messed up the first handoff, which led to a disqualification for passing the baton outside of the zone anyway.

The 4x400 relays are scheduled for Saturday, and the United States men and women both qualified for the finals.
