Katie Ledecky and Team USA Swim Earn Medals
Team USA has already made a splash at the aquatic center, and Tuesday night offers more opportunities to win medals.
Katie Ledecky earned a gold medal in the 1500m freestyle after failing to medal in the 200m freestyle two hours earlier. She had the top times in qualifying for both events, even setting an Olympic record in the inaugural 1500m heats.
In the women’s 200m butterfly, Alex Walsh took silver and Kate Douglass took bronze for Team USA.
The swim event Tuesday concluded with the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay final, an event where Team USA has won four straight gold medals. But the team failed to medal in a disappointing finish.
U.S. Men's Basketball Team Routs Iran
The United States responded in dominant fashion.
Coming off its first loss since 2004 after falling to France on Sunday, the U.S. returned to form against Iran during a 120-66 win.
The shooting woes that hampered the U.S. against France were non-existent against Iran, as Team USA shot 55.3 percent from the field and connected on 19 threes. Damian Lillard went 7-for-13 from 3 to lead the United States with 21 points.
Kevin Durant had 10 points, five rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals. Durant, participating in his third Olympic Games, now sits just six points behind Carmelo Anthony (336 points) as Team U.S.A's all-time leading scorer.
Devin Booker, who was inserted into the starting lineup over Zach LaVine, added 16 points as six U.S. players finished in double figures.
