Is Biles the best? It’s time in Rio to find out

The truck they were traveling in was met by gunshots and one officer was shot in the head. A security source said the shell was discovered near the stables, used to house thoroughbreds for competition – some of the world’s most expensive animals.

A commando unit backed by a police helicopter was preparing Thursday to carry out an operation to apprehend those behind the attack.

“I am really looking forward to it, I can’t wait”, Bronte said. Officials were adding more security at the venue.

Not since 1904 in St. Louis has an Olympic medal been awarded in golf.

“It’s the end of a long journey, or the beginning of a new one”, Dawson said shortly after Da Silva had split the fairway with his opening drive.

Britain’s Jack Laugher and Chris Mears compete during the men’s synchronized 3-meter springboard diving final in the Maria Lenk Aquatic Center at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016.

That came at a news conference with Coe in Rio that was filled with questions on doping, banned athletes and what the IAAF is doing to change the way it works after 12 months that rocked the sport and its governing body.

Two days after winning his 20th and 21st golds, Michael Phelps looks for another, at 11:01 p.m.

Cate is the world record holder and Bronte has the world title.

The men’s sprint team finals are being held starting at 6:25 p.m. and, aside from the athletes, the bikes just may be the stars of the show. That’s how it went four years ago in London, when Phelps won and Lochte finished second.

Earlier in the day, at 2:16 p.m., he swims in qualifiers for the 100m butterfly, an event for which he holds the world record.

Medals also will be awarded in the women’s 200 meter breaststroke, the women’s 100 meter freestyle and in the men’s 200 meter backstroke. She earned her third gold of the Rio games on Wednesday in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay. It’s a links-style layout stretching 7,128 yards and built in the hopes it can both challenge some of the world’s best in Rio and then grow the game in Brazil.

The 44-year-old da Silva, who is based in South Africa, will be joined by Canada’s Graham Delaet and South Korea’s An Byeong-Hun in the first group out at 1030 GMT.

The field includes six Major winners – current British Open champion Henrik Stenson of Sweden, Ireland’s Padraig Harrington, England’s Justin Rose and reigning Masters champion Danny Willett, two-time Masters victor Bubba Watson of the United States and Germany’s Martin Kaymer.

In the women’s all-around, Simone Biles is the favorite to win gold and Aly Raisman will be a medal contender.

Her floor routine also includes a move that is now named for her – how cool is that? Aly Raisman, who also shared in the USA team gold Tuesday, is in Biles’ rotation.

A day earlier, Japan’s Kohei Uchimura added to his awesome record in the individual all around: He won the worlds in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and was the defending gold medalist.
