Elaine Thompson-Herah’s legacy as the fastest woman in the world continues.

She’ll step in for Biles during the

Picture this: You’re flipping with your heels above your head, gravity fighting against you, trying not to break form. You’re twisting, too, all the while making sure you land right side up. That’s just what gymnasts do, and they do it oftentimes on command without blinking. Elite gymnasts specifically perform unthinkable skills that, with one

Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles withdrew from the July 27 artistic gymnastics team final and the July 29 all-around final at the Tokyo Olympics due to her mental health.

Tom Daley’s first Olympic gold medal will be kept safe and sound until he returns home from Tokyo.

American swimmer Katie Ledecky became a household name at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she clocked astonishing times in the pool and ultimately became the most decorated woman athlete at the Games.

If you’ve been tuning in to watch softball in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, you’ve probably noticed that they’re playing on fields that are about 95 percent synthetic turf.

For international rivals, there’s nothing sweeter than clinching Olympic gold, and no one knows that feeling better than American swimmer Lilly King.

The 2024 Summer Olympics may seem like they’re ages away — after all, we still have to get through the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing — but the Games have already been making headlines since France was confirmed as the host nation in 2017.
