Huske was also part of the 4×100-meter freestyle team, winning silver alongside teammates Kate Douglass, Gretchen Walsh and Simone Manuel.

Japan and Australia are tied with four gold medals each, but the Americans thus far have the most medals overall.
The U.S. men’s basketball team’s gold medal defense tipped off in earnest today, with a 110-84 win vs. Serbia to open group play.
Kevin Durant led the way for the U.S., scoring 23 points on 8-of-9 shooting. Durant, who missed all of exhibition play leading up to Paris, looked dominant coming off the bench.
LeBron James, playing in the Olympics for the first time since 2012, recorded 21 points, eight rebounds and nine assists, picking up where he left off in London 12 years ago.
Highlights: U.S. women’s soccer team leads group after 4-1 victory over Germany
The U.S. women’s soccer team pulled out to lead its group at the Olympics today with a 4-1 win against Germany, allowing a decent cushion as it heads into its next game against Australia later this week.
Going into their game against Germany, the American women were tied for first, but their gap in the standings this morning was quickly closed after Australia scored six goals against Zambia in the afternoon.
But the Americans played beautifully under pressure, forcing Germany’s defense to spend the majority of the game in its own box as they kept possession of the ball. Sophia Smith, who made her World Cup debut only last year, scored two goals and showed pure offensive drive.
