PARIS — The Summer Olympics continued Thursday with some of the biggest U.S. stars back in action. The biggest news of the day came on the track, where Noah Lyles settled for bronze in the men’s 200-meter final, then confirmed a report from NBC that he’d tested positive for the coronavirus early Tuesday morning.

Earlier in the day, the U.S. women’s volleyball team highlighted the action by beating rival Brazil in an intense semifinal match. Read below for all the highlights from Day 13 at the Summer Games in Paris.

Uzbekistan’s Hasanboy Dusmatov defeated France’s Billal Bennama in the men’s boxing flyweight gold medal match, 5-0 on points, at Roland Garros. It’s the third gold medal for Uzbekistan in Paris.

Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig will play for the men’s beach volleyball gold medal against Germany’s Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler on Saturday after sweeping Qatar’s Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan, 21-13, 21-17, in the semifinals.

Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, the top-ranked men’s beach volleyball duo in the world, are one set from clinching a spot in the gold medal match. The Swedes took the first set of their semifinal against Qatar’s Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan 21-13.

Track and Field is fully underway in Paris with everything from nail-biting semi-final races setting up the drama tomorrow, multiple broken records in one event and thrilling finishes for gold.

USA has lead cut late on but cruises past Nigeria to reach women's basketball semifinals

From CNN's Matias Grez

After the USA had opened up a 30-point lead in the third quarter, Nigeria cut the deficit to 14 by the horn with an impressive fourth-quarter performance.

However, the late run was never going to be enough and the Americans cruised to an 88-74 win to reach the semifinals.

There was some drama late on as the USA took umbrage with Ezinne Kalu playing until the final buzzer and scoring a late layup, leading Kahleah Copper to receive a technical foul for petulantly throwing the ball at Kalu’s leg.

Two-time MVP A’ja Wilson had a dominant night with game-high 20 points to go with 11 rebounds and two blocks.

Promise Amukamara, Amy Okonkwo and Kalu impressed for Nigeria, registering 19, 17 and 16 points respectively.

It was quite a few minutes of whiplash for Lithuanian Mykolas Alekna.

First, he set a new Olympic record to take the lead in the discus throw event, besting his father’s mark from the 2004 Games in Athens. And then, not long after, he was in second place and looking up at Rojé Stola of Jamaica, who had just topped his Olympic record and – eventually – his gold medal.

“I had an Olympic record for a few throws; it was great to break it. It was a great experience and I am happy to bring home a medal. I am not sad or anything, it is just pure joy. Of course, my expectation was to win, but sometimes, it does not happen. I am so glad for this silver,” he said after.

The USA’s Sarah Hildebrandt won gold in the women’s freestyle wrestling 50kg class with a 3-0 victory over Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzmán.

Hildebrandt had originally been scheduled to fight Vinesh Phogat in the final, but the Indian wrestler sensationally failed to make weight earlier on Wednesday, meaning Guzmán – who had lost to Phogat – was moved up into the gold medal bout.

It’s fair to say Hildebrandt couldn’t believe what she had done.
