STORYLINE:
It was a dramatic Friday night for the United States in track and field at the Paris Olympics, and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif won gold after facing scrutiny over misconceptions about her sex.
Sha’Carri Richardson got her first gold medal while a U.S. men’s relay team fumbled away another chance to be champions.
Khelif emerged as a champion from a tumultuous run at the Games where she was the subject of online abuse from around the world over misconceptions about her womanhood.
Khelif beat Yang Liu of China 5:0 in the final of the women’s welterweight division, wrapping up the best series of fights of her boxing career with a victory at Roland Garros, where crowds chanted her name, waved Algerian flags and roared every time she landed a punch.
Breanna Stewart scored 16 points and the U.S. women advanced to their eighth consecutive Olympic gold -medal game with an 85-64 victory over Australia.
The Americans extended their Olympic winning streak to 60 consecutive games dating to the 1992 Barcelona Games. They’ll face France in Sunday’s final after the host country beat Belgium in overtime.
The U.S. is trying to become the first team to win eight consecutive gold medals, breaking a tie with the American men’s program that won seven in a row from 1936-68.
