The International Olympic Committee apologized to South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol for mistakenly introducing the South Korean team as North Korean during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Day 3 of the Olympics featured events like shooting, diving, equestrian, cycling, archery, skateboarding, canoe slalom, artistic gymnastics, and swimming. Team USA’s women’s basketball team suffered a loss to the WNBA All-Star team before heading to the Paris Games, but history has shown that previous losses in the WNBA All-Star game did not prevent Team USA from winning gold at the Olympics. Neftalie Williams, a college professor, has been appointed as the State Department’s ‘Ambassador of Skateboarding’ and is focusing on using skateboarding for social change. WNBA star Brittney Griner, who faced detention in Russia on drug charges in 2022, is determined to represent her country well at the Paris Olympics. To watch the Olympics, fans can follow the action and track upcoming events to stay on top of the latest results.
