Historic Moments and Thrills at the Paris Olympics

The Paris Olympics witnessed groundbreaking achievements, controversies, and inspiring comebacks. Highlights included Botswana's first gold in men's 200 meters by Letsile Tebogo, Pakistan's javelin record by Arshad Nadeem, and China's first women's boxing gold by Chang Yuan. U.S. basketball team triumphed dramatically, while the refugee team secured its first medal.

Under sunny skies, the men's marathon swim commenced in the River Seine, albeit without Sweden's Victor Johansson, who withdrew due to water quality concerns. Later, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is set to contend for gold.

Thursday night at Stade de France was electrifying, marked by Letsile Tebogo clinching the men's 200 meters title, becoming the first African to secure this victory. Meanwhile, Pakistani athlete Arshad Nadeem shattered the javelin record with a throw of 92.97 meters, earning Pakistan its first gold since 1984.

Adding to the drama, South Korea's pistol shooter Kim Ye-ji collapsed from stress during a press conference. The U.S. basketball team, led by LeBron James and Steph Curry, executed a stunning comeback against Serbia to reach the finals.
