  • French gymnast Samir Ait Said snapped his left leg in horrifying fashion on a vault landing on Saturday during the men’s qualification rounds.

    Adding insult to injury, medics dropped the stretcher he was on and sent him to the ground. American flag bearer and swim god Michael Phelps won his 19th gold medal with the help of Nathan Adrian, Caeleb Dressel and Ryan Held.

    Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu took the record in the 400-meter individual medley Saturday night, winning gold in the process, but her celebration was marred by NBC announcer Dan Hicks and his sexist remark.

    Hicks said Shane Tusup, her husband and coach, was “the man responsible” for the record-breaking performance. Olympians come from all over the globe. For example, Megan Guarnier, called one of the world’s fastest women on two wheels, is from Glens Falls, New York.

    Tonga flag bearer Pita Nikolas Taufatofua made an epic entrance in the Parade of Nations and racked up the Instagram followers afterwards, adding more than 1,000 within an hour of his appearance.
