Minnesota athletes continue to compete against the tough global competition in the Olympic games, and three Minnesota athletes claimed medals over the weekend. We’ve got a summary of athletes to watch and what happened over the weekend here.

The swimmers are now leaving Japan and the spotlight moves to the track and field events at Olympic Stadium. We'll walk you through the biggest things to watch for until the closing ceremony.

The 1-0 loss pushes the U.S. squad out of contention for a gold medal. They'll take bronze if they win their next game. The U.S. lost its star goalie to an injury in the first half.

U.S. gymnast Jade Carey pulled off a complicated tumbling routine with a high degree of difficulty, earning her first Olympic medal.

"We are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow — Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!!" USA Gymnastics said. Biles had withdrawn from other events.

The men’s 100-meter sprint — a race that has long defined Olympic royalty — went to a Texas-born Italian who hadn't cracked 10 seconds until this year.

In a huddle with track officials, friends and rivals Mutaz Barshim of Qatar and Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy were given the option to settle the tie with a jump-off. Barshim had a better idea: How about two golds?

A Belarus track sprinter alleged her Olympic team tried to remove her from Japan in a dispute that led to a standoff Sunday evening at Tokyo’s main airport.

Lakeville swimmer Regan Smith won a third Olympic medal on Sunday, helping the U.S. to the silver in the women's 4-by-100 medley relay.

St. Paul gymnast Sunisa Lee added to her Olympic medal haul on Sunday, earning a bronze in uneven bars to go along with her gold in all-around and silver in the team event.
