In Tokyo the U.S. women won their first Olympic gold in the sport of indoor volleyball, beating traditional power Brazil. Indoor volleyball has been on the Olympic program since 1964 and the U.S. has one gold, three silver and two bronze. Jordan Larson returns as captain of the team after being named MVP of the Tokyo Games.

It’s the women’s marathon day, which will take runners on a scenic route that includes Hotel de Ville de Paris, past the Eiffel Tower and Chateau de Versailles. For many years, the men’s marathon was held on the final day, bringing the Olympics to a close. In Paris, the women will be showcased on the final day of the Games, ending just a few hours before the closing ceremony.
