Two of Team USA's biggest names competed again in Paris on Saturday -- Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky -- while the U.S. women's soccer team survived in a key quarterfinal match.

Biles -- who already won the individual all-around and team all-around final -- earned her record-extending seventh Olympic gold medal in the women's vault.

Ledecky won gold in the women's 800m freestyle, her ninth gold medal and 14th Olympic medal overall.
