Tuesday's hectic schedule at the 2024 Paris Olympics was loaded with dramatic heats and elimination rounds.
Sure, there weren't a ton of medals distributed outside of athletics—although the United States took the overall gold lead thanks to Cole Hocker and Gabby Thomas on the track.
Many teams and individuals, however, put themselves in great position for a podium in the coming days.
Most notably, the men's 5x5 basketball quarterfinal round brought some varying news for NBA superstars. Nikola Jokic and Serbia advanced to the semifinals as Team USA eyes the same, but Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece reached the end of the Olympic road.
