Portugal stunned the field to claim its first-ever Olympic track cycling gold medal in the men’s Madison race. Iuri Leitao and Rui Oliviera mounted a sensational late attack, winning three consecutive sprints and making a lap on the peloton to secure victory. Italy, who were leading in the final stages, were hampered by a late crash that allowed Portugal to seize the momentum.
Beau Braverman’s home run in the fifth inning proved pivotal as Madison claimed a 3-1 victory over Parsippany Hills in their latest softball encounter. Charlotte Tuhy’s solid pitching performance, allowing only one earned run on nine hits, further contributed to Madison’s triumph. Despite Caroline Hutchinson’s commendable efforts on the mound for Parsippany Hills, Madison ultimately avenged their previous 5-3 loss to the same opponent.
