She holds the record for all of the top ten best finishes in the 800m freestyle swimming races, which is a sensational feat. In the event, she has a hat-trick of gold medals at the Olympics. In total, Katie has a total of 13 medals at the Olympics, 9 of them being gold. Only Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union has as many gold medals at the Olympics as the female athletes.
Can Stephen Curry claim his maiden Olympic gold?
On the other hand, Stephen Curry has a chance to win his maiden medal at the Olympics. It is a bit surprising to know that the Paris Olympics happens to be his maiden Olympics. But the star player can claim his maiden medal and it could well be the gold medal. Given the level at which the USA is operating, a gold medal looks ominous.
In the semifinal of the event, the USA will be up against Serbia who made a terrific comeback against Australia. The defending champions overcame Brazil in a dominant fashion to enter the semifinal. Serbia might be their biggest challenge. Curry needs to be at his best for the USA to beat Serbia in the semifinal to get a step closer to glory.
