Tokyo Olympics Day 10: Fall, get back up

Sifan Hassan gets up after falling to the track in the women's 1500m preliminaries Monday at the Tokyo Olympics. (Andrew Nelles, Usa Today Sports)

One of the things we all love about the Olympics is seeing athletes showing off their resilience. We saw a few examples Monday.

Consider Jade Carey. On Sunday, she was distraught after a major mistake on the vault, where she was a strong contender to win. On Monday, she bounced back to win the floor exercise with a score of 14.366, besting Italy's Vanessa Ferrari by 0.166 points.

In the women's 1500m heats, Dutch favorite Sifan Hassan tumbled to the track. She picked herself and saw the pack all the way around the bend from her on the last lap. She turned on the jets and zipped past every the runners who were falling off the pace. Then she caught up with the small bunch of leaders. In the end, she didn't just qualify. She won the heat. (STORY)

Hassan will return, not just later in the week for the rest of the 1500m. She's running in the 5000m, just 12 hours after her eventful run.

And another tale of resilience is developing. Simone Biles plans to come back and compete in Tuesday's balance beam final. (STORY)

One story didn't quite pan out, as the U.S. women's soccer team couldn't overcome an injury to goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, the woman most responsible for getting them through to the semifinals, and lost in the semifinals 1-0 to Canada.

Also coming up over the next few hours: Adeline Gray wrestles for a gold medal, and Sarah Robles competes in weightlifting.

Track and field

Women's 100m hurdles: The Kentucky Wildcats finished 1-2, and they now hold the Olympic record and world record. The bad news for the U.S. is that the winner — Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, who set the Olympic record of 12.26 in the semifinals — represents Puerto Rico. Keni Harrison, the American who set the world record of 12.20 in 2016 after missing out on a bid to the Olympics, took silver. (STORY)

Men's long jump: Greek athlete Miltiadis Tentoglou struggled to find his form ... until the last jump, when he seized gold. Juan Miguel Echevarria led Cuba to a 2-3 finish. (STORY)

Still to come: Valarie Allman competes in the women’s discus, men take to the track for the 3000m steeplechase, and Hassan returns to the track in the women's 5000m.

U.S. teams

Women's basketball: France gave the U.S. women a scare then turned into the frightened one. Needing to keep the margin close to clinch a quarterfinal berth, France took the lead in the fourth quarter, only to see the U.S. roar back. In the end, France did just enough to qualify despite losing, and both teams were happy. (STORY)

Beach volleyball: A day after seeing two U.S. teams eliminated, April Ross and Alix Klineman advanced to the quarterfinals (STORY). Jake Gibb and Tri Bourne are in action later.
