Italian Daniele Garozzo stunned top-ranked American Alexander Massialas on Sunday to win gold in men's foil fencing.

Garozzo beat Massialas — who was seeking to become the first American man to win at the Olympics in the modern version of the sport —15-11 to give Italy its second gold of the Rio Games.

Massialas rallied from six points down in the quarterfinals. But he gave up six straight points to Garozzo in the final as the Italian ran away with the match.

Still, Massialas is the first individual Olympic medalist the U.S. has produced in men's fencing since Peter Westbrook won a bronze in 1984.

Russia's Timur Safin took bronze.

11:20 p.m.

Italy's Fabio Basile has taken the gold medal in the men's 66-kilogram judo division on Sunday, upsetting the top-ranked Baul An of South Korea in the final.

Basile ended the match just over a minute and a half into the fight after catching An off-guard and flipping him onto his back for an immediate victory.

Baul had been dominant all day in his other matches and looked shocked when Basile caught him in the match-ending ippon throw.

After being announced the winner, Basile embraced a shaken Baul before then being hoisted by his coach in victory.

The Italian had already been so relieved to make it through his closely fought semifinal against Slovenian Adrian Gomboc that he deliberately paused after leaving the mat to kiss his coach on the head.

10:45 p.m.

Kosovo's Majlinda Kelmendi has won her country's first-ever Olympic medal — and it's a gold.

Kelmendi defeated Italy's Odette Giuffrida in the women's 52-kilogram judo division final in a tight Sunday contest marked by aggressive grip-fighting as both competitors struggled to get a decisive hold on the other's uniform.

Kelmendi only managed to score once, but it was enough. After her victory was announced, Kelmendi hugged Giuffrida and then walked off the mat in tears. Wearing a blue uniform that matched some of the Kosovo flags being waved in the arena, a teary Kelmendi waved to the crowd and raised her arms in victory.

The bronze medals were won by Japan's Misato Nakamura and Natalia Kuziutina of Russia.

10:45 p.m.

South Korea turned in a masterful performance on a blustery day to win the Olympic gold medal in women's team archery for an eighth straight time.

Ki Bo-bae, Choi Mi-sun and Chang Hye-jin weren't bothered by the swirling wind as they beat Russia 5-1 in the final Sunday at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Chinese Taipei beat Italy in the bronze-medal match.

It was a clean sweep for South Korea, with the men's team capturing gold in convincing fashion Saturday.

Shu-Ching Hsu of Taiwan won her first Olympic gold medal Sunday when Yajun Li of China failed to complete the clean and jerk in women's weightlifting 53-kilogram category at the Rio de Janeiro Games.

Yajun set an Olympic record in the first round snatch by lifting 101 kilos to take the lead into the clean and jerk. She was the last lifter to compete in the second round, and only needed to lift 126 kilos to win gold.

When she failed, the gold went to Shu-Ching, who lifted 100 kilos in snatch and 112 in clean and jerk for an overall score of 212 kilos. Her gold goes with the silver she won four years ago at the London Games.

A tearful Hidilyn Diaz of Philippines won silver after failing to medal in the last two Olympics.

Jin Hee Yoon of South Korea won bronze. She had won silver at Beijing in 2008.

10:30 p.m.

China has opened its bid for a golden sweep in Olympic diving, easily winning the women's 3-meter springboard synchronized title.

Shi Tingmao and Wu Minxia totaled 345.60 points Sunday in the first diving event of the Rio Games. They led throughout the five-round competition and won by a whopping 31.77 points on an overcast day at the Maria Lenk Aquatic Center, where light rain briefly fell.

Italy's Tania Cagnotto and Francesca Dallape took silver at 313.83. Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith of Australia rallied from last to earn the bronze with 299.19, edging Canada by less than a point.

Wu claimed her fourth consecutive gold in 3-meter synchro, becoming the first woman to win four golds in the same event at the Olympics. She also won in 2004, 2008 and 2012.

9.40pm

Annemiek van Vleuten of the Netherlands was conscious and responsive after a spectacular crash in the women's Olympic road race Sunday that helped countrywoman Anna van der Breggen claim gold.

Van Vleuten was leading American rider Mara Abbott down the Vista Chinesa climb when she came to the last hard corner. She appeared to lock up her breaks and skidded into the curb on the outside of it, crashing to the ground in an eerily similar scene to the men's race the previous day.

Italian rider Vincenzo Nibali was leading that race when he crashed, breaking his collarbone.

The same descent claimed several other riders in the men's race, though it appeared that van Vleuten was the only rider in the women's field who crashed hard on it.

9:30 p.m.

Dutch star Anna van der Breggen helped track down American rider Mara Abbott within sight of the finish line, then out-sprinted Sweden's Emma Johansson to win gold in the women's road race Sunday.

Van der Breggen, Johansson and Elisa Longo Borghini of Italy worked together over the final flat stretch to catch Abbott, who had shattered the field on the hard climb up Vista Chinesa.

They were just 100 meters from the line when they swept by her, and van der Breggen moved quickly to the front and had enough finishing kick to make it back-to-back golds for the Netherlands.

Her teammate Marianne Vos captured gold four years ago in London.

9:20 p.m.

Australia's Catherine Skinner has captured women's trap gold at the Rio Olympics after hitting 12 of 15 shots in the finals against New Zealand's Natalie Rooney.

Skinner hit 14 of 15 shots in the first stage of the finals to earn a spot in the gold medal match. Rooney won a shoot-off with American Corey Cogdell-Unrein after tying for second.

Skinner missed two of her first four shots in the gold medal match, but Rooney twice missed consecutive shots to fall behind. Skinner needed to hit her final two shots and did to take home gold in her first Olympics.

Cogdell-Unrein went to another shoot-off after tying Spain's Fatima Galvez with 13 in the bronze medal match, but hit her first shot this time. Galvez missed hers, giving Cogdell-Unrein her second Olympic bronze (Bejing).

Defending gold medalist Jessica Rossi of Australia hit 10 targets in the finals and finished sixth.

9:05 p.m.

Katie Ledecky nearly broke her own world record in the preliminaries of the 400-meter freestyle, setting herself up as the overwhelming favorite to capture her first gold medal of the Rio Olympics.

Ledecky posted a time of 3 minutes, 58.71 seconds, actually backing off a bit on the closing lap to conserve energy for the Sunday night final. She just missed her mark of 3:58.37 set in 2014.

No one is even close to Ledecky, who will essentially be racing the clock in the final. The next-fastest qualifier was Britain's Jazz Carlin, who was more than 4 seconds behind. American Leah Smith posted the third-fastest time in the prelims.

8.50pm

Yulia Efimova of Russia was greeted by some booing after winning her heat in the 100-meter breaststroke preliminaries.

The reigning world champion was allowed to compete at the Rio Games after serving a 16-month suspension for doping and again testing positive this year for the now-banned substance meldonium.

The IOC initially banned Efimova, along with six other Russian swimmers who either had positive tests on their record or were named in an investigation of the massive, state-sanctioned doping.

Efimova had the second-fastest time of 1 minute, 5.79 seconds. Lilly King of the U.S. was the leading qualifier in 1:05.78.

Also advancing to the semifinals on Sunday night was Katie Meili of the U.S., world record holder Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania and Shi Jinglin of China.

Efimova also is expected to swim in the 200 breast and possibly the 4x100 medley relay.

7:20 p.m.

Serena Williams opened defense of her Olympic singles gold medal with a patchy-at-times 6-4, 6-2 victory over Australia's Daria Gavrilova.

Sunday's match at the Rio de Janeiro games was Williams' first since she won her Open-era record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last month.

The American, seeded No. 1, was hardly at her best in the 91-minute contest, compiling 37 unforced errors to 27 winners, and she got broken at love while serving for the first set at 5-3. But Williams broke right back in the next game.

Williams is scheduled to play doubles with her older sister Venus later Sunday.

The younger Williams owns four gold medals - in singles at London four years ago, and in doubles in 2000, 2008 and 2012.

7:15 p.m.

Australia's Olympic delegation is calling for tighter beach security after two rowing coaches were robbed at knifepoint near Rio's iconic Ipanema beach.

Two teenagers, one of them brandishing a long knife, grabbed the coaches by their throats in the Friday incident and pushed them against the wall. Australian Olympic Committee spokesman Mike Tancred says the coaches followed security protocol, didn't offer any resistance and quickly handed over their wallets and mobile phones. One had an official Australian delegation blazer taken.

Neither coach was seriously hurt and Tancred says they kept the incident quiet until late Saturday so as not to disturb the athletes in the first day of competition.

The incident, combined with the theft of $40,000 worth of equipment belonging to an Australian photographer covering the games, again heightened security concerns.

7 p.m.

The Iron Lady is back in the pool.

Fresh off winning the first Olympic medal of her career, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary swam the preliminaries of the 100-meter backstroke Sunday. She advanced to the evening semifinals in a tie for fourth with Mie Nielsen of Denmark with a time of 59.13 seconds.

Hosszu won the 400 individual medley Saturday with a world-record time.

Leading the way in the 100 back was American Kathleen Baker, who had the fastest time of 58.84. Also moving on were Emily Seebohm of Australia in second and Kylie Masse of Canada in third.

Olivia Smoliga of the U.S. advanced in sixth. Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe, silver medalist four years ago in London, made the semifinals in 11th place.

7 p.m.

The IOC says a total of 278 Russians have now been cleared to compete in the Rio de Janeiro Games.

The number is seven higher than the original figure announced Thursday. The new total takes into account Russian athletes who have since been entered after appeals.

The IOC let international sports federations decide which individual athletes could compete in the wake of evidence of state-sponsored doping. The IOC set up a three-person review panel to make the final call.

Among those reinstated for the games were several Russian swimmers, including world champion Yulia Efimova.

Thirty-five Russian swimmers are in Rio, the highest number of Russian athletes competing in a specific sport.

The Russian track team already had been banned by the IAAF. The entire weightlifting team also has been excluded.

6:40 p.m.

Rio Games organizers say long lines at airport-style security checkpoints prevented fans from getting into events, with scores of empty seats at some venues.

Organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada says the problem is being addressed. He's hopeful that lines will move quicker.

There were plenty of empty seats during the first couple days of competition at events like equestrian, handball and rugby.

There were scattered seats open early during the basketball game Saturday night between China and star-studded Team USA, usually one of the biggest draws of the Olympics.

Andrada said Sunday that 82 percent of tickets have been sold for the Games. He's hopeful lines will move quicker, and that they'll keep monitoring for problems.

He also says Brazilians are learning to appreciate sports other than soccer and football.

6:10 p.m.

Venus Williams will play doubles with her sister at the Olympics, after all.

U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Tom LaDue tells The Associated Press that Williams will be available for her doubles match Sunday despite being sick.

LaDue says Williams is feeling better, a day after U.S. women's tennis coach Mary Joe Fernandez said the four-time gold medalist and seven-time Grand Slam champion had cramping, dehydration and an upset stomach following a first-round loss in singles.

After that match Saturday night, Williams did not speak to reporters. Fernandez did, and she said Williams was still hoping to play doubles but had been ill since before arriving in Brazil.

Williams and her younger sister Serena have won three golds in doubles - at the 2000, 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

6pm

The entire Russia team has been banned from competing in the Paralympic Games in September as punishment for the country's systematic doping program.

The International Paralympic Committee's blanket ban on Russia is in sharp contrast to the earlier decision by the IOC to allow individual sports to decide whether Russians can compete in the Olympics.

The IPC has strongly condemned Russia's years of doping deception, including the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, that were exposed by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren last month.

McLaren reported that Russia's state-backed doping led to samples from Paralympic athletes being made to disappear.

Russia finished second in the medal standings at the 2012 London Paralympics and had 267 athlete slots for Rio in 18 sports.

5:40 p.m.

Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes is pleading with locals to share car rides until Aug. 21 so the city's already heavy traffic doesn't get worse during the Olympic Games.

Paes, who was silent since before the opening ceremony on Friday, went to Twitter to ask cariocas to avoid long distances on Monday, especially on public transportation.

Monday is the first working day in the city with the Games ongoing.

The mayor said that cariocas should join their friends and share rides. He insisted that without the collaboration of residents traffic will be difficult.

Last Friday was a public holiday and classes have been suspended citywide in the beginning of the month.

Despite his outspoken profile, Paes did not comment on the organization problems experienced by fans, journalists and residents on Saturday.

5:30 p.m.

There's no stopping 41-year-old gymnast Oksana Chusovitina.

Competing in her seventh Olympics - a record for a gymnast - Chusovitina put herself in position to make the vault final after averaging 14.999 during her two vaults at women's preliminaries on Sunday. The top eight qualifiers will advance to the event finals later in the games.

Chusovitina's first appearance in the games came 24 years ago in Barcelona, when she competed for the Russian Federated team. She now competes for her native Uzbekistan against girls the age of her 17-year-old son Alisher. Chusovitina says she tries not to think about the ever-growing age gap between herself and the rest of the field.

"Well, when I compete on the podium, if they gave a few more marks for the age, it would have been great," Chusovitina said. "Otherwise, well, we're all equal and we just have to compete against each other as equals."

Chusovitina said she would retire after failing to medal in London four years ago but kept on going. Even Alisher is wondering if his mom will ever stop. When he asked her recently if this was her final go-round, she joked "wait and see honey."

5:05 p.m.

Spanish cyclist Joaquim Rodriguez has announced his retirement after the Olympic road race.

Rodriguez said during the Tour de France that this would be his last season, but he confirmed on Twitter that the race through Rio De Janeiro was his last as a professional.

Rodriguez said he fulfilled a lifelong ambition by taking part in the Summer Games.

The 37-year-old Rodriguez won three stages of the Tour de France, twice reached the podium at the world championships and won several major one-day races, including La Fleche Wallonne in 2012.

Rodriguez finished fifth in Saturday's Olympic road race.

5:05 p.m.

Zhang Mengxue has won women's 10-meter air pistol at the Rio Olympics, continuing China's dominance in the event.

Zhang qualified sixth for the eight-person elimination finals and opened with three straight 9s with a field that seemed to struggle with nerves early. She steadied herself with a 10.8 on her fifth shot and took the lead after eight shots.

Zhang stretched her lead as the competition continued and all but locked up gold with a perfect 10.9 in the penultimate round. She finished with 199.4 points in the 20-round final, putting her 2.3 ahead of Russia's Vitalina Batsarashkina.

All three medals went to first-time Olympians after Anna Korakaki of Greece captured bronze.

Zhang's gold was China's fourth in the past five Games in air pistol. Guo Wenjun, the two-time defending gold medalist, struggled in qualifying and finished 30th.

5:05 p.m.

The start of play is delayed on the outer courts at the Olympic Tennis Center because of high winds.

Forty minutes after those matches were set to start, the only action was on Center Court where Germany's Dustin Brown was facing local favorite Thomaz Bellucci. Officials were inspecting the outer courts to ensure they were safe.

The delays were initially announced to be for 30 minutes then that was changed to an hour.

There were 20 mph winds at the Olympic Park with gusts up to 35 mph.

4:35 p.m.

The controversial Qatari handball team, composed mainly of naturalized players from other countries, has made its Olympic debut with a 30-23 win over Croatia.

Qatar has improved rapidly in handball in recent years after naturalizing a string of veteran players from mostly European countries, and reached the final of the world championship last year.

In its first-ever Olympic game Sunday against two-time gold medalist Croatia, the top scorer with 10 goals was Zarko Markovic, who played for his native Montenegro before switching to Qatar. Cuba-born player Rafael Capote also contributed six goals for Qatar.

The Qatari team is in Group A for the men's preliminaries alongside more established teams such as reigning Olympic champion France and 2012 European champion Denmark.

3:55 p.m.

Kenya's team at the Rio Olympics is promising it "will deal" with one of its athletics officials if allegations are proven that he offered to protect cheating athletes from drug testing.

James Chacha, deputy chief of the Kenyan team, said Michael Rotich could be on "the next available flight" of out Rio de Janeiro "if the allegations are true that he was actually asking for (a) bribe so that he can inform athlete(s) when the officers from anti-doping are coming."

The Sunday Times in London said the Kenyan track and field manager was secretly filmed offering to protect cheating athletes from drug testing authorities. It said he offered to provide advance warning of drugs tests in return for a £10,000 ($13,000) bribe during a Sunday Times undercover investigation.

3:40 p.m.

Injured French gymnast Samir Ait Said is back on his feet. Sort of.

A day after gruesomely breaking his leg while vaulting during men's Olympic preliminaries, Said posted a Facebook video from his hospital bed thanking people for the outpouring of support and pledging to return to the sport eventually.

Said underwent surgery on Saturday night to repair the tibea he fractured while trying to land on vault. The image of his leg bent grotesquely at a nearly 90 degree angle went viral immediately. Said praised his French teammates, some of whom managed to qualify for event finals later this week despite being visibly rattled after watching Said leave the Rio Olympic Arena on a stretcher.

Said says he's behind his pals who kept their act together after the fall.

He also says competing at the Tokyo Games in 2020 is still possible.

3:40 p.m.

Day 2 of the rowing competition has been canceled due to persistent high winds.

The start of racing was delayed on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon as race officials were waiting for winds to die down. But at 10:30 a.m. local time rowing officials announced there would be no racing on Sunday.

The rowing regatta is scheduled to end on Aug. 13, but is likely to be extended to Aug. 14 if the weather delays continue.

3:30 p.m.

Monumental upsets have been the theme of the Olympic fencing tournament so far.

Sunday's men's foil competition produced perhaps the biggest stunner yet.

Brazil's Guilherme Toldo, ranked just 66th in the world, beat No. 2 Yoki Ota of Japan 15-13 to advance to the round of 16. Toldo's win came a day after the top three fencers in women's epee were knocked out before the semifinals, paving the way for seventh-ranked Emese Szasz of Hungary to snatch gold.

Ota's defeat should make the path to potential gold easier for top-ranked American Alexander Massialas, who will attempt to give the U.S. its first Olympic win in his weapon.

3:20 p.m.

The fallout from the chaotic men's Olympic road race continued Sunday, even as the women were arriving at Copacabana Beach for their shot at the long, brutal cycling course.

Colombian rider Sergio Henao fractured his iliac crest, the upper portion of the pelvis, when he crashed while trailing leader Vincenzo Nibali on the final descent of the men's race Saturday.

Nibali's coach, Davide Cassani, said the Italian broke his collarbone in the fall.

Australia's Richie Porte broke his scapula during the race, taking him out of Wednesday's time trial. Britain's Geraint Thomas, Portugal's Nelson Oliveira and Dutch rider Wout Poels also went down during the race, though the three of them escaped major injury.

2:50 p.m.

Every athlete should have a fan as devoted as #OlympicNan.

The grandmother of British swimmer Adam Peaty has become a champion tweeter as she gushes about his achievements. With a Twitter biography that describes herself as "Proud Nan to a World Champion Breaststroker," she's quickly gaining followers who use the word "adorable" to describe her passion for Peaty.

When he broke the world record in the 100 meter breaststroke, his granny tweeted: "What race oooo I'm so proud he's a gladiator well done," and stamped it with the nation's flag.

Williams told the BBC on Sunday that she was alone during the race and that she "screamed for him. But my neighbor didn't mind."

She says "since I have been going to watch Adam it's given me a new life."

2:30 p.m.

The start of the second day of the rowing competition has been delayed by two hours due to strong winds on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon.

Race officials say the first heats of the day Sunday are now scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. local time.

Strong winds and choppy water made racing difficult on the first day Saturday, when Serbia's men's pair capsized halfway through their heat.

Windy conditions are expected to continue at least through Tuesday. The rowing regatta is scheduled to end on Aug. 13, but could be extended to Aug. 14 if needed.

2 p.m.

Serbia has advised its athletes competing at the Rio Olympics to withdraw from any medal award ceremonies if they have to share the podium with athletes from breakaway Kosovo.

Serbia has never recognized Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence from it.

Serbian Sports Minister Vanja Udovicic says Sunday on the state TV website that the final decision is up to the athletes themselves, while the government has issued only a recommendation. Udovicic concedes that the issue is "complex."

Kosovo was officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 2014. It has sent eight athletes to Rio, some of whom competed for Albania at the 2012 London Olympics.

Udovicic says Serbia's government didn't want to undermine its athletes but "we cannot listen to the (Kosovo) anthem and watch their flag."

1 p.m.

The American women are heavily favored to repeat as gold medalists in gymnastics in Rio de Janeiro - but the real drama will be which of the three Americans in the all-around gymnastics competition will miss out on the final.

That's because each country can enter just two competitors in the final, leaving Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman to battle for those two places.

The event starts with a subdivision that includes 41-year-old Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan, who will be competing in her seventh Olympics, a record for a gymnast. Her best chance to make an impact is reaching the vault finals, where she will compete against American Laurie Hernandez, among others.

The 16-year-old Hernandez was born as Chusovitina was planning to compete in her third Olympics in 2000.

At the Olympic Aquatic Center pool, Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, looks to add to his record 22 medals. He's expected to be back in the pool Sunday night for the medal round of the men's 4x100 relay.

American Katie Ledecky swims in semifinals in the women's 400 meter freestyle on Sunday - and the world record holder looks to be a lock for the final.
