USA saber fencer Daryl Homer takes the silver, losing 15-8 to defending Olympic champion Aron Szilagyi of Hungary. Homer is the first American man to medal in fencing since Peter Westbrook took bronze in 1984. The last American men's silver was Joe Levis in 1932. The last American man to win gold? 1904, Albertson Van Zo Post.
I see they have long sleeves on tonight....That does look a little funky I agree.
Very nice Josh.....Congrats!

Missy Franklin's struggles continue in Rio. She will not swim in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay after she didn't have a fast enough time in prelims for her coaches to put her in the lineup for the evening final. She could still earn a medal with other prelim swimmers who didn't make the final lineup. Allison Schmitt, Maya DiRado, Leah Smith and Katie Ledecky will swim tonight.
U.S. Men's Basketball Team Holds Off Australia, Stays Unbeaten In Rio.
Carmelo Anthony and Kyrie Irving had the answers in the first test for the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team.
Anthony scored 31 points on the night he became the U.S. men's Olympic career scoring leader, combining with Irving for all of the Americans' baskets in the fourth quarter of a 98-88 victory over Australia on Monday night.
Kevin Durant capped off the scoring with two free throws, making him the only other player than Irving or Anthony to score in the period.
Irving -- born in Australia -- added 19 points, including a 3-pointer with 1:35 left after Australia had closed within four.
A U.S. team that had won its first two games without breaking a sweat trailed early in the fourth quarter before Anthony hit a flurry of 3-pointers to put the Americans on top.
Patty Mills scored 30 points for Australia.
