RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Usain Bolt seeks to say his goodbye with another gold medal Friday night at the Rio de Janeiro Games, where another Olympic juggernaut – the U.S. men’s basketball team – faces Spain in the semifinals.
A day after winning another gold in the 200 meters, Bolt will appear in what he has insisted will be his final Olympic race. He’ll look to add to his medal stash as part of the Jamaican team in the 4×100 relay finals. Bolt led the Jamaicans to the top of the podium in the event in Beijing and again in London, where the team set the world and Olympic records.
While Bolt is saying goodbye, Ryan Lochte is saying he’s sorry.
Breaking his silence, Lochte apologized Friday for his behavior surrounding an early-morning incident at a Rio de Janeiro gas station, saying he should have been more candid about how he described what happened after a night of partying with his teammates following the final swimming races.
Day 14 of the Rio Games features medal action in track and field, soccer, wrestling, boxing, platform diving and more.
