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.

U.S. teams

Women's basketball: France gave the U.S. women a scare then turned into the frightened one.
