Just like that, our pool days are behind us. Team USA dominated in the water throughout these Olympic Games. But on Sunday it was time to turn our attention to the track ... and the court ... and the pitch ... and the floor.
Monday morning brought with it the revelations that Simone Biles will compete in Tuesday's beam final, the U.S. women's basketball team is on to the quarterfinals, American Jade Carey is now a gymnastics gold medalist and the USWNT will not play for gold.

From Canada pulling the 1-0 upset on the U.S. women's soccer team to the American baseball team losing to Japan in extra innings (there was happy stuff too, we promise), here's all the action you might have missed:
Ace for America
Ideally, Lexi Thompson would have saved this for when it counts, but the American's hole-in-one on the 172-yard 10th hole of her Olympic practice round is still incredibly impressive. Maybe Thompson can run that back on Wednesday.

Timely penalty ends USWNT run at gold
The USWNT was dealt a blow in the first half when goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher left with a leg injury. Naeher was a rock star in goal in the quarterfinal match against the Netherlands.
In the second half, Canada got all of one shot on goal. The Canadians made it count. After being awarded a penalty kick, Jessie Fleming scored the game's lone goal and sent Canada to the gold-medal game.

In the bottom of the tenth, with runners on second and third, Japanese catcher Takuya Kai singled in the winning run.

World champion Sifan Hassan made an incredible recovery from a fall at the final bell to win her 1,500-meter heat. Hassan picked herself up after getting in a tangle with Kenyan runner Edinah Jebitok at the start of the last lap. She sped around the outside of the pack on the back straight and ended up crossing the line first in 4 minutes, 5.17 seconds to qualify for the semifinals.

The only American to compete in the final of the long jump was JuVaughn Harrison, who finished fifth. He also competed in the high jump and finished seventh. He's the first American man to compete in both at the Olympics since Jim Thorpe in 1912.

Asked what that meant, she explained: "It's the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet."
