SAINT-DENIS, France — Sha’Carri Richardson’s comeback story hit a brick wall when Julien Alfred romped in the rain to the women’s 100-meter title in 10.72 seconds, bringing the first-ever Olympic medal to her island country of Saint Lucia.

Racing one lane to the left of Richardson, and with water from a fast-moving storm puddling on the purple track in the Stade de France, Alfred got off to a fantastic start, then powered through the rain and beat Richardson by .15 seconds.

It was the biggest margin in the women’s 100 final since 2008, when Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won by .20 to headline a Jamaican sweep.

Richardson’ training partner, American Melissa Jefferson, finished third in 10.92 seconds.

In the men’s shot put, Ryan Crouser earned his third straight gold medal, and U.S. teammate Joe Kovacs grabbed his third silver medal in a row.

Another silver went to the U.S. 1,600 mixed relay team, which got reeled in by Femke Bol of the Netherlands on the anchor lap.

Jasmine Moore won a bronze medal in the triple jump, setting herself up for a possible double when she competes in the long jump later in the Olympics.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Halfway to its goal of gold, the U.S. has the No. 1 seed going into the medal round.

Anthony Edwards scored 26 points, six players reached double figures for the U.S. and the Americans rolled past Puerto Rico, 104-83.

The Americans will play Brazil in the quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Joel Embiid scored 15 points for the U.S. Kevin Durant added 11, LeBron James finished with 10 points, eight assists and six rebounds in 18 minutes, and Jayson Tatum had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

SHOOTING: Vincent Hancock of the United States beat his student, Conner Prince, to capture his fourth Olympic gold medal in men’s skeet.

Hancock coaches Prince, a first-time Olympian, and shared a hug with his silver medal-winning student after making his last two shots to ensure the gold. He hit 58 out of 60 shots, to Prince’s 57.

Hancock is the only skeet shooter to take the Olympic gold more than once.

GOLF: Xander Schauffele erased a two-shot deficit with a 25-foot eagle putt, and Jon Rahm answered with a big putt of his own, setting up a star-heavy chase for the gold medal in Sunday’s final round.

Schauffele, the defending Olympic champion, and Rahm were at 14-under 199, tying the 54-hole Olympic record set by Schauffele at the Tokyo Games.

Tommy Fleetwood of Britain shot a 69 and was one shot behind. Hideki Matsuyama (71) was three behind along with Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard, who roared into contention with a 62.
