The Podium: In Cycling’s time trial event, everything is planned. So when rain and a crash unexpectedly wiped out Chloe Dygert’s lead, she used her experiences of overcoming the worst to ride her way to a Bronze medal for Team USA.
In The Village: Brody Malone, Asher Hong and Stephen Nedoroscik make up part of the bronze medal-winning U.S. men’s gymnastics team. Despite bringing their own mattresses and enjoying three-star Michelin meals in the Village, the boys sat down for a fun talk on the carpet of an NBC Studio.
