Women’s basketball has struggled for years to be taken as seriously as the men’s sport, and although there are many reasons that shouldn’t be the case, Team USA’s track record at the Olympics may be the most compelling argument yet. The US women’s basketball team has won more Olympic gold medals than any other nation,

With every Olympic Games, athletes seem to keep us on the edge of our seat, patiently waiting to witness history. And somehow, despite the mounting pressure, Team USA continues to deliver, not just in terms of their athletic ability, but also in their spirit, resilience, and pure determination. From powerful protests to unbelievable comebacks, there

A squad of American women, led by veteran Allyson Felix, raced to the top of the podium in the women’s 4x400m relay during the final day of competition at the Tokyo Olympics. Team USA has now won the event in seven consecutive Olympics, starting with the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Sydney McLaughlin, who won gold

There have been a lot of moments to celebrate at the Tokyo Olympics, but this one is particularly historic. Quinn, a midfielder for the Canadian women’s soccer team, is now the first openly transgender and nonbinary athlete to medal at the Olympics. Even before Canada’s final match against Sweden, Quinn was set to make history.

Molly Seidel just made her third career marathon count. The 27-year-old American shocked a stacked field by winning bronze at the 2021 Olympics, becoming the third American woman to medal in the Olympic marathon as she finished behind gold medalist Peres Jepchirchir and silver medalist Brigid Kosgei, both of Kenya. In extremely hot and humid

Six-time Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix, 35, won a bronze medal in the 400-meter final on Friday at the Tokyo Olympics, with a time of 49.46 seconds.

It’s beach volleyball gold for Team USA’s April Ross and Alix Klineman! The “A Team” defeated Australians Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy in a match they controlled from the start, looking every bit the dominant competitors who went undefeated in seven matches in Tokyo. In fact, Ross and Klineman only dropped one set

Let me paint a picture of something you may have experienced: you’re relaxing on the couch when your stomach starts to growl. You realize you’re hungry — and maybe you have been for a while — so you head to the pantry for something to eat. But when you stand up, you feel another sensation:

Join Deja Riley and her brother, Quinn, for a fun, all-ages kickboxing workout that’s a perfect way to get the whole family moving!

When Sydney McLaughlin crossed the finish line in Tokyo on Wednesday, having won her first Olympic gold medal in the women’s 400-meter hurdles in world record time (51.46), the first thing she did was turn to hug the athlete who’d finished just behind her. That would be Dalilah Muhammad, the 2016 gold medal winner, 2019

Gym memberships are wonderful. They give you access to kick-butt equipment like the Stairmaster, kettlebells, and stability balls. But these memberships can be costly on your bank account. Even apps like Zeamo and FlexIt, which can cut the cost by letting you pay per minute at a wide range of facilities (in FlexIt’s case) and

Even though leggings get workout love year-round, it’s tempting to seek out a little less fabric when temperatures rise. And, while there are plenty of moisture-wicking tops and bottoms of all lengths, it’s also hard to beat shorts in the heat. Since summer’s in full swing, and our fitness plans have us both indoors and

Olympic gymnasts aren’t the only ones with a dazzling sense of style. On Aug. 2, day 10 of the Olympic Games, Mexican synchronized swimming duo Nuria Diosdado and Joana Jiménez García pulled out all the stops with their embellished leotards, which included a subtle but heartfelt nod to one of our favorite early 2000s TV

The US Olympic women’s basketball team is competing for their seventh consecutive — and ninth overall — Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, and while the team’s roster is stacked with talent, first-time Olympian A’ja Wilson has been a standout throughout the tournament.

We all know Simone Biles has won a lot of medals on both the national and international level, but just how many Olympic medals could she rack up when she competes again in Tokyo? The answer is staggering. Although Simone has only competed at one Olympics so far (the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro),

We’ve been wearing and buying masks for over a year now, and the majority of our purchases have been reusable cloth masks. We’ve been double masking or using masks with filter pockets (and filters!) for extra coverage. If you are interested in taking it one step further but can’t find any N95 masks, you can

When Gabby Thomas casually put up the third-fastest 200m time ever at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, we knew we had a new track star to keep our eye on in Tokyo. Thomas ran her first Olympic heat on Sunday, easily moving on with a second-place finish, and we (and the rest of the
