Top 5 moments from Day 4 at the Olympics

The fourth full day of events in Rio did not disappoint, providing plenty of memorable moments throughout Tuesday’s competition – some were golden, others were green. No matter what they looked like, though, those highlights became etched into Olympic history forever.

Here are the five best moments of the Games from Day 4:

1. Oldest U.S. Olympian snags an individual medal

Phillip Dutton is the oldest American competing at the 2016 Olympics at 52 years old. Age, however, is not something Dutton would ever let stand in his way.

A furious comeback on the final day of the equestrian individual sent him and his horse Mighty Nice into third place to capture bronze.

Competing in his sixth Games, the medal was Dutton’s first individual and his most recent since 2000 when he won gold in the team event with Australia. He is the oldest American to medal in 64 years and the first U.S. athlete to take an equestrian individual medal since 2008.

2. Women’s soccer team shows off youth in draw

Resting and rotating a number of starters, the U.S. women’s soccer team didn’t really get the result it wanted Tuesday. The Americans’ error-filled draw with Colombia, though, doesn’t set the star-studded squad back much since they were headed to the quarterfinals no matter what.

The biggest highlight of the match came just after the half when Mallory Pugh became the youngest U.S. women’s soccer player to score in Olympic history. Pugh is just 18 years old and won’t even enroll in college for another five months.

Her tally gave Team USA a 2-1 lead that would disappear after a match-tying free kick, but at least the whole country got a chance to see the future on display Tuesday afternoon.

3. Ledecky continues her dominance

Katie Ledecky didn’t pull away from the competition Tuesday night. She did, however, end the day with a smile on her face, holding another gold medal after hitting the wall just a half-second ahead of Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom in the 200-meter freestyle.

“It’s the closest I’ve come to throwing up at the end of a race,” Ledecky said afterward.

Despite the stress and drama, she held it all together to take her third career individual Olympic gold. The victory further establishes the 19-year-old as the sport’s most well-rounded, dominant female athlete.

The first-place finish gave Ledecky her third career individual Olympic gold. She is the clear favorite to win the 800-meter race later in the Games, which would give her victories in the 200-, 400- and 800-meter events.

4. Phelps gets his revenge

He pointed his fingers, he pumped his fist and he made it perfectly clear who had just taken the gold in dramatic fashion. It was Michael Phelps, and he was on top of the world. Again.

Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, was featured in a pair of races Tuesday evening, but one event in particular stood out – the 200-meter butterfly.

After narrowly losing to South Africa’s Chad le Clos in London four years ago, Phelps was out for revenge. He got it, and then some, as Le Clos didn’t even medal. It was the ultimate comeback for the 31-year-old, nabbing the 20th gold medal of his historic career. The internet proceeded to have a field day.

Just over an hour later, Phelps joined three of his American teammates – Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas and Ryan Lochte – to capture yet another gold in the 800-meter freestyle relay. The bigger storyline, though, was already filed away in history, and Phelps’ trophy case might need yet another Olympic upgrade.

5. U.S. women’s gymnastics destroys the competition

There are few things that could overshadow Phelps’ 20th and 21st gold medals, but the U.S. women’s gymnastics team did just that on a night when the five superstar athletes built a commanding lead, never let up and revealed their team moniker once they captured the gold.

The “Final Five” of Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman were never in any real danger of missing out on gold Tuesday. Calling them talented is an understatement. Calling the meet a cakewalk is a disservice to the work they put in. In simplest terms, the women dominated, capturing the hearts of the U.S. and rave reviews from the competition.

“We will never beat them,” said Netherlands gymnast Celine van Gerner. “I don’t know if it’s possible anymore.”

It certainly wasn’t possible in 2016. No chance.
