CONNOR FIELDS

Colombian Mariana Pajon's long reign as queen was ended, and on a day in which several favorites were involved in crashes, Dutchman Niek Kimmann won men's gold.

Fields crashed last Friday during a semifinal heat at the Tokyo Olympics. He was rushed to a hospital's intensive care unit after he'd suffered a brain hemorrhage and broken rib.

United States BMX racer Connor Fields, who crashed and suffered a head injury during competition at the Tokyo Olympics, will be released from St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo on Thursday, Aug. 5.

The defending gold medalist crashed during a semifinal heat on Friday. He suffered a brain hemorrhage and a broken rib, and spent the night in intensive care.

Katie Ledecky made more history for the U.S. in the pool.

A message posted on Facebook said the 28-year-old, who crashed in the third run of his semi-final heat, was "cogent and communicative when awakened."

The reigning gold medalist slammed into the turn coming off a jump and was hit by two other riders.

Fields, who took gold in BMX racing at the 2016 Olympic Games, came down wrong from a jump and suffered a horrific crash. A Team USA doctor says Fields is stable and awaiting further evaluation.

The Tokyo Games got their first swimming individual world record and a fast start to the track competition on Day 7 of the Olympics.
