Carolina Marin Withdraws Due to Knee Injury

Scottie Scheffler triumphed in the Olympic golf tournament in Paris, capturing the gold medal after a dramatic final round where he shot a course record-tying 62, besting Britain's Tommy Fleetwood. The world No. 1 golfer was visibly emotional, shedding tears during the national anthem as he celebrated his victory, which makes him the first golfer to win Olympic gold while ranked No. 1. In men's tennis, Carlos Alcaraz, only 21, secured a silver medal after losing to Novak Djokovic, who delivered a dominant performance, marking a significant milestone in Djokovic's career. Meanwhile, tragedy struck badminton champion Carolina Marin, who suffered a severe knee injury just 11 points from the finish line of her semi-final match against China's He Bingjao, leading her to retire in tears. Despite leading 21-14, 10-5, Marin's injury halted her path to defending her title, echoing her previous setback in Tokyo 2021. The emotional scenes in both sports highlight the intense pressure and stakes of the Olympic Games.
