          Just like that, our pool days are behind us. Team USA dominated in the water throughout these Olympic Games. But on Sunday it was time to turn our attention to the track ... and the court ... and the pitch ... and the floor.

          Monday morning brought with it the revelations that Simone Biles will compete in Tuesday's beam final, the U.S. women's basketball team is on to the quarterfinals, American Jade Carey is now a gymnastics gold medalist and the USWNT will not play for gold.

          From Canada pulling the 1-0 upset on the U.S. women's soccer team to the American baseball team losing to Japan in extra innings (there was happy stuff too, we promise), here's all the action you might have missed:

          Ace for America

          Ideally, Lexi Thompson would have saved this for when it counts, but the American's hole-in-one on the 172-yard 10th hole of her Olympic practice round is still incredibly impressive. Maybe Thompson can run that back on Wednesday.

          Timely penalty ends USWNT run at gold

          The USWNT was dealt a blow in the first half when goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher left with a leg injury. Naeher was a rock star in goal in the quarterfinal match against the Netherlands.

          In the second half, Canada got all of one shot on goal. The Canadians made it count. After being awarded a penalty kick, Jessie Fleming scored the game's lone goal and sent Canada to the gold-medal game.

          Knockout stage in baseball

          Team USA baseball faced top-seeded Japan in the knockout stage. The Americans built a lead before the host Japanese forced extra inning with an RBI infield single in the bottom of the ninth.

          In the bottom of the tenth, with runners on second and third, Japanese catcher Takuya Kai singled in the winning run.

          France tests Team USA in final game of group

          A'ja Wilson led the way for Team USA with 22 points and six rebounds during a 93-82 win over France in the final game of the group stage. Wilson made 9 of 12 shots.

          All of Team USA's bigs played well. Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Brittney Griner and Tina Charles all scored in double digits.

          France took a 72-71 lead over the United States with just over nine minutes to go. Then the U.S. took over, ending the game on a 22-10 run.

          The U.S. finishes the group stage unbeaten and advances to the quarterfinals.

          Trip, fall, win

          World champion Sifan Hassan made an incredible recovery from a fall at the final bell to win her 1,500-meter heat.

She sped around the outside of the pack on the back straight and ended up crossing the line first in 4 minutes, 5.17 seconds to qualify for the semifinals.

Asked what that meant, she explained: "It's the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet."
