PARIS – Georgia rising junior Aaliyah Butler returned to the track Friday at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.

 

 

 

 

Track & Field

  • Aaliyah Butler ran the third leg of Team USA’s first-round 4×400-meter relay as the Americans placed first with a time of 3:21.44. The United States finished more than three seconds ahead of its next closest competition and will race for a gold medal on Saturday at 3:14 p.m. EDT.
  • Marie-Therese Obst will cap off Georgia’s final field event of Paris 2024 on Saturday when she competes in the women’s javelin final at 1:40 p.m. EDT.

Volleyball

  • Georgia Volleyball Director of Operations and Team USA Technical Coordinator David Dantes won the bronze medal with the men’s volleyball team on Friday. Team USA swept Italy in straight sets (25-23, 30-28, 26-24) to win the bronze medal.

Coming Up Saturday

 

 

 

 

  • Croix Bethune and the United States women’s soccer team face Brazil in the gold medal match on Saturday at 11 a.m. EDT in Paris. The match will air live on NBC and Peacock. Bethune has not appeared on the main roster during the knockout round but is eligible for a medal after appearing in group play against Australia.
