It’s the middle of the final week of the Paris Olympics, and the competition hasn’t slowed down. The U.S. struck gold twice on the track Tuesday night. It's the first big win for sprinter Gabby Thomas in the 200m race followed by a shock gold for Cole Hocker in the 1500m, where he upset two big favorites. Also, there were more rumblings in wrestling and boxing.

NPR's Becky Sullivan reports from Paris.
