1) Ginny Thrasher, 10-Meter Air Rifle (Shooting) Setting an Olympic record with a score of 208.0, 19-year-old Ginny Thrasher won the women's 10-meter air rifle competition — the first gold medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games — on Aug. 6, 2016. 2) Katie Ledecky, 400-Meter Freestyle (Swimming) Katie Ledecky shattered her own world record in the 400-meter freestyle with a time of 3:56.46, nearly two seconds faster than her previous record, to win her first gold medal in Rio on Aug. 7, 2016. 3) Men's 4x100-Meter Freestyle (Swimming) After coming in second to France at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the U.S. men had something to prove in the 4x100-meter freestyle — and the team of Nathan Adrian, Ryan Held, Michael Phelps and Caeleb Dressel did just that, with a time of 3:09.92 to win Team USA's third gold in Rio on Aug. 7, 2016. In his first opportunity to medal at his fifth Games, it marked Phelps' 23rd career Olympic medal and 19th gold. 4) Ryan Murphy, 100-Meter Backstroke (Swimming) First-time Olympian Ryan Murphy kept Team USA's strong history in the 100-meter backstroke alive, earning gold with a time of 51.97 on Aug. 8, 2016, for Team USA's sixth straight Olympic win in the event. 5) Lilly King, 100-Meter Breaststroke (Swimming) Lilly King brought home Team USA's first gold in the women's 100-meter breaststroke since 2000 by setting an Olympic record with a time of 1:04.93 on Aug. 8, 2016. 6) Women's Gymnastics Team In Martha Karolyi's final year as the women's national team coordinator for USA Gymnastics, the Final Five team of Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman won gold in dominant fashion, beating second-place Russia by 8.209 points on Aug. 9, 2016. This is the first time the U.S. defended its team gold medal. 7) Katie Ledecky, 200-Meter Freestyle (Swimming) As a distance swimmer, Katie Ledecky was in fifth place 50 meters into the 200-meter freestyle, but the 19-year-old phenom pulled up to second at the 100-meter mark and in the end managed to edge out Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden to win her second gold in Rio on Aug. 9, 2016. 8) Michael Phelps, 200-Meter Butterfly (Swimming) After coming in second to South Africa's Chad le Clos at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Michael Phelps was determined to take back the 200-meter fly title that he earned in 2004 and 2008. He did so with a time of 1:53.36, narrowly beating second-place Masato Sakai of Japan (1:53.40) and third-place Tamas Kenderesi of Hungary (1:53.62) to win his first individual gold in Rio on Aug. 9, 2016. 9) Men's 4x200-Meter Freestyle (Swimming) Team USA has won a medal in every 4x200-meter freestyle since the event made its Olympic debut in 1908. The 2016 team of Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas, Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps kept with tradition, with Phelps anchoring the race just an hour after winning gold in the 200-meter fly on Aug. 9, 2016. 10) Kristin Armstrong, Time Trial (Road Cycling) A day before her 43rd birthday, four-time Olympian Kristin Armstrong won her third consecutive gold in the road cycling women's individual time trial, which she celebrated with her 5-year-old son, Lucas, on Aug. 10, 2016. She became the first cyclist to win gold in the same event three times and the oldest female cycling Olympic gold medalist.
