YOKOHAMA, Japan – Gators competed in Olympic soccer, baseball, and track & field today.
Men's & Women's Track & Field
Gators Standouts Will Claye (USA) and Joseph Fahnbulleh (Liberia) moved on to the next round of competition in their respective events Monday inside Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.
Fahnbulleh, who made his Olympic debut in the 200 meters, earned an automatic qualification after finishing second in heat five and 12th overall with a time of 20.46 [-0.7] seconds. The 2021 NCAA champion will compete in the 200 meters semifinals Tuesday at 7:50 a.m. E.T. (Live Stream).
Meanwhile, Claye advanced in the triple jump, finishing fourth with a mark of 16.91 meters (55 feet, 5.75 inches). A two-time triple jump Olympic silver medalist, Claye will compete in the final round Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET. The event can be streamed live here.
Other Gators performances from Monday included Hakim Sani Brown (Japan), who finished 44th in the 200 meters with a time of 21.41 [+0.9], in addition to Marija Vucenovic (Serbia) who logged a mark of 58.93 meters (193 feet, 4 inches) in the javelin to finish in 20th place.
Gators Greats Grant Holloway (USA) and Eddie Lovett (Virgin Islands) will get things going in the 110-meter hurdles qualifying Tuesday morning. The race is scheduled for at 6:10 a.m. ET and can be streamed live here.
Baseball (USA)
Team USA dropped Monday morning's quarterfinal game to Group-A winner Japan in 10 innings by a 7-6 score. The United States will now play on Tuesday, Aug. 3 at 11 p.m. ET against either Israel or the Dominican Republic.
In the United States' opening game of knockout play, Mark Kolozsvary broke out with a 3-for-5 day at the plate. Once again starting at catcher and batting seventh in the Team USA order, Kolozsvary drove in former major leaguer Todd Frazier with an RBI single to left field to tie the game up at 2-2 in the fourth inning.
Kolozsvary added an infield single in the fifth inning to cap off the three-hit performance. Through the first-three games of Olympic play, the former Gators standout has caught all 28 innings for the Team USA pitching staff.
Despite the loss, Team USA remains in the hunt for a gold medal at Tokyo 2020. If the Stars and Stripes win Tuesday night's consolation-bracket game, they would advance to play in the tournament semifinals on Aug. 5 with the chance to compete for gold with another victory.
With a loss on Tuesday, Team USA would see their pursuit of Olympic gold come to a close. In that scenario, the United States would then play in the bronze-medal game on Aug. 6.
