REMEMBERING THE '99ERS
As the USA and Sweden battle in extra-time, it's worth remembering one of the greatest moments in football history when Brandi Chastain and the USA defeated China to win the FIFA World Cup in 1999.
The next generations of players celebrated those World Cup champions as the 99ers, their legacy inspiring thousands of girls and young women to play soccer — football, that is — in North America.
ROARING FOR GREAT BRITAIN

WORLD-RECORD WIN LEFT AYANA 'IN AWE'
Almaz Ayana set the first world record in athletics in the first race at Rio 2016. The Ethiopian long-distance runner laid down a time of 29 minutes, 17.45 seconds in the women's 10,000m and said she was awe-struck.
"This means everything for me. God is the one that got me here. It's a huge deal for me," she said. "Getting to this point is a dream come true. I never thought that this would happen and I'm so in awe. I'm very happy to get here.
"I have worked very hard. I wouldn't say that my recent training has been any different from before but it was hard and it was all worth it."

IT DOESN'T GET BIGGER THAN HEAVYWEIGHT TEDDY RINER
France's Teddy Riner, widely considered the most successful judoka of all time with eight world championships, four European titles and Olympic gold from London 2012, has advanced to the semi-finals in the men's 100kg judo competition at Carioca Arena 2.
He defeated Brazilian hopeful Rafael Silva in the quarter-finals, giving a master class in offence and defence by winning with a single throw since Silva did not score. He meets Israel's Or Sasson in the semi-final. The men's 100kg final is later tonight, at an unspecified time because competition depends on the length of the qualifying bouts.
Riner has won his last 54 matches, a winning streak that dates to 2010.
