Nearly 100 gold medals have already been awarded in the first week of the 2024 Paris Olympics, producing no shortage of unforgettable winners and tough-luck losers.

If you're just now catching that Olympic fever, though, allow us to get you caught up on some of the biggest happenings and stories at what is roughly the midpoint of these Summer Games.

Unapologetically, most of our focus is on the Team USA side of things. But fear not, international readers. Incredible performances from Europe, Asia and Australia will be highlighted among the winners, too.

Winners and losers are presented in no particular order, but you know we've got to start with the Golden Girls.

Winner: The Golden Girls

For the U.S. women's gymnastics team, the originally stated nickname of F Around and Find Out was...underwhelming.

A far cry from the Magnificent Seven in 1996. Or the Final Five in 2016. And maybe not the best for sharing with small children.

However, the updated nickname of Golden Girls gets a perfect 10.0 for execution.

In a sport historically dominated by teenagers—the oldest member of Italy's silver medal-winning team turned 21 in February—Team USA's women are comparatively old ladies.

Hezly Rivera is the exception to that rule at 16 years old, but she didn't actually compete in the team event. It was 21-year-old Suni Lee, 23-year-old Jordan Chiles, 24-year-old Jade Carey and the 27-year-old GOAT Simone Biles on all the apparatuses.

Age is just a number, though, and the Golden Girls racked up some incredible numbers to secure a gold medal that was never in doubt.

Not only did they have the highest overall score by a margin of nearly six points, but they had the highest team score on each of the four apparatuses, too.

Biles didn't even attempt her most difficult vault, but they still lapped the field in that department, sticking landing after landing throughout the event.

The only minor hiccup came in the balance beam, when Chiles fell right at the beginning of her routine. She hopped back up and did a masterful job the rest of the way, though.

This was the ninth consecutive Olympics in which the U.S. women medaled in team gymnastics, with golds coming in each of 1996, 2012, 2016 and now 2024.

Then, in the individual all-around on Thursday, the Golden Girls got some more hardware.

Biles gave everyone a scare with a slight mishap on the uneven bars in the second of the four rotations, but she had the highest score of anyone on vault, the highest score of anyone on beam and the highest score of anyone on floor, ultimately winning by a landslide over Brazil's Rebeca Andrade.

And behind Andrade for bronze?

Lee, who won the all-around in Tokyo three years ago.

Loser: The Nerd Stereotype

Remember those dumb teen movies from the '90s like She's All That where the undesirable, nerdy, artsy girl suddenly becomes a stone-cold fox simply by taking off her glasses and letting her hair down?

Or how about Family Matters, when Jaleel White would step into a machine and transform from klutzy dork Steve Urkle into heartthrob Stefan Urquelle?

That.

That's what pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik provided in anchoring USA's first medal in the men's gymnastics team event since 2008.

With pommel horse coincidentally selected as the sixth and final apparatus for Team USA, the broadcast fixated on Nedoroscik for quite literally hours, knowing it could all come down to the bespectacled electrical engineer who can solve Rubik's cubes in under 10 seconds.

And when it did, he took off his glasses and absolutely crushed it.

The margin between USA for bronze and Great Britain in fourth place ended up being so wide (2.266 points) that Nedoroscik just about could have fallen off the pommel horse altogether and it wouldn't have made a difference. However, his 14.866 score was tied for the second-highest of any gymnast on pommel horse that day, and was the highest score that any American scored on any apparatus that day.

That's how you become a cult hero.

Nedoroscik wasn't the only nerd-turned-medalist, either. The next day, Ireland's Daniel Wiffen won gold in the men's 800m freestyle event before swapping out his goggles for glasses, holding his gold medal on the podium like Harry Potter celebrating catching the golden snitch.

Nothing but love, to be clear. I watched both events while wearing glasses, in a room with my applied mathematics degree, mindlessly playing on a phone with an extensive Pokémon GO collection.

Three cheers for representation, which all jokes aside, is a pretty big deal. Getting called a nerd as an adult is frankly more of a compliment than an insult, but it has had a polar opposite impact in the middle/high school age for decades. Seeing Nedoroscik as quite literally one of the best in the world at something incredibly athletic is kind of awesome.

Winner: Ilona Maher, Alex 'Spiff' Sedrick and US Women's Rugby Sevens Squad

We expect American stars to emerge from a handful of select Olympic disciplines every four years.

Swimming, gymnastics and track & field are the big three.

Perhaps beach volleyball or the occasional cyclist.

But women's rugby sevens?

That's a new one.

The sport had its glow-up in the USA this week, though, thanks to Ilona Maher and her Derrick Henry-like ability to either plow through or stiff arm into oblivion her would-be tacklers.

Maher scored a try in each of Team USA's three matches in pool play and continued to deliver bone-crushing hits into the knockout portion of the tournament, playing a colossal role in getting the Americans into a position for their first Olympic medal in Rugby Sevens in either gender.

It was Alex 'Spiff' Sedrick, though, who delivered the most unforgettable moment in the bronze-medal match against heavy favorite Australia.

Down 12-7, backed up against their own goal line with no time left on the clock, it looked like they were toast. They had to score on that possession and had to go the length of the field to make it happen. So Sedrick put the team on her back, breaking not one, not two, but three tackles before breaking loose and outrunning everyone for the game-tying try and eventual winning conversion.

It was a Music City Miracle type of moment that won't be forgotten anytime soon.
