Olympics-Gymnastics-Canada's Dolci gets second chance on bar after equipment malfunctionPARIS (Reuters) -Canadian gymnast Felix Dolci got a second chance to perform his entire horizontal bar routine in the men's all-around final at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday after an equipment malfunction sent him flying off the apparatus. Still lying on the mat, Dolci was examined by team staff before he walked away from the area, holding his snapped handgrip up to the crowd and showing off his badly bruised hand. Wearing a new grip on his right hand, Dolci mounted the bar again but suffered another crash landing while attempting the Kolman release-and-catch element.

Novak Djokovic is into the Paris Olympics quarterfinals. Russia's Daniil Medvedev losesNovak Djokovic is back in the Summer Games singles quarterfinals for the fourth time in five appearances at the Olympics. Djokovic, a 37-year-old from Serbia who is the top-seeded man in Paris, needed a bit of time to assert himself Wednesday before taking control with a five-game run for a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Dominik Koepfer of Germany. A top player on the other half of the men's bracket, 2021 U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev — a Russian who, like everyone from his country, must compete under the label “Individual Neutral Athletes,” identified by the French acronym AIN — exited with a 6-3, 7-6 (5) loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada.
