Hey, everybody.

Katie Hoff here with Yahoo Sports here to give you all the recaps from Paris.

We had a very exciting Friday.

First up, we had the men's 200.

I am featuring none other than Leon Marchand and he became the first French Olympian to win four gold medals in one Olympic Games.

I can't help you guys understand the crowd noise when he walks out.

It is so fun to be a part of 15,000 fans felt like 100 and 50,000 fans.

Awesome.

Next up, we had the men's 50 freestyle and I have to say I have never seen a final so tight between third place and eight places.

It was 8 1/100 of a second.

So imagine you get last in the heat and you're 81 hundreds away from getting on the podium.

We had our very own Kale Dressel finishing sixth in that heat.

And then finally, we had the women's 200 m backstroke.

We had Kaylee mcewan winning gold in a very tight race with Reagan Smith.

She actually broke Missy Franklin's Olympic record our very own Missy Franklin Olympic record from 2012.

So Missy held that record for 12 years, which is insanely impressive.

And then we had Reagan getting on the podium with a silver medal for the third time this week.

So awesome.

Awesome Friday.
