Katinka Hosszu, who took Rio by storm by winning three golds in her first three events, just barely missed out on a fourth in the 200m backstroke. Hosszu finished in 2:06.05, good for a silver medal behind American swimmer Maya DiRado. Hosszu's four individual medals are the most any Trojan has ever collected in a single Olympics and the most overall medals a Trojan has earned since swimmer John Naber netted five (three individually, two on relays) in 1976.
Steve Johnson started the day with a close loss to defending Olympic gold-medalist Andy Murray in singles, but bounced back to win a bronze medal in doubles with partner Jack Sock later in the day. Johnson and Sock defeated the Canadian pair of Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil, 6-2, 6-4. In his Olympic debut, Johnson became the first Trojan tennis player to bring home an Olympic medal since 1968.
