Stars Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky and Suni Lee all made the podium on a big Day 6 for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The United States maintained their spot atop the medal standings in Paris with seven total podium finishes across four different sports on Thursday. The Americans picked up medals in fencing, gymnastics, rowing and swimming.
Team USA also moved up to second place in the gold medal race with four Olympic titles, giving them nine total for the 2024 Games. China leads the way with 11 golds, while Australia, France and Japan each have eight.
Here's a full look back at those U.S. medal triumphs and other top moments from Day 6:
Simone Biles reclaims all-around gold, Suni Lee takes bronze
Simone Biles is back on top. The superstar American gymnast reclaimed gold in the women's individual all-around event with a total score of 59.131, beating out repeat silver medalist Rebeca Andrade of Brazil (57.932).
Biles, the most-decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, opened with a dazzling showing on vault (15.766), where she landed the Yurchenko double pike, and she secured gold with a stunning floor exercise (15.066). The Spring, Texas, native became just the third woman to win individual all-around gold twice -- and the first to do so eight years apart.
At 27, Biles is also the oldest woman's individual all-around winner since Maria Gorokhovskaya won at age 30 in 1952.

Kate Douglass gets her first gold in 200m breaststroke
Kate Douglass already had one silver and one bronze medal in her Olympic career. Now, she has that elusive gold as well.

The triumph earned the U.S. its first rowing medal since the 2016 Rio Games, its first men's rowing gold since the 2004 Athens Games and its first men's four gold since the 1960 Rome Games. Each member of the men's four team is a first-time Olympic medalist.
Katie Ledecky becomes most-decorated US female Olympian
Another day, another historic triumph for Katie Ledecky. The star American swimmer teamed up with Erin Gemmell, Paige Madden and Claire Weinstein to win silver in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay.
Team USA recorded its second straight runner-up finish in the event with a time of 7:40.86. Ariarne Titmus and Australia won the event over two seconds ahead of the Americans, finishing in 7:38.08.
Ledecky became the most-decorated American woman in Olympic history by winning her 13th medal, breaking a tie with Jenny Thompson, Dara Torres and Natalie Coughlin. The Bethesda, Maryland, native also now owns the second-most medals of any U.S. athlete in Olympic history, regardless of gender.
Ledecky's Paris medal haul includes one gold (1500m free), one silver and one bronze (400m free), and she'll have a shot to make more history when she competes in the 800m free on Saturday.
Madden, meanwhile, earned her second 4x200m free silver medal. It marked the first Olympic medal for both Gemmell and Weinstein.

Regan Smith picked up her second individual silver medal of the 2024 Olympics with a second-place finish in the women's 200m butterfly. The Lakeville, Minnesota, native posted an American-record time of 2:03.84, which was only topped by Canada's Summer McIntosh. McIntosh, 17, has two golds and one silver in Paris after setting an Olympic record in the 200m butterfly with a time of 2:03.03.
Smith, who also won silver in the 100m backstroke earlier in the Games, is now a five-time Olympic medalist.

Despite the highlight-reel score, the U.S. dropped to 1-2 in group play with a 13-11 loss. The Americans will next face Montenegro on Saturday.
