    Cupping has taken Rio by storm, thanks to Michael Phelps. 

    Plus, Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky moved on from a golden Sunday, somewhat creakily in the case of the former, and returned to the Olympic pool in search of individual glory today. 

    South Korea’s world number one Kim Woo-jin was sent crashing out of the second round of the men’s individual archery at the Rio Olympics on Monday by unheralded Indonesian Riau Ega Agatha, sending shockwaves through the tournament.

    All this while Brazilian fans continue to boo foreign athletes at multiple events. Here’s our latest on that.

    And while you’re at it, enjoy our top photos from day 3 in Rio.
