Hi, everyone.

Katie Ha, here with Yahoo Sports.

Here to give you all the takeaways from Paris.

So first up, we had the women's 100 m backstroke and it did not disappoint.

It has been talked about a lot.

It has been highly contested and these girls put on a show.

So we had Reagan Smith winning the silver medal for team USA.

This is actually now the second time she's made the podium as she is the bronze medalist from the Tokyo Olympic Games.

And then we had Catherine Burkhoff winning bronze rounding out the podium and now becoming a twin with her dad, David Berkoff as he has a silver and bronze medal in the 100 m backstroke from the 1988 Soul Games and the 1992 Barcelona Games.

So it clearly runs in the family.

Next up, we had the men's 800 m freestyle.

We had the reigning Olympic champion Bobby Fink in the race.

He did on the last 50.

What Bobby Fink always does.

He hunted down a lot of swimmers and he got his hand on the walls second, bringing home silver for team USA.

Finally, we had the men's four by 200 freestyle relay.

This was comprised of Luke Hobson, Carson Foster, Drew Kr and Kieran Smith.

The 800 freestyle relay is one where it's such a nail biter because it's a seven minute plus race.

And so it went back and forth and we were fighting with Great Britain and Australia.

And ultimately, we brought home silver for team USA.

So fantastic swims across the board any time we're getting on the podium and we're bringing home hardware.

It's incredible.
