Telegraf is at the scene and our reporter had the opportunity to speak to Steve Kerr, the head coach of the US team, a favorite to win the gold.

Kerr was asked, among other things, to comment on the assassination attempt carried out against former US President Donald Trump late last night, and he was visibly upset.

"I found out in a family group chat, they started talking about it at 5:30 in the morning... 'Wait, what?' That's how I found out. Of course, we immediately went to different news sites to find out what happened. It was a terrible, sad spectacle. Two people dying. It was such a demoralizing day for our country.

It's yet another example not only of political division but gun culture. A 20-year-old tried to shoot a former president. It's hard to process everything and it's scary to think about where this goes, because of the issues that already exist in the country. This is a terrible day," said Steve Kerr.
