RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Latest on the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):12:15 a.m.Michael Phelps has earned the 19th gold medal of his career, helping the United States win the 4x100-meter freestyle relay at the Rio Olympics.Phelps tk the second leg after Caeleb Dressel led off for the Americans, and it was another memorable performance at a distance that isnt Phelps specialty. His split of 47.12 seconds gave the Americans a lead they never relinquished. In fact, it was a faster time than all but the three anchors on the medal-winning teams.Ryan Held protected the top spot before handing off to Nathan Adrian, the top sprinter in America. It was never really in doubt at that point, as Adrian touched first in 3 minutes, 9.92 seconds. Defending Olympic champion France tk the silver in 3:10.53, while Australia rallied for the bronze in 3:11.37.---12:10 a.m.Brazils dream of winning a soccer gold medal is quickly turning into a nightmare.Brazil drew its second consecutive game at the Olympic tournament Sunday, being held by Iraq to a 0-0 draw and hearing more loud jeers from the home fans.The result in Brasilia leaves Brazil tied for second place in Group A, in need of a victory in the final game, against Denmark on Wednesday in Salvador, to advance to the next round and avoid another embarrassing elimination at home two years after the 7-1 loss to Germany at the World Cup.Neymar, the tournaments biggest star, played below expectations for the second straight game, and young strikers Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus also struggled.Upset fans chanted Marta, Marta, in reference to the five-time world player of the year who has been thriving with the womens national team.---12 a.m.MEDAL ALERT: Michael Phelps and the United States have captured gold in the mens 4x100-meter freestyle relay at the Rio Olympics.

No problem there.Ledecky kicked off the first wall with a lead of nearly a body length and steadily pulled away from the overmatched field -- as well as the world-record line superimposed on the video screen as her powerful arms churned through the water.When Ledecky saw the time -- 3 minutes, 56.46 seconds -- she let out an uncharacteristic scream and pumped her right fist. The 19-year-old crushed the mark of 3:58.37 that she set nearly two years ago on the Gold Coast of Australia, and had been chasing ever since.---11:20 p.m.Juan Martin del Potro is back.Top-ranked Novak Djokovic was swept out of the Olympic mens singles tennis tournament in the first round Sunday by the 2009 U.S. Open champion 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2). Because of three left wrist surgeries, del Potro is ranked just 145th in the world. But when the Argentine is healthy and smacking his signature forehand around the court, his play is worthy of the gold medal match.It was a raucous atmosphere in the last match of the night on center court, where del Potro fans chanted for him and Brazilians would try to drown out their rivals with cheers for Djokovic.With the loss, Djokovic is still left seeking his first Olympic gold medal.---11:15 p.m.Another day, another world record for Britains Adam Peaty at the Rio Olympics.Peaty tk gold in the mens 100-meter breaststroke Sunday night with a time of 57.13 seconds, shattering the mark of 57.55 he set one day earlier in the preliminaries.Peaty cruisied away from Cameron va der Burgh of South Africa, the defending Olympic champion who tk silver this time in 58.69.The bronze went to Cody Miller of the United States, whose time of 58.87 held off teammate Kevin Cordes.The crowd at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium went into frenzy at the sight of two Brazilians in the final.

She sat on the edge of the deck, pumping her arms in the air, and then appeared to be overcome by tears as she climbed to her feet.This was her first Olympic medal, after she finished fourth in the 100 fly at the London Games four years ago, missing out on the bronze by just 23-hundredths of a second.It was the fourth swimming world record of the Rio Games.Penny Oleksiak of Canada tk the silver in 56.46, edging out defending Olympic champion Dana Vollmer.
