Where the countries stand in Rio.
Australia and Hungary are tied atop the gold medal count as the second day of the 2016 Summer Olympics gets going in Rio de Janeiro. The United States, China and Japan are tops with five total medals, though USA and Japan each have just one gold and China has none.
The United States had a strong Saturday in the swimming pool, winning three medals. All were silver: the women's team in the 4x100m relay race (won by Australia), Chase Kalisz in the men's 400m individual medley (won by Japan's Kosuke Hagino) and Maya DiRado in the women's 400m IM (won by Hungary's Katinka Hosszu). The American swimmers didn't enter any of those races as the favorites, and they had good swims to earn their silvers.
The only American gold medal so far comes from the 10m air rifle. West Virginia University freshman Virginia Thrasher put the United States on the board with a close win against China's Du Li. 
The United States has a handful of chances to add to its count on Sunday. Heading into all of that, here's the medal count on Sunday morning:

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

The Zipless, First-Person Violence of “Hardcore Henry”

The movie’s hyperkinetic action was shot using tiny GoPros. CREDIT STX ENTERTAINMENT / COURTESY EVERETT Raised from a watery chamber resembling a womb, Henry, a full-grown man, looks out on the world as if for the first time. Viewers see Henry’s world through his own eyes (which is how all of “Hardcore Henry” is made), and his prospects seem circumscribed. Henry finds himself in a hospital-like setting; he’s unable to speak, and he’s missing an arm and a leg. In short order, however, a medical professional named Estelle (Haley Bennett) fits him with high-tech prostheses, which she snaps into place, attaches to his body, and covers with a coating of his own skin. Henry is also suffering from memory loss, and Estelle reminds him of one detail: they’re husband and wife. When armed invaders breach the operating room, Henry discovers what Estelle already knew—that they’re someplace in the sky, inside an airplane—and husband and wife clamber through vents to reach a conveniently located ...
