RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Tianna Bartoletta kicked off her country's whirlwind run of medals on the night. So, by all rights, she should get to name it.

Fittingly, the newly crowned Olympic long jump champion went with "Awesome Hour."In a span of about 60 minutes Wednesday night, U.S. athletes hauled in a bevy of medals: Bartoletta and Brittney Reese went 1-2 in the long jump, Tori Bowie captured a bronze in the 200 and Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin swept the medals in the 100-meter hurdles - a feat that's never been accomplished in that event.A banner evening, for sure. The nation entered the night with 13 medals and left the track with a total of 19 - five gold, seven silver, seven bronze."It was an awesome hour," Bartoletta said.She started things off by unseating Reese, the defending Olympic champion, in the long jump. Moments later, Bowie won her second medal in Rio by taking bronze in the 200 meters. Not long after that, the hurdlers made history. This was the seventh medals sweep by the U.S. track team in the Olympics and the 23rd for U.S. women in the history of the Summer Games.And yes, they realized what their fellow Americans were up to. Ali watched Bowie, her suitemate in Rio, bring home another medal as the hurdler waited to take the track.That fired Ali up. And then her hurdles teammates did the same thing."They smiled at me and were like, 'It's time. Do your part,"' Ali said. "I need to go out there and do my part. For Team USA, I knew it would be a great thing."How about this for an early birthday present: About an hour after the race Rollins turned 25."I tried to feed off all the positive energy from Team USA," Rollins said. "We were able to come out here and fulfill our dreams. It was an amazing opportunity. I was trying to enjoy each and every moment. I'm just happy to share the moment with Kristi and Nia."Brazil's celebrated men's soccer team rolled to a 6-0 win over Honduras in the semifinals Wednesday to earn a spot in the gold medal match.Brazil started the day 16th in the medal standings, with only three golds in the first 11 days. Two of the country's best chances remaining to reach the top of the podium competed on Wednesday. The men's soccer team survived, but Agatha and Barbara lost in the beach volleyball gold medal match to Germany.Empty seats have been prevalent across Rio, but not at the Maracana Stadium, where they packed in to watch Neymar and Co. They didn't have to wait long, with Neymar scoring 15 seconds into the game. It was the fastest goal in men's Olympic history, and Brazil led 3-0 going into halftime to cruise into the final."We don't want to disappoint the fans," Brazil midfielder Renato Augusto said. "They want us to play well and they want us to win the gold."Neymar added a goal on a penalty kick in stoppage time, and Gabriel Jesus also scored twice for Brazil, which got off to a slow start in the tournament. But the team picked up the pace and will face Germany, which beat Nigeria 2-0 in the other semifinal match. Germany's senior team trounced Brazil 7-1 in the semifinals of the World Cup in Rio two years ago.Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn became the first 18-hole leader in the history of women's golf in the Olympics. Jutanugarn shot 6-under 65 for a one-shot lead over seven-time major champion Inbee Park and Seiyoung Kim, both of South Korea. This is the first time for women's golf in the Olympics since the Paris Games in 1900, and back then it was only a nine-hole competition.Agatha and Barbara, the defending world champions, beat Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross in the semifinals on Tuesday night to reach the finals. But Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst dispatched them 21-18, 21-14, leaving Neymar as Brazil's only hope.THOMPSON'S TRIUMPH...

Thompson ended in a season's best 21.78 seconds. Bowie's bronze came in 22.15.BOLT'S BACK... Usain Bolt got out quickly in his 200 semifinal heat and started to coast down the final 40 meters. Canadian Andre de Grasse nipped at his heels, and the two laughed as Bolt crossed the finish line just ahead of him. Bolt finished in 19.78 seconds and de Grasse in 19.80 to advance to the final.BEACH BRONZE...
