    The star-studded US men's basketball team have cruised into the last four at the Paris Olympics


    They've eased past Brazil 122 to 87 - setting up semifinal against Serbia, who edged Australia in overtime.

    France and Germany meet in the other semi, after winning their respective quarterfinals.

    Meanwhile - women's 100 metre champion Julien Alfred has missed out on double gold - beaten by American Gabby Thomas in the 200 metre final.
