were closed for swimming this weekend
due to dangerously high bacteria levels or cyanobacteria blooms,
according to the state's beach closure dashboard.
On Cape Cod, Avermill Pond Beach in Brewster
and Sand Pond Beach in Harwich were closed due to cyanobacteria blooms.
Blomnock Beach in Truro was also closed because of eroding cliffs.
On the North Shore, several beaches, including Independence Park Beach in Beverly,
Sandy Beach in Danvers, and Kings Beach in Lynn,
were closed due to bacteria levels.
State officials worn against swimming had any closed beaches to avoid illness.
Now on to sports.
Noah Lylesmouth wrote the check, and on the Olympic stage, his feet cached it.
In St. Denis, France, Lyles struggled with slow starts,
yet he managed to turn a potential disaster into triumph.
Competing against a stellar field, including Jamaican's Kishane Thompson
and Oblique Seville, Lyles found himself in fifth place at the 20-meter mark.
However, Lyles emphasized, races aren't won with starts.
His resilience and competitive spirit shone through,
culminating in a historic 9.79 second finish.
This made him America's first gold medalist in the 100 meters in 20 years.

Elon Musk's startup Neuralink successfully implanted its brain chip in a second trial patient,
aiming to help paralyzed individuals use digital devices through thought alone.
The second patient with a spinal cord injury similar to the first
now has 400 working electrodes out of 1,024.
The first patient, Nolan Darbaugh, previously used a mouth stick for computer interaction,
but now controls his laptop through thought, gaining independence.
Musk, during an eight-hour podcast,
mentioned Neuralink plans to implant eight more patients this year.
He also discussed endorsing Donald Trump
and improving government efficiency through reduced regulation.
And in entertainment news,
Aerosmith has announced a retirement from touring,
citing lead singer Steven Tyler's vocal cord injury.
The band shared a heartfelt statement on social media, saying,
Play our music loud, now and always.
Dream on.
You've made our dreams come true.
They expressed gratitude to their fans and reflected on their origins,
stating, It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith.
Thanks to you, our blue army, that spark caught flame
and has been burning for over five decades.
Previously purchased tour tickets will be refunded.
Well, all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American gymnast, Simone Biles.
And she said,
I would say to always follow your dream.
And dream big because my whole career,
including any of the things that I've accomplished,
I never thought in a million years that I would be here.
So it just proves that once you believe in yourself
and you put your mind to something, you can do it.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
