Hope Solo has been suspended from the U.S. Women’s National Team for six months.

The 35-year-old pro soccer player called the Sweden soccer team “cowards” after losing to them in the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.

“The comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden during the 2016 Olympics were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our National Team players,” U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said. “Beyond the athletic arena, and beyond the results, the Olympics celebrate and represent the ideals of fair play and respect. We expect all of our representatives to honor those principles, with no exceptions.”

The statement continued, “Taking into consideration the past incidents involving Hope, as well as the private conversations we’ve had requiring her to conduct herself in a manner befitting a U.S. National Team member, U.S. Soccer determined this is the appropriate disciplinary action.”

As a result, Hope will not be eligible for the team until February of 2017.

During the appearance, Simone cleared up whether or not she’ll be on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.

“With the tour going on, the fall [season] will be very, very hard to attend, so I can’t do that one. I’m hoping for the spring one if they would allow me to do that – that would be awesome,” she told Extra.

Simone added that she’s not a great dancer but knows the pros will be able to improve her skills!

Alessandra Ambrosio is all smiles as she goes shopping at Isabel Marant on Monday (August 22) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 35-year-old Brazilian model was joined by her daughter Anja (not pictured) and a friend.

Alessandra recently returned home following her role as NBC food and culture contributor during the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.

Over the weekend, Alessandra shared a cute selfie showing off her Team Brazil Olympic pride.

“Hoje é o dia !!!,” she captioned the Instagram pic (below) of herself wearing her team’s soccer jersey. “Vai Brasil ⚽️🇧🇷 Go Brasil !!! #olympics #rio2016 #Brasil #seleçãobrasileiradefutebol.”

American runner Abbey D’Agostino and New Zealander Nikki Hamblin have been awarded a rare Olympic medal for sportsmanship following their inspiring moment during the Rio games.

During the women’s 5,000 meter semi-final, the ladies tripped over each other and instead of running back into the race, they helped each other up and continued together. When Abbey realized she injured herself, Nikki refused to go on alone and helped her new friend through the rest of the race.

“Nobody has epitomised these values more at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 than runners Abbey D’Agostino (USA) and Nikki Hamblin (NZL) and, beyond the Games, the Norwegian men’s handball team,” the Olympic committee said in a statement. “The International Fair Play Committee (CIFP), with the support of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), presented them with Fair Play awards today at the Olympic Club in the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro for two separate acts of selflessness and exemplary sportsmanship.”

“The D’Agostino and Hamblin story is one of humanity and sacrifice which has already captured the hearts of people across the globe. New Zealand runner Nikki Hamblin tripped and fell to the ground during the 5,000m race, accidentally bringing American D’Agostino down behind her with around 2,000m to go. The 24-year-old D’Agostino was quick to get up again, yet instead of carrying on with her race she stopped to help the stricken Hamblin to her feet, encouraging her to join her in attempting to finish the race. However, during her tumble, D’Agostino suffered an ankle injury, slowing the runner down, but Hamblin sportingly hung back to in return offer her encouragements. The two women went on to complete the race together,” the statement continued.

Congrats to the runners on the honor!

“Congratulations to Team GB on your record-breaking success at Rio 2016,” the trio started off the statement.

Tonga’s famous flag bearer, Pita Taufatofua, made another shirtless appearance at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday (August 21) at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Pita became an Internet sensation during the Rio Opening Ceremony earlier in the month. Fans loved that Pita looked very oiled up while carrying the flag of his country.

“Felt soo privileged to get out on those mats and represent Tonga! There are no excuses, I started slow, got caught and lost to a legend of Taekwondo, a great opponent in Iran. Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn!” Pita wrote on Instagram. “It took me 20 years to get here, if it takes another 20 we will bring that Gold home! Thank you for the love, prayers and support without you all we would not be here! Malo Aupito, ofa atu.”
