2024 Paris Olympics live updates: Biles, Lee and Chiles have one more chance to medal

Simone Biles, Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles will compete in their final individual gymnastics events today. Lee has qualified for balance beam, Chiles has qualified for floor and Biles has done so for both.

The mixed relay triathlon is underway this morning, but without Belgian athletes who were withdrawn from the race after a competitor who swam in the Seine fell ill.

The U.S. women’s 3×3 basketball team will play Spain in the semifinal today for a shot at the medal rounds. The U.S. men’s volleyball team will face Brazil in quarterfinals and the beach volleyball duo of Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth will play Canada.

Gabby Thomas and 100-meter winner Julien Alfred are expected to run the semifinal of the women’s 200-meter today. Noah Lyles, who won the men’s 100 last night, will contend with Round 1 of the race. Its an event both he and Thomas won at the U.S. Olympic trials.

Also today, climbing kicks off, as does track cycling. Later tonight, finals will be held for women’s discus throw, women’s 5,000 meter and the 800 meter.

Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas is on a mission to help promote equity in healthcare. The Harvard graduate wants to close the gap in disparities in the American healthcare system and with that in mind she volunteers at an Austin, Texas, healthcare clinic for people with no insurance.

Today, she races in Round 1 of the 200-meter, an event she got bronze in at the Tokyo Games and won at U.S. Olympic Trials.

The U.S. has won the silver medal after a dramatic photo finish.

Gold medalists Germany, the U.S. and the third-placed Great Britain team all finished within a second of each other.

Americans Yared Nuguse and Hobbs Kessler came first and second in their 1500m semifinal on Sunday. They finished with the top two times of 3:31.72 and 3:31.97, respectively. Now, they’ll go on to face favorites Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway and Team Great Britain’s Josh Kerr on Tuesday. 

Good morning! It’s day 10 of the 2024 Paris Olympics.  

Today marks the last day of artistic gymnastics competition from the Bercy Arena and the women’s balance beam and floor exercise finals are the main events. That’s partly because Simone Biles will be looking to continue her imperious form and add more gold medals to her tally in both events after taking three in her first three events at these Games. She’ll be joined on the beam by Suni Lee, herself on a comeback journey, and by Jordan Chiles on the floor. The beam event is at 6:38 a.m. ET and 12:38 p.m. local time, while the floor exercise is at 8:24 a.m. ET and 2:24 p.m. local time.

Elsewhere, with track and field events well underway, Team USA’s Valerie Allman will be hoping to spin up a storm in the women’s discus event at 2:30 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. local time. That follows the men’s pole vault final, at 1:00 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. local time, where Sam Kendricks will be hoping to take home a medal. He’ll have to outjump Sweden’s record-breaker Mondo Duplantis, though. On the track, the women’s 5,000m final is at 3:15 p.m. ET and 9:15 p.m. local time; and the women’s 800m medal event is at 3:47 p.m. ET and 9:47 p.m. local time.

Team USA is going for the top spot in the women’s 3×3 basketball tournament: their semifinal game against Spain is at 11:30 a.m. ET and 5:30 p.m. local time, with the gold medal game at 3:00 p.m. ET and 9:00 p.m. local time. The men’s final also happens today a half hour later than the women’s final.

Noah Lyles was crowned the world’s fastest man late Sunday, winning gold in the men’s 100m sprint with a time of 9.784 seconds — just five one-thousands of a second quicker than Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson, who took silver.

U.S. climber Jesse Grupper remembers when he was 16 and experienced pain in his abdomen for the first time.

“I thought it was either food poisoning or just a reaction to stress from finals period,” he said on NBC’s “My New Favorite Olympian” podcast. “When the first one ended, I was like, ‘OK, that’s it. I’m not going to have these symptoms again.’ But then when it came back, I realized that there was something more fundamentally wrong.”

Grupper was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the large intestine. Symptoms, including abdominal pain and fever, can unexpectedly flare up under stress, which caused Grupper to reflect on his competitive climbing.
