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.

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.

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.
