Good morning! It\u2019s day 10 of the 2024 Paris Olympics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today marks the last day of artistic gymnastics <\/strong>competition from the Bercy Arena and the women\u2019s balance beam <\/strong>and floor exercise finals <\/strong>are the main events. That’s partly because Simone Biles <\/strong>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\u2019ll be joined on the beam <\/strong>by Suni Lee<\/strong>, herself on a comeback journey, and by Jordan Chiles <\/strong>on the floor<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElsewhere, with track and field <\/strong>events well underway, Team USA’s Valerie Allman <\/strong>will be hoping to spin up a storm in the women’s discus <\/strong>event at 2:30 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. local time. That follows the men’s pole vault <\/strong>final, at 1:00 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. local time, where Sam Kendricks <\/strong>will be hoping to take home a medal. He’ll have to outjump Sweden’s record-breaker Mondo Duplantis<\/strong>, though. On the track, the women’s 5,000m final <\/strong>is at 3:15 p.m. ET and 9:15 p.m. local time; and the women’s 800m medal <\/strong>event is at 3:47 p.m. ET and 9:47 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTeam USA\u00a0<\/strong>is going for the top spot in the\u00a0women’s 3×3 basketball tournament<\/strong>: their\u00a0semifinal\u00a0<\/strong>game against\u00a0Spain\u00a0<\/strong>is at 11:30 a.m. ET and 5:30 p.m. local time, with the\u00a0gold medal game\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNoah 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 \u2014 just five one-thousands of a second quicker than Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson, who took silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U.S. climber Jesse Grupper remembers when he was 16 and experienced pain in his abdomen for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought it was either food poisoning or just a reaction to stress from finals period,\u201d he said on NBC\u2019s \u201cMy New Favorite Olympian\u201d podcast. \u201cWhen the first one ended, I was like, \u2018OK, that\u2019s it. I\u2019m not going to have these symptoms again.\u2019 But then when it came back, I realized that there was something more fundamentally wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
