A total of 12 medal events will take place in Paris on Tuesday, the fewest number of days of any Olympics this summer, including the men’s and women’s surfing gold medal events, which will be broadcast live in prime time from Tahiti.
Simone Biles And the U.S. women’s gymnastics team will compete in the team final today.
Biles and her teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Careyand Hesley Rivera is the gold medal favorite, and her dominant performance in the heats once again showed how far she has come from her rivals. Biles injured her calf in heats, but she remains the favorite to win the event despite her injury concerns.
In addition to women’s gymnastics, three more swimming medal events will be held and 3×3 basketball will also begin.
In addition to the medal competition, the U.S. women’s rugby team will face New Zealand for a spot in the gold medal match.
The men’s triathlon had been scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed until Wednesday, following the women’s, after tests on the Seine’s water showed unacceptable levels of E. coli and other bacteria.
Here is a detailed look at the schedule for the fourth day of the Olympics (July 30th).
