Paris Olympics 2024 Live Updates Day 8: After winning gold in the individual all-around and helping the US dominant in team all-around to burnish her legacy, Biles will go for a third gold this Games in the vault final.
Simon Biles will again be one of the highlights of the 2024 Olympics on Saturday as she tries to win the vault event for her third gold medal in Paris. Biles is among the favorites again but should face a tough challenge from Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, the defending Olympic champion in the event.
Sha’Carri Richardson will go for her first Olympic medal in the women’s 100 meters. The US women’s soccer team will be in action as well, taking on Japan, as will the US men’s basketball team against Puerto Rico.
Katie Ledecky’s hunt for Olympic medals continues with the American lining up for the 800m freestyle. A win here would mean the decorated swimmer would take her fourth gold medal in the 800m freestyle, a record that dates back to the London 2012 Games. In badminton, Chinese duo of Wang Chang and Liang Weikeng’s debut Olympics have gone according to plan, now that they are in the men’s doubles final.
