A day after the conclusion of Olympic swimming, gymnastics will crown its final champions in Paris.
That means two more chances on Monday to watch Simone Biles in what could be her final Olympic appearances. Track and field continues to ramp up and will award four more medals, and U.S. women will go for an improbable gold medal in 3×3 basketball after starting Olympic play with an 0-3 record.
Meanwhile, men’s soccer will set up a championship final, and U.S. teams will be busy in beach volleyball knockout matches.
Here’s what we’re looking forward to most on Sunday in Paris:
Simone Biles goes for 2 more medals (6:36 a.m. ET, NBC, streaming)
Simone Biles is back for more hardware along with two of her U.S. teammates. The now 10-time Olympic medalist (7 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze) returns to the Olympic gym on Monday to compete in the balance beam (6:36 a.m. ET) and floor exercise (8:20 a.m. ET) finals, where she’ll be a top contender in both events. It might be the last time ever to watch Biles in Olympic competition.
USA’s Sunisa Lee will be among her competitors in the balance beam final. USA’s Jordan Chiles will challenge her on the floor. Biles’ Brazilian rival Rebeca Andrade (all-around silver medalist) will compete in both events.
Men’s gymnastics will crown champions on the parallel bars (5:45 a.m. ET) and the horizontal bar (7:31 a.m. ET) on the final day of gymnastics competition in Paris. No U.S. athletes made the final in either event.
Check your local listings and streaming alternatives (Peacock and NBCOlympics.com) as not all events will air live on NBC depending on your timezone.
