Expect fireworks at the 2024 Paris Olympics on HAI CommunitySaturday.
American gymnastSimone Biles has won two gold medals in Paris so far, finishing on top of the podium in the women's all-around competition and the team event final. She will have an opportunity to pick up a third gold in the vault final on Saturday, but Brazil superstar Rebeca Andrade stands in her way. Andrade finished with silver in the tightly-contested all-around competition, which Biles called stressful: "I don't want to compete with Rebeca no more. I'm tired. She's way too close. I've never had an athlete that close. It definitely put me on my toes."
Over on the track, U.S. sprinting sensation Sha'Carri Richardson will run in the 100-meter dash on Saturday at Stade de France. Richardson, the defending world champion in the 100, is a favorite to win, even more so after Jamaica's Shericka Jackson scratched from the event earlier this week.
Meanwhile, American Ryan Crouser is looking to win his third consecutive Olympic gold medal in men's shot put. Here's what to know about the medal count ahead of day eight of the 2024 Paris Olympics:
