Amin Mohammad Jamali/Getty Images(RIO DE JANEIRO) — Beloved American gymnasts Simone Biles and Aly Raisman are set to compete for gold during Day 11 of the Olympic Games in Rio today. Team USA won scores of silver and bronze medals yesterday but encountered a “no-gold day.” Here is a lineup of some of the most exciting events taking place in Rio.
Gymnastics
Women’s floor exercise finals are scheduled for Tuesday at 1:47 p.m. ET.
This will be Simone Biles’ final event of the Rio Olympics. The 19-year-old has already broken records as the first American female gymnast to win three gold medals in a single Olympics. If Biles wins gold this afternoon, she will become the fifth woman (and first American woman) to win four gymnastic gold medals in a single Olympics.
Aly Raisman is also competing in the floor exercise finals. Raisman won gold in 2012 for the floor exercise, and if she wins this afternoon, she will be the fourth female gymnast (and first American female gymnast) to win two golds in the event.
The U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team has won seven medals so far in Rio, and is one medal shy of a team record for a single Olympic games.
