In it to win it! While gymnastics is wrapping up, track and field and more events are just getting started down in Rio de Janeiro. There are still plenty of standout U.S. athletes competing for medals in sports ranging from women’s beach volleyball to men’s hurdles. Here are five things to watch during day 11 of the 2016 Rio Olympics on Tuesday, August 16.
1. Women’s Gymnastics Floor Exercise Final
It’s the last day of gymnastics in Rio! Simone Biles and Aly Raisman will compete for yet another medal in the floor exercise final. The gymnasts both dominate in this event and their high scores on the floor helped the U.S. win gold in the team all-around final, so it should be an exciting finish.
