2024 Olympics: Athletes and events to watch on Monday

Simone Biles and Suni Lee will compete for the final time on Monday at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Biles will compete in the balance beam and floor finals, where she has won two bronze medals (on beam) and a gold (on floor) at previous Olympics. She won three gold medals in Paris, bringing her career total to seven. While Biles has not confirmed whether she will compete at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, she said Saturday she “never say never.”

Lee will also compete in the beam final, where she finished fifth in Tokyo. Lee won two bronze medals and one gold in Paris, matching her medal total from three years ago.

After winning gold in the men’s 100m final, Noah Lyles returns to the track for Round 1 of the men’s 200m. Lyles has not lost a 200m race at the world championships or the Olympics since 2022. If Lyles wins the 200m, he will become only the third man to win the 100m and 200m at a single Olympics — Usain Bolt (three times) and Carl Lewis in 1984 are the only ones to do so, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

On the sand or indoors, a handful of U.S. volleyball teams compete in knockout rounds. Chase Budinger and Miles Evans will face Norway’s Christian Sørum and Tokyo gold medalist Anders Mol in the round of 16. The U.S. men’s volleyball team will play Brazil in the quarterfinals after an undefeated group game.
