Today at the Bercy Arena, the spotlight is on Simone Biles as she aims for her third gold medal of the Games in the vault event. Biles, who has already clinched the individual all-around gold and the team gold earlier in the week, is known for her awe-inspiring performances.

In the individual all-around competition two nights ago, Biles showcased her dominance on the vault, the same apparatus she will be competing on today. However, she will face tough competition from Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who has previously bested Biles in this event at the World Championships.

Stephen Nedoroscik, known as 'Clark Kent,' excels in pommel horse routine.

Another athlete to watch out for today is Stephen Nedoroscik, affectionately known as Team USA's 'Clark Kent' due to the glasses he wears before competing. Nedoroscik played a crucial role in securing a bronze medal for the American team on Monday with his exceptional performance on the pommel horse.

Nedoroscik's expertise lies in the pommel horse routine, and he will be striving for an individual medal in this event today. His near-perfect routine, characterized by swift leg movements and a flawless walking handstand, was instrumental in the team's success and has positioned him as a strong contender for an individual podium finish.
