Sunisa Lee adds another medal from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as she takes the bronze medal in the uneven bars. Lee won bronze on that apparatus at the Tokyo Games in 2021.

Lee scored 14.800 in the uneven bars event. Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour took gold with a score of 15.700, while China’s Qiu Qiyuan claimed silver with a 15.500.

Kaylia Nemour of Algeria delivered the country’s first gold medal in gymnastics, putting together a thrilling routine in the uneven bars final on Sunday to outscore Qiu Qiyuan of China.

Lee was second on the apparatus in the all-around competition, won by Biles in impressive fashion on Thursday.

Lee’s six medals leave her one behind Shannon Miller for the second most by an American gymnast. Lee could match Miller in the balance beam final on Sunday.

 but switched to compete for Algeria following a dispute with the French gymnastics federation and Nemour’s club of Avoine Beaumont, which has led the gymnast to embrace her father’s Algerian nationality.

The 17-year-old is a wonder on bars, swooping from one to the other with a series of releases and intricate hand maneuvers that are both athletically and technically demanding.

Nemour needed to rely on all those skills to edge Qiu, who put on a clinic during her set. Her legs were practically magnetized together during her routine and she was so straight on her handstand she looked like a ruler. Qiu hugged her coaches after her dismount and the crowd erupted when her 15.5 was posted.

While Nemour competes under a different flag — she draped the Algerian banner behind her after clinching her victory — she was very much on home soil. A raucous ovation followed after she won the first-ever gymnastics medal for Algeria.

 in the men's 100 meters, Lyles vowed not to underestimate his competitors the next time around. The reigning world champion in the 100 and 200 will have no shortage of challengers.

Chief among them are fellow American Bednarek, Thompson and Louie Hinchliffe, a British sprinter being trained by Carl Lewis. The semifinals begin at 8:05 p.m. CEST/1:05 p.m. CDT, with the final set for 9:50 CEST/2:50 CDT.

Scheffler's group tees off at 12:17 p.m. CEST/5:17 a.m. CDT, McIlroy at 12:28/5:28 and Schauffele, Rahm and Fleetwood at 12:39/5:39.

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will meet for the men’s tennis singles gold medal in the latest installment of a 

Alcaraz won that one, just like he did when they played each other for last year’s trophy at the All England Club. Serbia’s Djokovic is 37 and the oldest man to play in an Olympic singles final. Spain’s Alcaraz is 21 and the youngest.

Djokovic won a bronze at Beijing in 2008 but has made clear he really wants an Olympic gold on his resume, which already features a men's record 24 Grand Slam singles titles. Alcaraz is making his Olympic debut.

The match will not begin before 2 p.m. CEST/7 a.m. CDT.

The swimming program features the women's 50-meter freestyle final at 6:30 CEST/12:30 EDT, with American Gretchen Walsh going for her third medal of the Paris Games. She took home silver in the 100-meter butterfly and as part of the 4x100-meter freestyle relay.
