+ Superstar chasing fifth gold

American gymnast Simone Biles is, without a doubt, one of the biggest stars of the games. Now she has the chance to win her first gold in Paris and her fifth Olympic Games gold overall. The team final in artistic gymnastics is awaiting, and her USA is a big favorite.

Biles won her four previous golds in Rio de Janeiro 2016. In Tokyo five years later, she broke off the team final due to mental health issues before returning to the final in the vault, where she won bronze.

Interest in Biles is extremely high, and celebrities flock to the arena when she competes. Among others, Lady Gaga, Tom Cruise, Snoop Dogg, Ariana Grande, and Greta Gerwig were seen in the stands during Sunday's qualifying rounds.

+ Will the Swedish winning streak continue?

Victory against Norway. Victory against Germany. The Swedish women's handball team has had a flying start to the Olympic Games in Paris. Now they face a match against Denmark – the most successful team in Olympic handball on the women's side.

Will the blue and yellow winning streak continue? Match starts at 21.00.

+ Triathlon in poor water conditions postponed

The water quality in the Seine River, where triathlon competitions are taking place, has been one of the biggest talking points of the games. After Sunday's and Monday's training sessions were cancelled, the organizer announced early in the morning that Tuesday's men's competition would be postponed until Wednesday.

+ Rugby final at Stade de France

France is a rugby-crazy nation – and on Tuesday, it will be a packed day at the national arena Stade de France.

The women's class will conclude with semifinals, bronze match, and final. Unfortunately for the French fans, Canada knocked out France in the quarterfinals. New Zealand is the reigning champion after defeating France in Tokyo 2021.
