An Olympic icon and a breakout star headline the gymnastics competitions at the Paris Summer Olympics on Saturday as both the men’s and women’s individual apparatus finals get started. On the ledger on Saturday in Paris are the men’s floor exercise, women’s vault and men’s pommel horse, which place Simone Biles and Stephen Nedoroscik squarely in the spotlight as near-locks to make the podium and potential gold medal favorites.
Biles added to her case as arguably the greatest Olympian of all-time in leading Team USA to a gold medal in the team competition and then winning a second individual-all around gold medal, which made her the oldest woman to take the title and just the third two-time winner. Nedoroscik, meanwhile, has also collected some hardware of his own, winning a team bronze medal with the U.S. and tying for the best score in pommel horse qualifying.
