Simone Biles led the Team USA women's gymnastics team to a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, a sweet redemption after the struggles in Tokyo three years ago. American swimmers won four more medals, and the women's rugby team rallied to win bronze. NBC News' Stephanie Gosk reports.
Katie Ledecky will go for her eighth gold in the 1,500-meter race. She progressed to the final with a time nearly 18 seconds ahead of the nearest swimmer. The women's and men's 100m freestyle and men's 200m butterfly are also scheduled for today.
Both women's and men's triathlon are taking place this morning.
