Among the most anticipated events of the day are the Women's Artistic Gymnastics and Fencing, where athletes will strive for Olympic glory.

In Women's Artistic Gymnastics, all eyes will be on American gymnasts Simone Biles and Suni Lee, who make history as the first two Olympic all-around champions competing against each other in the finals.

The American team, having topped the qualifications with a score of 172.296, holds a significant lead over Italy, who scored 166.861. China, Brazil, Japan, Canada, Great Britain, and Romania also made it to the team final, setting the stage for an intense showdown.

Simone Biles leads the all-around qualifiers with a remarkable score of 59.566, followed by Brazil's Rebeca Andrade and Suni Lee.

Biles has also shown her prowess by qualifying first in both the vault and floor events, second on the beam, and is the first reserve for the uneven bars.
