12:07 pm. It looks like there will be one event going at a time. Men’s floor will be first.

12:01 pm. I will be providing quick hits for the women and will let you know about anything particularly notable that happens for the men.

11:59 am. The biggest news of the day is that Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez are scratching event finals. I would assume that this is because they have proven themselves and were largely fantastic last night. I might have considered keeping Biles in on vault after her Amanar was pretty poorly landed by her standards. They will be replaced by Aly Raisman and Ragan Smith on beam and Brenna Dowell will replace Biles on floor. I think those three gymnasts have more to prove on those events than Biles and Hernandez do.

11:57 am. The competition is about to get underway. Stay tuned.
