Simone Biles is tipped to win her first Olympic gymnastics gold since 2016 on Tuesday, while Paris organisers postponed the men's triathlon by a day over pollution in the Seine just hours before it was due to start. America's Biles appears to be back at the peak of her powers as she leads the United States on what has been billed as a redemption mission in the women's team final. The 27-year-old, considered the greatest gymnast of all time, won four gold medals at the Rio 2016 Games.
