Laura Lindemann won a thrilling sprint finish to secure gold for Germany in the Olympic triathlon mixed relay on Monday. She out-kicked competitors from the United States and Britain following an early crash that disappointed the highly-fancied French team.

Monday also marked the final day of artistic gymnastics with Simone Biles contending for her eighth and ninth Olympic titles in the beam and floor exercise finals, where she is the favorite on floor but faces tough competition on the beam.

Other highlights include Karsten Warholm advancing in the 400 metres hurdles, An Se-young capturing gold in badminton for South Korea, and Gabriel Medina aiming for a surfing gold medal. Additionally, the first ever Olympic medals in kayak cross will be awarded with all finals taking place in the afternoon. Noah Lyles narrowly won the Olympic 100 metres final, securing the title for the U.S. for the first time in 20 years.
