Tokyo Olympics live updates: US gets surprise gold in swimming, Biles thanks supporters

USA TODAY Sports

At the Tokyo Olympics, gymnast Simone Biles continues to be the main topic of discussion. The defending gold medalist in the women's all-around competition qualified first for Thursday's final, but withdrew to focus on her mental health. Jade Carey will take Biles' place for Team USA.

The question now is whether or not Biles will compete in any of next week's individual event finals.

In the pool, Bobby Finke got the USA off to a strong start when he came from far behind to win an unexpected gold in the men's 800-meter freestyle.
