Simone Biles takes bronze in balance beam.

Which is a pity.  On the other hand: Sanne Wevers (gold, Netherlands) and Laurie Hernandez (silver, USA) probably aren’t complaining about them both getting to join a fairly exclusive club today.  Which is, of course, the club of people who have beaten Simone Biles in a gymnastics contest when Biles was in full possession of her powers. That’s not a bad brag, really. Certainly I couldn’t do it.

As to the overall score… we’re continuing to romp. And we’re going to start running out of Olympics, soon.  Dramatic, this is not. Pleasant, but not dramatic.
