It's the tenth day of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and while the likes of gymnastics, tennis, and swimming are coming to an end, various athletics events are underway, climbers have taken to the wall, and team competitions like hockey, basketball, and volleyball are edging closer to the finals.

Here are five takeaways from Day Six at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Biles misses out on Miss Invincible

Simone Biles' third Olympics came to an end on Day Ten in Paris having won three gold medals in Women's Artistic Team All-Around, Women's Artistic Individual All-Around and Women's Vault.

The gymnastics superstar has been the talk of the town with celebrities of all kinds flocking to watch her perform on what has been dubbed her "Redemption Tour".

Today she had the chance to push her tally of gold medals at an Olympic Games to a record-setting five but fell short coming in fifth in the Women's Balance Beam before clinching silver in the Women's Floor Routine. 

The decorated athlete initially tumbled off the balance beam but bounced back to lay claim to an 11th Olympic medal as an inspired Rebeca Andrade of Brazil in the Women's Floor took gold ahead of her and fellow Team US gymnast Jordan Chiles finished in third.

The two congratulated Rebeca Andrade on her win holding hands on the podium and creating another iconic photo from this summer's Olympic Games.

"I've accomplished way more than in my wildest dreams. Not just at this Olympics, but in the sport," said Biles. "A couple of years ago, I didn't think I'd be back here at an Olympic Games. So competing and then walking away with four medals... I'm not mad about it. I'm pretty proud of myself."

Is the Simon Biles show over? Who's to know? The 27-year-old hasn’t quite ruled out making a return for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games just yet.

The new Usain Bolt?

Having won gold in the men's 100 metres at the Stade de France, Noah Lyles looks to be on track for a similarly unforgettable Paris 2024 Olympic Games following up Sunday's astounding win with a first-place finish in his qualifying round of the Men's 200m.

Lyles' time of 20.19 seconds sends him into the semi-finals of the men's 200m and has some, including World Athletics President Sebastian Coe, praising him for reinvigorating athletics as Usain Bolt did

Lyles backed up his title as the fastest man in the world by beating Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by just 0.005 seconds in the 100-meter dash but as he shifts his focus to the 200-metre races this week, the 27-year-old has some competition with his time the sixth highest in the Men's 200-Meter Semifinal Qualifiers overall.

If the sprinter wants to really entertain entering Bolt-territory he'll have to leave the rest in his wake this week.

A historic Team GB performance on the velodrome

Team GB stormed to the first track cycling gold of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Day Ten having not qualified for the women's team sprint since 2012. A team made up of Katy Marchant, Sophie Capewell and Emma Finucane broke the world record more than once on an incredible day at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome.

The British trio won gold with a new world best of 45.186 seconds having already broken the record earlier in the day with their qualifying time of 45.472 seconds eclipsing the 45.487 record recently set by China's Guo Yufang, Bao Shanju and Yuan Liying in June.

Following that Germany broke the record again in round one before New Zealand broke Germany's record and Team GB then beat the lot clocking 45.338. Britain then broke the world record once again in the final showdown with their 45.186 clinching gold meaning that the world record was broken five times in one day.

New Zealand got silver and Germany grabbed bronze.

Spain set up final with France

After coming from behind to beat Morocco 2-1, Spain advanced to the final of the men's football at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games before France then followed suit later on in the day also coming from behind to beat Egypt.

Spain went 1-0 down in the 37th minute before two second-half goals scored them the victory in 90 minutes. France, on the other hand,  overcame Egypt 3-1 after extra time in the other last-four tie. After falling behind in the 62nd minute, man of the moment Mateta kept hopes alive by scoring in the 83rd minute and then again nine minutes into extra time before Olise sealed the deal in the 108th minute. 

It means the Euro 2024 champions will take on the host nation France in the final on Friday in a spectacle that will see two of the world's most successful footballing nations battle it out for the 2024 gold medal.

Morocco and Egypt will face off for bronze in Nantes on Thursday.

So, who's at the top of the medal table at the end of Day Seven?

As Day Ten draws to a close at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the People's Republic of China and the United States of America sit heads and shoulders above the rest battling it out for the top spot.

The People's Republic of China are top of the medal table with 21 gold medals but their 18 silvers and 14 bronzes are far less than the United States who have the highest medal count with a whopping 78. With 20 golds, 30 silvers and 28 bronzes, Team USA just needs one more gold to oust China from the top.

Meanwhile, Australia sits in third with 13 golds, 11 silvers and 8 bronzes while both France and Great Britain are just below with 12 golds. The host nation sits in fourth with 16 silvers and 18 bronzes meaning Great Britain must for now settle for fifth with 13 silvers and 17 bronzes.
