The balance beam competition on Monday ended with one of the biggest upsets of this year’s Olympic Games. With the favorites all struggling, Alice D’Amato was able to secure Italy’s first ever gymnastics gold medal.

Sleeping outside on the ground underneath a bench is more comfortable than the beds in the Olympic Village. At least that’s the message Italian swimmer Thomas Ceccon is sending after being spotted doing that exact thing after complaining about conditions inside the village.
Saudi rower Husein Alireza was taking a stroll around a park over the weekend and stumbled upon Ceccon taking a snooze next to a bench outside. Alireza added the location to the picture he shared on Instagram as well as inside the Olympic Village in Paris.
