Swimming has officially concluded at the Rio games, with a dominating performance by Team USA, and most of the focus shifts to track and field while gymnastics begins to wrap up with event finals.
There's a lot going on during the day today to flip between if you're looking to enjoy a full day of Olympic action.
Medals in men's golf will be handed out for the first time in 112 years after the final round today. It looks to be a battle for gold and silver between Great Britain's Justin Rose and Sweden's Henrik Stenson. No surprise these two are at the top of the leader board. Americans Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar look to have an outside shot at the podium as they start the round three and four shots back of third, respectively.
The women's basketball team faces China this morning after defeating them by 48 points in London. The women look to be easily cruising to yet another gold medal.
The men's team has struggled a bit more, winning its last two games by a combined 13 points. Was the three-point win against Serbia enough of a wake-up call? The team has another tough test today against France, which has several NBA players, in the final game of pool play.
Two gold medal matches for tennis today beginning with an assured gold and silver for USA in the mixed double finals. While Venus Williams fell early in both singles and doubles, she stayed alive with Rajeev Ram in mixed doubles. They'll face USA's Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock. Reigning Olympic champion Andy Murray looks to defend his London gold in the men's final against Argentina's Juan Martin del Portro. While Murray has a major to his name this year, del Potro took down world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 5 Rafael Nadal on his way to this gold-medal final.
In the last day of the group stage, the U.S. women's volleyball team faces China. The USA has won silver in the last two Olympics and China is a five-time Olympic medalist.
Happening during the day, but we'll see in primetime, is the women's diving springboard final and four gymnastics event finals.
China's two divers, Sho Tingmao and He Zi, are the reigning world gold and silver medalists and are the favorites. Zi is also the reigning Olympic champion. USA's Abby Johnston, who won silver in the synchro event in London, looks to continue her success.
In men's gymnastics is the men's floor and pommel horse final and the women have the vault and uneven bars final. There are Americans in each final, including, believe it or not, pommel horse. The top eight gymnasts on each event from the qualifying round last weekend advanced to the finals with the exception of the two per country rule, which mostly just effected the women's team.
On floor, USA's Sam Mikulak and Jake Dalton hope to claim the team's first medals of these games. The two qualified easily in first and second, while Japan's Kenzo Shirai is the favorite and the reigning world champion. Of course, never rule out "King Kohei" Kohei Uchimura of Japan.
American Alex Nadour competes on pommel horse after qualifying in seventh. Great Britain's Max Whitlock and Louis Smith are the favorites and they're really good at the event. They make the hardest event look easy and somehow keep you from getting nervous for them.
Simone Biles looks to add her third gold of the games on the vault and is easily the favorite. If she does exactly what she's been doing, she'll be the Olympic champion. But we also thought that with McKayla Maroney in London. The other interesting gymnast in this event is Ukraine's Oksana Chusovitina who is 41-years-old. She's been at every Olympics since Barcelona in 1992.
The uneven bars finals is where you'll see the most competition. Mostly because Biles is not in this event. American Madison Kocian qualified in the top spot and has a beautiful routine. She's one of the four that tied four the gold at worlds last year. Reigning gold medalist Aliya Mustafina qualified in second followed by Gabby Douglas and Russia's Daria Spiridonova (another on of the world gold medalists). No ties in the Olympics, so there will be a gold, silver and bronze medalist. Bars is my favorite event and I can't wait to see this one!
In field events, it's the final of the women's triple jump. That's really all I know about that one. In non final events, we'll see the semifinals of the women's 400m, featuring American Allison Felix.
The men's 400m final tonight features Grenada's Kirani James, who won his country's first ever medal (a gold) in London. He won the semifinal ahead of USA's LaShawn Merritt.
The marquee event tonight is the men's 100m. We'll see both the semifinal and final to find out if Usain Bolt is still the world's fastest man. He's been injured this year but analysts that have watched training in Rio say there's no sign of that there. He cruised in his prelim race yesterday. His main competition is fellow Jamaican Johan Blake and Americans Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay.
Finally tonight, we'll see Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross in the quarterfinals as they face Australia's Bawden and Clancy.
