Track and Field
The first track and field session of Day 10 begins with qualifications for men's triple jump and women's javelin throw, as well as heats in the men's 1500m, women's 400m and men's 200m. Medals will be given out in the women's long jump and men's 400m hurdles. Expect a tense showdown between American star Rai Benjamin and Norway's world champion and newly minted world record holder Karsten Warholm in the 400m hurdles. In the women's long jump, Brittney Reese and Tara Davis will try to bring home medals for the U.S.
In the second session, Sweden's world No. 1 Mondo Duplantis will look for men's pole vaulting gold in his Olympic debut. Duplantis holds both the indoor and outdoor pole vault world records, and his biggest competition — American and world No. 2 Sam Kendricks — is out of competition after testing positive for COVID. In another field final, U.S. star Deanna Price and Poland's two-time reigning gold medalist Anita Wlodarczyk compete in the women's hammer throw.
The second session will also see 19-year-old U.S. runner Athing Mu, who enters the women's 800m final with the season's fastest time. That race will be followed by the women's 200m final, which is expected to feature a stacked field that includes American Gabby Thomas (who ran the No. 2 time ever at Trials) and Jamaican stars Elaine Thompson-Herah (who won the 100m final) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

With a strong team that includes Chloe Dygert, the U.S. will seek to improve upon its silver-medal finishes from the past two Olympics. However, the team that won gold at both Games, Great Britain, is led by star cyclist Laura Kenny (née Trott) and remains one of Team USA's top challengers.
Day 11's track cycling session starts at 2:30 a.m. ET with the first round of the women's team pursuit. The finals are scheduled to go off at 4:19 a.m. ET and will be followed by the men's team sprint finals.

The individual finals will take place the next day, followed by a day off and then back-to-back days of team qualifying and the team final.
