Meanwhile, there is no end in sight to China’s dominance in table tennis and it will most likely continue.
So let’s see what happens to all the times that are usually given as HKT.
No sprint
Buckle up, because this is going to be a long one. And this is just the beginning!
It’s time for the men’s marathon final and Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge wants to defend his title again.
Winner in Rio de Janeiro, winner in Tokyo, now 39, can he really achieve a third victory in a row?
Tune in to find out, the action starts at 2pm.
Discount
On to the final round of women’s golf, which starts at 3 p.m.
Swiss Morgane Metraux and New Zealander Lydia Ko lead the rankings with -9.
However, Rose Zhang from the USA and Miyu Yamashita from Japan are hot on their heels with -7.
Of course, as the saying goes, anything can happen, so you should definitely keep this in mind.
China’s Lin Xiyu and tournament favorite Nelly Korda from the USA are at -4 and are definitely still in the race.
More Chinese gold?
At 9 p.m., viewers from China have the choice: Which likely gold medal ceremony would you like to see?
Yang Hao, the winner of the synchronized diving and one of the favorites, will be taking part in the 10-meter individual diving event. Cao Yuan will also be competing.
The semifinals start at 4 p.m., the finals take place five hours later.
The women’s table tennis gold medal match between China and Japan will also take place at 9 p.m.
So far, China has won every gold medal in table tennis in Paris. They will surely win by a landslide, right? It starts at 4 p.m.: South Korea against Germany for the bronze medal.
Clash of the Titans
Brazil, the country that has thrilled football fans for decades, has never won Olympic gold in the women’s competition.
And they face the ultimate test when they face a US team looking to add to their record-tying fifth gold medal and their first since London 2012.
In the USA, however, Trinity Rodman, the daughter of basketball legend Dennis, who never took part in the Olympic Games, was one of the stars so far.
The two teams met in the gold medal games in 2004 and 2008, and the USA won both times in overtime. The game begins at 11 p.m.
Clean-up
Only three times since the introduction of men’s basketball has the United States participated in Olympic competitions without winning gold.
In fact, their boycott in 1980 was the only time they missed the podium, and the last time they didn’t finish at the top was in 2004.
The gold medal game in Paris is a repeat of the game in Tokyo, where host France will be looking to cause an upset against LeBron James, Steph Curry and Co.
With Victor Wembanyama, France has last season’s Rookie of the Year as well as several other NBA stars.
But can they defeat the superior USA? Find out at 3:30.
