LeBron James and Co. will face off against the three-time MVP, but Joel Embiid’s status for the starry matchup is uncertain.
Well, that was fun. The official Day 1 of Paris 2024 gave us dramatic swim relays, cycling wipeouts and everything from gymnastics to water polo., the time zone has this looking like a significantly better Olympics experience for fans watching from the U.S. than the Tokyo Games three years ago. Now we’re on to Day 2.for a full schedule. All events will stream live on Peacock. I’ll also be tweeting out a schedule of medal events, Team USA games and other favorites each day.
Team USA’s men’s basketball team enters every Olympics with sky-high expectations, even as the rest of the world keeps improving. This year’s squad begins group play at 11:15 a.m. ET against Serbia. That means a battle with Nikola Jokic, who is fresh off winning his third NBA MVP award in four seasons. He is supposed to go head-to-head with U.S. big man Joel Embiid, who won the award in 2023 and was runner-up to Jokic the two years before that.
The U.S. has struggled in its recent exhibition games—with narrow wins over Australia, South Sudan and Germany—but the team is still favored to win its fifth straight gold medal. This will be a good test to start.Saturday was a tough day for U.S. fencing, but Sunday looks like a good opportunity to turn things around. Lee Kiefer is a name familiar to many American Olympics fans, as she is the defending gold medalist in women’s foil.
They’ll go through the whole competition bracket in one day, starting very early in the morning with prelims. If she advances, the semis are at 1 p.m. ET and the finals at 3:45 p.m..Plenty of eyes are on beach volleyball, with one of the most scenic venues of these Olympics right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Team USA’s best duo, Sarah Hughes and Kelly Cheng, will get their Olympic tournament started against a team from the Czech Republic at 4:00 p.m. ET.
It’ll be another big day at the pool, when the swimming finals start at 2:30 p.m. ET. A few names to watch: Team USA’s Nic Fink in the men’s 100 breaststroke,The USWNT will play against Germany at 3 p.m. ET, the same time Canada’s women’s team takes on France but the women’s street final is supposed to take place Sunday at 11:00 a.m. ET.And if you have never watched canoe slalom before, check out the women’s kayak single finals at 11:45 a.m. ET. Just trust me.
