Tuesday's best bets

Gymnastics

The Olympics are a lot about dreams and few can dream better than a teenager. Tuesday, the end-of-the-rainbow wish of a gold medal will likely come true for the members of the U.S. women's team. The defending Olympic gold medalists, the U.S. squad is filled with so much talent that some very gifted gymnasts will be left off the starting list.

Swimming

This should be the day Michael Phelps picks up his second medal of the Games. Will it be gold? He'll be swimming in the 200 butterfly. Katie Ledecky will be back to try to pick up her second of three individual golds in the 200 freestyle.

Women's soccer

The U.S. women continue their road tour, this time going to the edge of the Amazon to play Colombia. It shouldn't be much of a game as the U.S. is undefeated in two matches and Colombia is winless.
