Women’s artistic gymnastics - team final (3pm ET)
There is no secret that Team USA are the team to beat. Nevermind the fact that the US is blessed with the phenomenally gifted Simone Biles, quite possibly the greatest gymnast in the history of the sport. This team has an embarrassment of riches and it’s going to take a monumental effort alongside some extraordinary mistakes for any other nation to even come close. Make sure you tune in to witness history as these five athletes might just be better than the Fierce Five and Magnificent Seven.
Women’s soccer - USA v Colombia (5pm ET)
The US look to top their group and make it three wins in a row as they face Colombia in their final first round match of these Games.

In addition, they also met back in April for a friendly where the red, white and blue won 7-0.
