2024 Olympics: Athletes, events to watch Wednesday

Date:

Two of Team USA’s top squads continue with group play Wednesday at the 2024 Paris Games.

Men’s basketball takes on South Sudan, which it narrowly defeated July 20, with Group C’s top spot on the line. After sitting in the win against Serbia on Sunday, Jayson Tatum is expected to play this time around, according to head coach Steve Kerr.

The U.S. Olympic women’s soccer team can secure a first-place finish in Group B with a win or draw against Australia. The Americans are already in the quarterfinals after a 4-1 win against Germany on Sunday.

There are also multiple finals in swimming, including the 1,500-meter women’s freestyle, where Katie Ledecky can earn another medal in Paris.

It’s a busy day in tennis with Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz back in action for doubles, but particularly for American Taylor Fritz. He plays three times Wednesday — a mixed doubles quarterfinal with Coco Gauff, a third-round men’s singles quarterfinal and a second-round men’s doubles match with Tommy Paul.

Here’s what to look out for Wednesday.
