Only five days remain in the 2024 Olympics, but there’s still plenty of gold to hand out.
Wednesday offers up 21 gold medal events, including multiple in track and field. It also includes the return of American star Noah Lyles, who will race in the 200-meter semifinals. He won gold in the 100m on Sunday and will look to build on his success against some of the same sprinters he beat in that race.
Elsewhere, the U.S. women’s basketball team will fight to keep its 58-game win streak — which dates back to 1992 — alive in the quarterfinals against Nigeria. And a 51-year-old skateboarding legend makes his Olympics debut.
There are also medal events in artistic swimming, boxing, track cycling, sailing, sport climbing, taekwondo, weightlifting and wrestling.
