Well, the bad news is it’s Monday. The good news is the Olympics are still on and there’s plenty happening today!
Here’s what you can’t miss:
Gymnastics
The “Flying Squirrel” isn’t done yet. After winning a team gold and taking home the gold in the women’s individual all-around, Gabby Douglas competes in the uneven bars tonight. While she’ll be fun to watch, no American is expected to medal. But don’t count Gabby out just yet!
Basketball
This is the Americans’ last game of the group stage, and they’re facing off against what could be their toughest competition of the games so far: Argentina. There are quite a few NBA players on Argentina’s roster, including Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola. Team USA is still expected to win, but it could be at least a close game, for a couple quarters anyway.
Track & Field: Men’s 400m Final
The Americans swept the medals for this event in Beijing. It would be tough to do it again considering the competition. LaShawn Merritt, who took home the gold four years ago, is returning to defend his championship.
Women’s Soccer
Team USA is starting to get on the nerves of their opponents. Not because of all the scoring they’re doing, but because of what they’re doing after they score goals. Team USA has a number of pre-planned goal celebrations that have irked the competition. Tune in to this semifinals matchup, if nothing else, to see how they celebrate when they score against Canada.
Water Polo
This sport can be deceptive to watch. Who doesn’t love splashing around in the pool? It’s not as easy as it looks, though, and thanks to those underwater cameras we can see the amount of physical stamina that goes into these games. Team USA takes on Hungary in a men’s preliminary-round match.
