The events to watch at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, August 8

At 1:35 p.m., there are seven track and field events, most notably the men’s 200-meter.

It’s set to be a blockbuster event for the Americans, who have the world’s fastest man, Noah Lyles, leading the way.

Lyles looks to build off his come-from-behind gold medal in the 100-meter final on Sunday.

Moreover, keep an eye on the women’s 400-meter hurdles a part of the mix.

American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning Olympic champion and world record holder, looks to defend her title.

Soon after, starting at 3:00 p.m., the superstar-laden Team USA basketball – featuring LeBron James, Steph Curry, Joel Embiid and more — face Nikola Jokić and his Serbian squad.
