The five biggest events and storylines to follow on Monday at the Rio Olympics.
Field hockey
The red-hot U.S. women’s team plays Germany (11:30 a.m. ET) in the quarterfinals. The American women have never won Olympic gold in the sport.
Gymnastics
Simone Biles will compete for her fourth gold medal in Rio. She and Laurie Hernandez will represent the U.S. in the final on beam (2:40 p.m. ET). Biles could win an unprecedented five gold medals at the Rio Olympics if she sweeps her remaining events.
Track and field
Allyson Felix is a medal contender in the women’s 400 with the final coming up in the evening. The women’s 200 also gets under way along with men’s 400 hurdles. In the men’s 800, Americans Clayton Murphy and Boris Berian have advanced to Monday night’s final.
Open water swimming
The women’s race takes place at a course along iconic Copacabana beach. While the city’s water quality has made headlines around the world the last couple years, open water swimmers say they aren’t overly concerned. American Haley Anderson won silver in the event four years ago in London.
Beach volleyball
In the men’s tournament, Americans Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena take on Brazil’s top team of Bruno Schmidt and Alison Cerutti in the quarterfinals.
