The first round of elimination matches continues on Day 8 in beach volleyball and it’s moving day in golf as the men play their third Olympic round.
In rowing, what has become a U.S. dynasty in the women’s eight could continue with an 11th-straight world title if coxswain Katelin Snyder has the women in her boat working in unison.
The women’s singles tennis gold and bronze medal matches will be played, but it’s not the No. 1 seeded American competing on the final day. Look for Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, who will run his first race in Rio in the first round of the men’s 100m in track and field.
