The events to watch at the Paris Olympics on Friday, August 9

US

Although the Olympics is slowly coming to a close, day 14 is still jam-packed with action.

The star-studded U.S. women’s basketball team, including A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, looks to build on its extensive Olympic success.

The squad has yet to lose an Olympic game since 1992, and at 11:30 a.m., the crew will clash with Australia for a spot in the gold medal game.

Following suit — at 1:30 p.m. — American runners will look to notch gold in the women’s 4×100-meter relay final.

In their first relay heat, speedy sprinters Gabby Thomas, Sha’Carri Richardson, Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry comfortably walked away with the best time of 41.94 seconds.

Team Germany — not in the final — was the second-best in that heat, as the crew came in 0.21 seconds after the Americans.

After garnering attention from Argentina’s 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games, breaking makes its debut as a new sport in Paris.

There’s a competition for both male and female athletes as 16 b-boys and 16 b-girls joust in solo battles.

Competitors adjust their street-style dances to match the DJ’s tracks, in hopes of getting the most votes from the nine judges.
