Thursday may be remembered as the day that three Americans who are the greatest Americans ever in their sport, had their signature moment. Kayla Harrison on the judo mat is now not only the only American to ever win gold, she’s won it twice in a row. Simone Biles became the first American woman to win the Olympics all-around and the World Championships all-around (and she has three of those!). And finally in the pool Michael Phelps became the first swimmer ever to win the same event in four straight Olympics and has *22* gold medals now.

August 11th Recap:

Badminton

The badminton tournament in the Olympics often can result in startling mismatches between players who are among the elite in the world and others who may be the best in their country but just aren’t on that level we saw. The tournament begins with a group stage where the Americans went 1-3 on Thursday. Phillip Chew and Jamie Subandhi opened mixed doubles play against Song Hyun Ko/Ha Na Kim with a 10-21, 12-21 loss. They play again at 2:30 PM on Friday and might be eliminated with a loss. Chew and Sattawat Pongnairat had the worst loss of the day 6-21, 7-21 to Haifeng Fu/Nan Zhang in the men’s doubles. Chew and Pongnairat play again at 7:25 AM on Friday and are probably eliminated with a loss. Iris Wang was the sole American to get a win as she defeated Lianne Tan in women’s singles 21-17, 20-22, 21-14. Wang faces Telma Santos on Friday at 6:30 PM. In women’s doubles it was Eva Lee and Paula Lynn Obanana losing 14-21, 12-21 to Kyung Eun Jung/Seung Chan Shin. Lee and Obanana play again at 2:55 PM on Friday and could be eliminated with a loss.

Beach Volleyball

Lauren Fendrick and Brooke Sweat need to win their final pool match against Ekaterina Birlova and Evgenia Ukolova to advance but couldn’t get the result losing 18–21, 26–24, 13–15 and ending their Olympics 0-3 and in last place in their pool. Things went better for Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena against Daniele Lupo and Paolo Nicolai as their final pool match was an epic 21–13, 17–21, 24–22 win. Yes they went 16 points past 15-15 in this one. Dalhausser and Lucena are seeded into the round of 16 where they’ll play on Saturday against Alexander Huber/Robin Seidl, the same team that beat Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson in their pool.

Canoe

The final slalom competitions were on Thursday in Rio. Casey Eichfeld and Devin McEwan advanced to the men’s C2 final, though that was only finishing ahead of one other team in the 11-team semifinal. In the final they finished tenth. It was a remarkable run of consistency for Eichfeld and McEwan who finished tenth in the preliminaries, the semifinals, and the final. Ashley Nee was eliminated in the women’s K1 semifinals after finishing 14th.

Cycling

Track cycling began on Thursday with the women’s team pursuit qualifying round. Kelly Catlin, Chloe Dygert, Sarah Hammer, and Jennifer Valente went for the US as they posted the second best time behind Great Britain. The two were far and away the top times and if they can win their first round matchups on Saturday at 10:17 AM they’ll go for gold in the final. The US will face Australia on Saturday in that first round with the faster team advancing.

Equestrian

The US team in the dressage competition finished the Grand Prix round in third place and advanced all four of their riders to the Grand Prix Special round on Friday at 9 AM. Steffen Peters posted the sixth best score at 77.614 and Laura Graves posted the fifth best score at 78.071. The American average is 76.971. The Americans are well behind second but a bronze looks very winnable on Friday.

 

Fencing

The team evens began in fencing on Thursday with the US women’s epee team of Katharine Holes, Courtney Hurley, and Kelley Hurley. The US was right with Romania in the quarterfinals to start but lost in overtime and dropped the match 23-24. The loss knocked the US into the 5th-8th bracket. The US finished better from there defeating France 32-28 and Korea 22-18 to finish fifth.

 

Field Hockey

The US moved to 4-0 in field hockey in Rio after beating India 3-0. Katie Bam scored twice with Melissa Gonzalez adding the third for the US. The US will finish first or second in the group depending on how their final match goes on Saturday against Great Britain at 5 PM. The US is ahead on goal differential so they’ll win the group if there is a draw.

 

Golf

The first round in golf was pretty much a disaster for the US players as three may have played themselves out of contention. Rickie Fowler four-putted #1 for a double bogey and finished tied for 56th at +4. Bubba Watson wasn’t much better finishing +2 and tied for 42nd. Patrick Reed closed with a birdie to get back to +1 and is tied for 34th. The only American contending is Matt Kuchar who got to -2 and is tied for 11th. He’s three strokes behind the two tied for silver going into round two.

Gymnastics

Things went about as expected in the women’s all-around. Simone Biles had some margin for error with the difficulty of her routines and delivered a solid performance to win gold. Biles went 15.866 on vault to open and was only second briefly after a 14.966 on the uneven bars. She handled the pressure on balance beam with a 15.433 and then cruised on the floor with a big cushion and scored a 15.933.

Aly Raisman followed a similar story to Biles to grab silver. Raisman started 15.633 on vault and 14.166 on uneven bars and was barely out of the medals halfway through. A 14.866 on the balance beam combined with the third place woman slipping up allowd Raisman to slide back into the medals. By the team her floor routine was happening she only needed a 14.001 to win silver and she easily did that at 15.433.

Judo

In the final day of judo for the US Kayla Harrison dominated the field to win back-to-back gold in the women’s 78kg division. Harrison is the only one of the 12 judoka to win gold in Rio so far who scored automatic match ending ippons in each of their contests. Harrison dispatched Zhehui Zhang in the round of 16, Abigel Joo in the quarterfinals, and Anamari Velensek in the semifinals before she defeated Audrey Tcheumeo in the final.

Rowing

Thursday was the first day that US rowers had a shot at a medal but none were able to win one. Tracy Eisser, Megan Kalmoe, Grace Latz, and Adrienne Martelli finished fifth in the women’s quadruple sculls final and Meghan O’Leary and Ellen Tomek were sixth in the women’s double sculls final. Thursday was also finals or bust day for a lot of US rowing teams. Of the five boats rowing for a final berth on Thursday three made it while two were relegated to a final B.

The first team to advance to the final was Grace Luczak and Felice Mueller in the women’s pair. Luczak and Mueller were second in their heat and will be part of the final on Friday at 10:04 AM. The first men to advance to a final were Andrew Campbell and Joshua Konieczny in the men’s lightweight double sculls. A second place finish in their semifinal means Campbell and Konieczny will be in the final at 9:44 AM on final. Also making it to the final but by winning their heat were the men’s eight team of Mike DiSanto, Sam Dommer, Austin Hack, Alex Karwoski, Stephen Kasprzyk, Rob Munn, Glenn Ochal, Hans Struzyna, and Sam Ojserkis. The Americans will be going for gold on Saturday in the very last rowing event at 10:24 AM.

Getting sent to final B were Kate Bertko and Devery Karz, in the women’s lightweight double sculls. Having come through the repechage Bertko and Karz didn’t have enough in the semifinals and finished fifth in their semifinal. They’ll have one more row in Rio on Friday at 8:10 AM for seventh place in final B. Also missing out on the final was the men’s four team of Charlie Cole, Henrik Rummel, Matt Miller, and Seth Weil. They were in second half halfway through but were passed twice and finished fourth. They’ll participate in final B on Friday at 8:40 AM.

Two US crews finished out their Olympics on Thursday in a final B. Nareg Guregian and Anders Weiss finished fifth in the men’s pair final B, 11th overall in Rio, while Anthony Fahden, Edward King, Tyler Nase, and Robin Prendes were fourth in the men’s lightweight four final B, 10th overall in Rio.

Rugby Sevens

The US men finished ninth in Rio with a strong finish against Spain. Tries from Danny Barrett, Maka Unufem and two from Carlin Isles for the US in a 24-12 win. The US will now get back to focusing on improving in the Sevens World Series next year and they will start to dream about the Rugby Sevens World Cup being held in San Jose/San Francisco in 2018.

Sailing

Bora Gulari and Louisa Chafee in the mixed Nacra 17 race finished their four races on Thursday in 21st, 12th, 21st, and 4th. They dropped five spots to 16th overall with races #7, #8, and #8 on Saturday at 12:05 PM. Caleb Paine in the finn class finished races #5 and #6 in 14th and 24th and dropped eight spots to 15th overall. Races #7 and #8 are Saturday at 12:05 PM.

David Hughes and Stuart McNay in the men’s 470 finished races #3 and #4 in eighth and 13th to drop two spots to tenth overall. They have races #5 and #6 on Friday at 12:05 PM. In the women’s 470 Annie Haeger and Briana Provancha finished races #3 and #4 in tenth and second but dropped three spots to sixth overall. They have races #5 and #6 on Friday at 12:15 PM.

Pedro Pascual in the men’s RS:X was 22nd, 26th, and 28th in races #7, #8 and #9 on Thursday. He stayed in 30th overall with his final three races, #10, #11, and #12 on Friday at 12:15 PM. Marion Lepert finished women’s RS:X races #6, #7, and #8 in sixth, 23rd, and 15th. She fell two spots to 12th. Races #10, #11 and #12 on Friday at 12:05 PM may end her time in Rio as she needs to move up to the top ten but is quite a few points back.

 

Shooting

The only event on Thursday was the women’s 50m 3 rifle Sarah Scherer was off the pace scoring a 570 to finish 33rd while Ginny Thrasher made a great run at the final but finish 11th with a 581. 582’s got into a shoot-off for the final.

Swimming

Another amazing day for the US in the pool started in the afternoon session with swimmers attempting to advance. Nathan Adrian and Anthony Ervin had no problems in the men’s 50m freestyle as they went 2-3 in the heats before Ervin finished second with Adrian fourth in the semifinals. They’ll go for gold in the final on Friday night at 9:44 PM. Katie Ledecky and Leah Smith moved on to the women’s 800m freestyle final as Ledecky set a new Olympic record and Smith finished fourth in the heats. The 800m freestyle final is Friday night at 9:20 PM.

The final men’s event of the afternoon was the men’s 100m butterfly and both Tom Shields and Michael Phelps had no problems. Phelps was fourth in the heats and fifth in the semifinals while Shields was third in the heats and sixth in the semifinals. They’ll go for gold at 9:12 PM on Friday night. The final women’s event of the afternoon was the 200m backstroke. Missy Franklin advanced in 14th but was eliminated in the semifinals while Maya DiRado was third in both the heats and semifinals and will go for gold on Friday night at 9:03 PM.

In the evening session Ryan Murphy won the men’s 200m backstroke, sweeping the backstroke events in Rio, while Jacob Pebley was fifth. In the men’s 200m individual medley Michael Phelps won yet another gold with Ryan Lochte missing out on the medal stand in fifth. The final medals of the night were awarded in the women’s 100m freestyle and it was an absolute stunner as 20-year-old Simone Manuel surprised everyone swimming an Olympic record time and tying for gold with 16-year-old Canadian swimmer Penny Oleksiak. Young speed… wow. Abbey Weitzeil finished seventh.

Tennis

Thursday was a good day for the US in tennis as all four Americans who needed a win to stay in medal contention got one. Madison Keys beat Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 6-1 but will now face a stiff test in Angelique Kerber in the semifinals. On the men’s side Steve Johnson beat Evgeny Donskoy 6-1, 6-1 but now has to face world #2 Andy Murray in the quarterfinals. Rajeev Ram and Venus Williams knocked off Kiki Bertens/Jean-Julien Rojer 6-7(4), 7-6(3), [10-8] in the mixed doubles round of 16 and now face Roberta Vinci/Fabio Fognini for a semifinal berth. The other mixed doubles team of Jack Sock and Bethanie Mattek-Sands beat Johanna Konta/Jamie Murray 6-4, 6-3 and now face Teliana Pereira/Marcelo Melo in the quarterfinals.

The only loss was in men’s doubles where Johnson and Sock lost to Florin Mergea/Horja Tecau 3-6, 5-7 and now are in the bronze final against Daniel Nestor/Vasek Popisil. Sock may have a good shot at a medal in mixed doubles but with Johnson facing Murray in the singles quarterfinals this is clearly his best shot at at a medal.

Volleyball

The US men got a massive win over Brazil on Thursday night 3-1 (25-20, 25-23 20-25, 25-20), their first win in Rio. The US is now up to fourth in their group and face 2-1 France on Saturday at 4:05 PM.

 

Water Polo

The US women are dominating opposition in Rio so far with a 12-4 win over China on Thursday. Though all four teams advance to the quarterfinals the US looks in great form and face 1-1 Hungary next on Saturday at 12 PM to end the group stage.

As you would expect, NBC will have LIVE coverage of the water polo.

August 12th Preview:

All times ET!! All events should be available online via NBC’s Olympic website and apps (assuming a cable package that gives you access). What is live in ET/CT is often tape delayed in MT/PT. Yell at NBC for their ridiculous decision to tape delay an Olympics happening one hour east of ET, it’s insane. Schedules of competition and of course TV coverage subject to change, especially if the US competitors unexpectedly advance in a competition.

Archery

The final day of archery competition in Rio is on Friday. The two Americans left, Brady Ellison and Zach Garrett, are battling in the round of 16 at 9:31 AM. The quarterfinal the winner shoots in won’t be until the afternoon at 2:39 PM and if they win there the rest of the afternoon follows quickly with the semifinals at 3:11 PM, the bronze final at 3:27 PM, and the gold final at 3:43 PM.

NBCSN will have LIVE coverage of the morning round of 16 and MSNBC of the finals LIVE after 3 PM in the afternoon.

Badminton

Friday the group stage in badminton continues and for the American doubles teams despite having one more match left it could be a dead rubber for them if they lose today and the other results in their group go the wrong way. Howard Shu faces Tommy Sugiarto to start the day at 7 AM with their opening group match. Shu’s group is only three players so a loss would take the chance to advance out of his control. In the next round of matches at 7:25 AM Phillip Chew and Sattawat Pongnairat face Shem Goh V/Wee Kiong Tan in men’s doubles. There’s two matches together again in the afternoon as Chew and Jamie Subandhi are in mixed doubles against Kenta Kazuno/Ayane Kurihara at 2:30 PM and then at 2:55 PM Eva Lee and Paula Lynn Obanana face Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter Juhl in women’s doubles. Iris Wang wraps up the day against Telma Santos at 6:30 PM in women’s singles play.

NBCSN will be covering the two men’s matches on tape delay between 12 and 3 PM.

Basketball

With the US men and women locked into the quarterfinals at this point the goal is keeping their undefeated records intact as they look to top their groups and prepare for the knockout rounds. The US men face 1-2 Serbia at 6 PM while the women face fellow 3-0 Canada at 2:30 PM in what could be a decent game.

NBCSN will have LIVE coverage of the two basketball games.

Beach Volleyball

The knockout tournaments swing into action on Friday with the round of 16 for many of the teams including April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings. Ross and Walsh Jennings will face Laura Giombini/Marta Menegatti at 10:59 PM. Giombini/Menegatti were the only team that finished third in their pool to win a majority of the points they played so they could be a decent test for the Americans.

NBC plans to carry the match LIVE tonight.

Boxing

After a day with no competitors for the US there are three bouts involving Americans on Friday. Nico Hernandez leads off with Hasanboy Dusmatov at 11:15 AM in the semifinals. Hernandez is already assured a bronze (all semifinal losers get bronze medals) so a spot in the final is at stake but he’ll still medal either way. Fighting for a medal in the lightweight division will be Carlos Balderas vs. Lazaro Alvarez right after Hernandez’s bout at 11:30 AM. The final match of the day is at 4:30 PM as the women’s events get underway. Mikaela Mayer will be facing Jennifer Chieng in the lightweight round of 16.

NBCSN will have tape delayed coverage between 8 and 9 PM and 11 PM-12 AM.

Diving

After a day with no diving Kassidy Cook and Abby Johnston will compete in the women’s 3m springboard. They’ll need to finish in the top 18 to advance to the semifinals tomorrow.

NBC will have delayed coverage of the final on between 2:30 and 5 PM as well as in late night between 12:35 and 1:35 AM.

Equestrian

Going into the Grand Prix Special round on Friday the US team of Laura Graves, Steffen Peters, Kasey Perry-Glass, and Allison Brock are in third place. The team event wraps up Friday but the scores are combined between the Grand Prix round and the Grand Prix Special round. The US score of 76.971 means it’ll be hard to move up to the gold or silver but they have a great shot at bronze. In addition to the team event the top 18 individual riders (based only on Friday’s scores) will advance to the Grand Prix Freestyle event on Monday. Because the US is in the top 3 teams they will compete at the end of the competition with only the other riders from those teams. The US will know what they need to average to get a medal. Allison Brock goes at 1:02 PM, Kasey Glass-Perry goes at 1:29 PM, Steffen Peters goes at 2:11 PM, and Laura Graves will go last at 2:38 PM.

 

Equestrian will be covered on delay on MSNBC in their 3-5 PM window.

Fencing

On Friday it’ll be the US men’s foil team of Miles Chamley-Watson, Alexander Massialas, and Gerek Meinhardt who take their turn in the team events. This is the only men’s team for the US in Rio (they didn’t qualify in epee and there is no sabre tournament this time around). They’ll face Egypt in their opener at 8 AM in the quarterfinals. If they win the semifinals would be at 11 AM with the bronze final at 4 PM and the gold final at 5 PM. If they lose they’d face a 5th-8th place semifinal at 9:30 AM followed by a 7th or 5th place match at 12:15 PM.

You might find coverage LIVE on USA of the quarterfinals, LIVE on USA of the semifinals, and LIVE on CNBC of the final.

Golf

After a disastrous first round the US will try to get back on the right track Friday. Patrick Reed is tied for 34th at +1 tees off at 7:25 AM. Rickie Fowler is tied for 56th at +4 and tees off at 8:03 AM. Matt Kuchar got to -2 and is tied for 11th as he tees off at 9:58 AM. Finally Bubba Watson is +2 and tied for 42nd and tees off at 10:09 AM.

Where else would you go but the Golf Channel for coverage of this LIVE all day.

Gymnastics

There are still gymnastics on Friday, just not the kind we’ve been watching as trampoline is the focus the next two days. Nicole Ahsinger will be second from the start at 1:03 PM in the qualification round. If she scores high enough to place in the top eight she’ll advance to the final at 2:42 PM.

No planned TV coverage.
