EVENTS TO WATCH:
- Swimming Finals: Brendan Hansen vs. Kosuke Kitajima in Men's 100m Breaststroke (LIVE on NBC, LIVE BLOG Coverage on NOW Sports)
Hansen is entered in only one individual event at these games after qualifying for only the 100m Breaststroke at the swimming trials last month. Kitajima is the overwhelming favorite as he looked consistently strong in the preliminaries and in yesterday's semifinals. While Kitajima is a threat to Hansen, his biggest rival may be himself. The world record holder placed third in his heat and performed poorly in the preliminaries. Meanwhile, look out for Norway's Alexander Dale Oen who swam an Olympic record time in the semifinals, a time of 59.16.
Three other finals will take place tonight as well, including the Men's 4x100 meter freestyle relay, an event whose world record was broken earlier today by the United States swimming team. The women's 100m butterfly final and women's 400m freestyle final will take place this morning as well in Beijing.
