Olympics schedule and events to watch Sunday
By Meg Wagner
The Summer 2020 Olympic Games are underway in Tokyo. If you’re watching in the US, here’s a look at some of the key events to check out today. Remember: Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard Time, but many of the events are replayed in US primetime hours.
Gymnastics: There are several event finals starting at 4 a.m. ET — the men’s floor exercise, the women’s vault, the men’s pommel horse and the women’s uneven bars. You can watch them live online, or catch replayed highlights at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.
Beach volleyball: NBC will cover the women’s round of 16 matches live starting at 8 p.m. ET. (Because of the time difference, the event is being played Monday morning in Japan.)
Diving: The women’s 3 meter springboard final will air live at 2 a.m. ET on USA. You can also catch replayed highlights on NBC starting at 7 p.m. ET.
Tennis: Germany’s Alexander Zverev will play Karen Khachanov of the Russian Olympic Committee in the men’s singles final. The match airs at 5:30 p.m. ET on USA.
Badminton: The women’s singles gold medal game at Musashino Forest Sports Plaza will be broadcast live starting at 8:40 a.m. ET on NBC Sports.
