Paris Preview for Sunday, Aug. 4: Suni Lee in gymnastics spotlight, Noah Lyles runs the 100

Track action heats up on Sunday with several Americans in the running to be crowned the world's fastest man. Plus, more gymnastics medals up for grabs.

PARIS, France — It’s time to crown the world’s fastest man. Plus, the action is heating up at the track and more medals are on the line at the pool on Sunday at the 2024 Olympics.

Here's some of the key events coming up on Sunday, Aug. 4 at the 2024 Paris Olympics: 

Suni Lee on uneven bars

Suni Lee is among those competing in the women's uneven bars, three years after taking bronze in that event at the Tokyo Games. She was second on the apparatus in the all-around competition, won by Biles in impressive fashion on Thursday.

The event starts at 3:40 p.m. CEST/9:40 a.m. EDT.

Who will be the world's fastest man? 

Reigning world champion Noah Lyles looks to become the first American to win the 100-meter dash at the Summer Games since 2004.

Lyles, Kenny Bednarek and Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson are among the top contenders in the race on the track at Saint-Denis.

After getting off to a sluggish start in his first heat in the men's 100 meters, Lyles vowed not to underestimate his competitors the next time around. 

The semifinals begin at 8:05 p.m. CEST/2:05 p.m. EDT, with the final set for 9:50 CEST/3:50 EDT.

Other track and field medals up for grabs Sunday include women’s high jump and men’s hammer throw.

Swimming competition wraps up 

The swimming competition wraps up with finals including the men’s and women’s 4x100-meter medley relays.

The swimming program features the women's 50-meter freestyle final at 6:30 CEST/12:30 EDT, with American Gretchen Walsh going for her third medal of the Paris Games. She took home silver in the 100-meter butterfly and as part of the 4x100-meter freestyle relay.

Immediately after that, it's Ireland's Daniel Wiffen's turn again in the men's 1,500-meter freestyle. The 23-year-old already won the 800-meter race for Ireland's first Olympic swimming gold medal in nearly three decades.

The men's and women's 4x100-meter medley relay finals are the final swimming events in the Paris Games pool, scheduled for 7:10 p.m. CEST/1:10 EDT and 7:32/1:32.

US women's basketball vs. Germany

The U.S. has not lost a women's basketball game at the Olympics since 1992 in Barcelona. The Americans have already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals and are aiming to extend their Games winning streak to 58.

Germany, like the U.S., is 2-0 in group play. Tip-off is 5:15 p.m. CEST/11:15 a.m. EDT.
