As the Paris 2024 Olympics enter the final stretch, Wednesday promises to be a thrilling day filled with 21 gold medal events across a spectrum of sports. Athletes from around the globe will be vying for glory, with particular attention on the track and field competitions, as well as the U.S. women's basketball team aiming to extend its historic win streak. The day kicks off spectacularly at the Stade de France with the women's pole vault final, set to begin at 12:15 p.m. ET. Nineteen elite athletes from 14 different countries will compete, including defending Olympic champion Katie Moon of the United States, who is expected to be a top contender alongside Australia’s Nina Kennedy. Their intense rivalry was showcased at last year's world championships, where they shared the podium, setting the stage for an intriguing showdown in Paris. Also taking place is the highly anticipated men's 400-meter final. Among the competitors is Quincy Hall of the U.S., alongside Great Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith and Grenada's Kirani James, who earned bronze at the Tokyo Games. The absence of defending champion Steven Gardiner, who withdrew prior to his heat, opens the door for these athletes to seize their moment on the Olympic stage. At 2:02 p.m. ET, all eyes will turn to Noah Lyles, who is now recognized as the fastest man in the world after clinching gold in the 100-meter race just days earlier. He will compete in the semifinals of the 200-meter, facing off against formidable opponents like defending champion Andre de Grasse of Canada and American sprinter Erriyon Knighton. Lyles is on the verge of making history by becoming the first American man since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win gold medals in both the 100m and 200m events. In team sports, the U.S. women's basketball team continues its dominant legacy with an impressive 58-game Olympic win streak dating back to 1992. They’ll face Nigeria in the quarterfinals, marking a historic moment for the African team that has reached this stage without any WNBA players on its roster. The matchup promises to be compelling, especially given Nigeria’s recent upsets against formidable opponents like Australia and Canada. As the day progresses, the excitement doesn’t wane. Skateboarding legend Andy Macdonald, at 51 years old, makes his Olympic debut in the men's park event. While he has a storied history in extreme sports, competing against athletes who are significantly younger adds a unique twist. The competition features gold and silver medalists from Tokyo, keeping a fierce rivalry alive. In volleyball, the U.S. men’s team is poised to make a strong run for its first gold medal since 2008, facing off against Poland in a semifinal match. The Americans have showcased remarkable skill throughout the tournament, remaining unbeaten thus far. Finally, the day’s events culminate with the buzz from the men's 1,500-meter race, a surprise highlight that saw American Cole Hocker upset pre-race favorites Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr, demonstrating the unpredictable nature of Olympic competition. As Wednesday unfolds, fans around the world can tune in to NBC and Peacock to witness these thrilling contests, ensuring a high-stakes day in the countdown to the closing ceremonies. With so much on the line, Wednesday at the Paris Olympics is set to be a day of unforgettable athletic performances and potential history-making moments.
