8:00p - 10:00p
With defending Olympic champion Liu Xiang competing, the men's 110m hurdles final was to be a defining moment for China during the Beijing Games. But Liu - widely revered in his country - withdrew during an early-round heat because of a lingering right heel injury, leaving the pursuit of gold to others. Also, the men's 400m, men's triple jump, women's 200m, and Day 1 of the decathlon. Plus, women's diving finals.
10:00p - 11:00p
It's the women's 10m platform diving gold medal final, and Laura Wilkinson is used to being the underdog. Eight years ago in Sydney she came back from eighth place to win an unexpected title while competing with broken bones in her foot. Now, at age 30, the Texan plays the underdog again, this time behind two Chinese teens half her age. Also, coverage of marquee events from track and field.
11:00p - 12:00a (8/22)
Americans Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser face Brazil's Marcio Araujo and Fabio Luiz Magalhaes in the men's beach volleyball final (LIVE ET/CT). |
