3×3 Basketball
Both men’s and women’s 3×3 basketball will begin their quest for gold in Paris Tuesday.
Both are considered medal favorites in the event, but they’ll face some stiff competition ahead of them if they’re going to succeed.
Coverage begins at 10:30 a.m. CT on NBC 5.
Rugby
The United States women’s rugby team will have a chance to make some history on Tuesday in Paris, but they’ll face a tough road if they want to bring home a medal in the competition.
The Americans took a big step toward that goal on Monday with their win over Great Britain, but things won’t get easier on Tuesday on the final day of the tournament.
Coverage begins at 8:30 a.m. CT on USA and 10 a.m. on NBC 5. Bronze and gold medal coverage begins at 12 p.m. CT on E!
Surfing
Surfers competing in the Paris Games are facing off in Tahiti, an island in French Polynesia, roughly 9,800 miles from Paris. The sport is relatively new in the Olympics as it debuted at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.
Already making waves, however, was Gabriel Medina, whose epic photo became a huge hit in the Olympic event.
The events will re-air in primetime coverage, which begins at 7 p.m. CT.
Other things to watch
Several other big events will take place Tuesday, including many featuring Chicago-area athletes.
Men’s volleyball and men’s soccer are among those with local athletes competing Tuesday.
