The second day of the Paris Paralympic Games features the beginning of para track and field action at Stade de France. Plus, the U.S. women's wheelchair basketball team opens its compaign, and the women's sitting volleyball team begin its quest for a third consecutive gold medal.

Below is a full breakdown of the top events and athletes to watch on Day 2 of the Paris Paralympics.

The para track and field slate at the Paris Paralympics begins on Friday with 14 medal events.

Two-time Paralympic medalist Jaleen Roberts boasts one of the first opportunites for an American para track and field medal in the women's 200m T37. The 200m isn't Roberts' premier race, but she placed third at the 2023 World Championships and has a legit medal shot. Roberts, a Kent, Washington, native, earned long jump and 100m T37 silver medals at the Tokyo Games. U.S. teammate Taylor Swanson, a fellow Washingtonian, is making her Paralympic debut in Paris and enters as another medal favorite in the 100m and 200m. The 200m final is set for 1:53 p.m. ET.

The U.S. women’s team is vying for its third consecutive wheelchair basketball medal in Paris after collecting gold at Rio 2016 and bronze at Tokyo 2020. Their Paris Paralympic journey begins on Friday at 10 a.m. ET vs. Germany.

During the tournament, the major challenge to the U.S. will come from the Netherlands, the two-time reigning world champions and the defending Paralympic champions from Tokyo. After placing third at the most recent world championships, the U.S. women are in podium position but face a tricky path to gold.

After making her Paralympic debut at age 16 at the 2012 London Games, Rose Hollermann has evolved into a superstar for the U.S. team. Hollermann led the U.S. in both points and rebounds at the most recent world championships and will look to carry the Americans in Paris. Natalie Schneider is set for her fifth Paralympic Games in Paris. At 40, she is adamant that this is her final Paralympics, telling NBC Paralympics Research, “After Paris, I swear I’m done. I’m totally done after Paris.”

The U.S. women’s sitting volleyball team is contending to win a third straight Paralympic gold medal. The Americans face China at 6 a.m. ET to kick off their journey in Paris.

It's fitting that the U.S. starts with China, a perennial powerhouse. At Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, the U.S. took down China on the route to winning gold. This U.S. squad is headlined by numerous veterans, including three-time Paralympic medalist Monique Matthews, five-time Paralympic medalist Lora Webster and U.S. Opening Ceremony flag bearer Nicky Nieves.

The path to a possible third gold medal is thorny, with challengers like Brazil and Canada having recently emerged as legitimate medal contenders. At the most recent world championships, Brazil took down the U.S. in the semifinals in straight sets and captured the nation's first-ever world title. Between the U.S., Brazil and three-time Paralympic champion China, the women’s sitting volleyball tournament in Paris should be fully loaded.
