Jake Gibb and Tri Bourne won their opening match of the Olympics in what was also their first match ever paired together. Gibb's usual partner, Taylor Crabb, tested positive just a few days before the start of the Games and had to be replaced. Enter Bourne, who has competed against Gibb but never alongside him. Bourne was called in as a last-minute replacement, and after just a couple practice sessions together, the duo successfully defeated an Italian pairing in the tournament opener. Now, they'll try to keep the magic going against Adrian Heidrich and Mirco Gerson of Switzerland in their second preliminary match.

This will be Katie Ledecky's busiest day of the Olympics. At around 9:41 p.m. ET, she'll jump in the pool for the 200m freestyle final and a rematch against Australia's Ariarne Titmus. Titmus, who was the top qualifier out of the 200m semifinal, dethroned Ledecky in the 400m freestyle on Monday and currently has the best time this year in the 200m. Less than 90 minutes later (around 10:54 p.m. ET), Ledecky will be back in the water for the first-ever women's 1500m Olympic final. The longer the race goes, the stronger Ledecky gets — she'll be the heavy favorite in that one.

Other finals happening on Day 5: men's 200m butterfly, women's 200m individual medley and men's 4x200m freestyle relay.

The U.S. has won gold in women's time trial at the last three Olympics thanks to Kristin Armstrong. This year it'll be up to Chloe Dygert, who has been coached by Armstrong, to carry on the tradition. Dygert won the world title in 2019, becoming the youngest cyclist (male or female) to do so. Dygert suffered a serious leg laceration while trying to defend her title the following year, which kept her out of action for a while, but she's back and looking to return to the top. Although she finished 31st in the road race a few days ago, she'll be a contender in the time trial if she's at full strength.

The U.S. men saw their streak of 25 straight Olympic wins come to an end at the hands of Evan Fournier and France on Sunday, but a matchup with Iran will provide a good bounce-back opportunity. Jrue Holiday led Team USA in scoring with 18 points in the opener.

Despite being upset by Japan in the final game of the round robin, a 6-1 record was enough for the U.S. women to secure their spot in the semifinal round of the inaugural basketball 3x3 tournament.

The U.S. men finished fifth in the team event on Monday but look to rebound in the individual all-around. Three-time Olympian Sam Mikulak and newly minted U.S. all-around champ Brody Malone are the only two Americans competing in the event. 

Look to the current world all-around champion Nikita Nagornyy as the gold medal favorite just two days after helping ROC capture the men's team event. He scored a 15.166 on the parallel bars and never dipped below a 14.366 on any apparatus during that competition.
