Katie Ledecky, the swimming sensation, is expected to be a key player in the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay. Known for her endurance and speed, Ledecky has been a mainstay of American swimming dominance. Watching her glide through the water, you'd think she was part dolphin—certainly one of the highlights of the day.

Track and field fans, the wait is over. The day's events kick off with the 20-kilometer race walk. This grueling event requires not only speed but also flawless technique, as competitors must keep one foot on the ground at all times. It's an often overlooked but fascinating spectacle in the athletics realm.

Switching from the track to the lush greens, the men's golf competition begins its first round today at 10 a.m. Expect some serious swings from the powerhouse trio of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Ludvig Aberg. With such talent on display, spectators are in for some thrilling strokes and perhaps a few unexpected birdies.
