Team USA is currently leading in the medal count at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and is looking to add more gold medals today in swimming events. The men’s 200-meter freestyle, women’s 400-meter medley, men’s and women’s 100-meter backstroke, among others, are set to take place today, starting at 2:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC and Peacock.
Those without cable can still catch the races on various streaming services such as Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Sling, and Peacock. Ryan Murphy, a Cal alumni, is hoping for a gold medal in the 100-meter backstroke after advancing to the final. Meanwhile, Lilly King is aiming to win her second Olympic gold in the 100-meter breaststroke, with the chance to become the second woman to win three Olympic medals in the event.
In other news, Eurosport recently removed commentator Bob Ballard from its coverage after he made an inappropriate comment about women during the 4×100-meter freestyle relay. His comment was deemed offensive, and Eurosport took action by removing him from their commentary roster.
Overall, today’s swimming events promise to be exciting, with Team USA hoping to continue their success in the pool and secure more gold medals at the Olympics. Fans can tune in to NBC, Peacock, or various streaming services to catch all the action live.
