Tokyo Olympics schedule: Women's basketball one win away from seventh straight gold medal on Day 16

Show Caption

This is it, the last day to catch live Olympic action before the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Games. The United States will walk away with more medals than any other country, but there are still a few key events to keep an eye on.

Headlining the final day of competition will be the gold-medal game in women’s basketball. Team USA takes its 54-game Olympic winning streak into the final against Japan in pursuit of a seventh consecutive gold medal. The team hopes to send Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi out in style as the legendary stars could become the first players – women or men – in Olympic history to win five gold medals in basketball.

Follow that action up with the women’s volleyball final, as the U.S. seeks its first Olympic gold against a familiar nemesis – Brazil. The U.S. women's volleyball team has medaled at the past three Olympics – bronze in 2016 and silvers in 2008 and 2012 – but it lost in the gold-medal match to Brazil at both Beijing and London.

Boxing rounds out the late-night action, with two Americans in gold-medal bouts: Keyshawn Davis (men’s lightweight) and Richard Torrez Jr. (men’s super heavyweight).
