Full schedule for Saturday, July 24th in the Tokyo 2021 Summer Olympics

The fullest day of competition at the 2020 Tokyo Games begins, with 21 of the 29 sports having competition on the first of three Saturdays that will make up the Games calendar.

Team USA gets started in basketball where they were already the heavy favorite, and now even more so with Liz Cambage of Australia no longer participating in the Games. The US is -1100 to win their seventh consecutive gold medal, and ninth in 12 total games since Montreal in 1976 where the sport has been offered.

Also men’s volleyball begins as well, and the USA will be an underdog to take home a medal in a tough group. The Americans picked up a bronze in Rio in 2016 after getting shut out in London in 2012, but will be in a tough group that includes favorite Brazil, the ROC team (Russia), Argentina, France, and Tunisia.

As a reminder, there is a 13-hour time difference between the Eastern Time zone and Japan Standard time.
