Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky have had the lion’s share of the Olympics spotlight this week—and for good reason. But Friday could mark the beginning of a transition to a new part of the Paris Games.
Mind you, Ledecky will be a part of Day 7 of the 2024 Olympics, in the 800-meter freestyle relay heats. Caeleb Dressel, meanwhile, will compete in the 50-meter freestyle finals as well. And the transition into the track-and-field segment of the games gets further underway, with qualifying rounds including Sha’Carri Richardson’s heat in the 100 meters. It’s also win-or-go-home time for the U.S. men’s soccer team, which faces Morocco in the quarterfinals.
