Only two days remain for the USA Swimming Olympic Trials, while the US Track and Field Olympic Trials will continue through July 10. For the former, Saturday features some of the biggest events on the swimming calendar, and for the latter, things are just getting started with only a couple finals events.

The 10,000-meter race and long jump finals will both be televised on NBC, with coverage beginning at 2 p.m. ET and running through 5 p.m. A live stream of those events will also be available.

In the swimming trials, Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky and Missy Franklin will all be in action. Phelps, the most decorated US Olympian of all time, has 18 gold medals and has already qualified in the 200-meter butterfly race and will try to qualify in the 100-meter iteration of the race on Saturday as well.
Ledecky, who already has two spots thanks to wins in the 200- and 400-meter freestyle events, will participate in the 800-meter freestyle finals and the 50-meter freestyle prelims and semifinals. Franklin has qualified in the 200-meter freestyle and will try to get in with the 200-meter backstroke finals on Saturday. She fell short in the 100-meter backstroke earlier in the tournament
