Swimming trials will also wrap up on Sunday, leaving track and field and women’s gymnastics as the only significant sports with ongoing or not-yet-completed trials. Sunday will feature the men and women’s 100- and 400-meter race finals, which will be broadcast on NBC live beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. A live stream will also be available via NBC Sports.
Other finals on the day include the men’s long jump and the women’s high jump, which both should be available in the first of two NBC Sports live streams. Those events will not be televised, but the streams should contain all you need to keep track.
The men’s 110-meter hurdle, discus throw, pole vault, javelin and 1,500-meter decathlon events will be joined by the 100-meter semifinals on Sunday. The women’s side will just include the aforementioned 100- and 400-meter race finals and the high jump finals.
