Coverage begins at 7:30 a.m. ET with heats and repêchages in a number of rowing competitions. The first real intrigue of the day may come at 9 a.m. with the beach volleyball match between Brazil’s Larissa França and Talita Antunes and Russia’s Evgenia Ukolova and Ekaterina Birlova.
From there, beach volleyball will be a staple throughout the day with preliminary matches scheduled from start to finish. On the American side, Lauren Fendrick and Brooke Sweat will make their Olympic debut at 10 a.m. against Poland's Kinga Kołosińska and Monika Brzostek. At 3:30 p.m., 2008 Olympic gold medal winner Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena take on Tunisia's Mohamed Arafet Naceur and Choaib Belhaj Salah.
Other major things to watch on Sunday include the women’s road race, the men’s gold medal bout in fencing and several medal events in swimming, including the men’s 4x100-meter freestyle relay and women’s 400-meter freestyle final. Katie Ledecky, who won Olympic gold in the 800-meter freestyle four years ago at age 15, will look to begin a hyped run in Rio with the 400-meter freestyle.
There’s also lots of basketball, including Brazil vs. Lithuania, Croatia vs. Spain and Nigeria vs. Argentina on the men’s side. For women’s hoops, USA vs. Senegal, Serbia vs. Spain, Australia vs. Turkey and France vs. Belarus are on tap for Sunday.
