Thursday will bring another full day of competition at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, with four more gold medal finals in swimming set to take place. The United States hopes to add to their medal count, as does Michael Phelps. The world’s most famous swimmer will have to deal with fellow United States swimmer and chief rival Ryan Lochte. The two men will go head-to-head in the men’s 200m individual medley.

The action will be tape-delayed on NBC until prime time on Thursday night, but you can stream all of the gold medal finals live on NBC LIve Extra throughout the day.

Each of Thurday’s gold medal finals have two United States swimmers attempting to take it all. It’s possible that the Americans could end up with another eight medals in swimming alone at the end of the day. Here is the full schedule for Thursday’s medal events. All times are Eastern.

2:40 p.m. - Women’s 200m Breaststroke
2:48 p.m. - Men’s 200m Backstroke
