Ashton Eaton is among three Americans hoping to thrive in the decathlon on Wednesday in Rio.
And he’s the one with the gold medal.
Also grabbing out attention is the star-studded field for the Men’s 200m semifinals, with Usain Bolt and LaShawn Merritt racing for the right to run in the final.
Also, USA’s Bernard Lagat faces Round 1 of men’s 5000m running, with Great Britain’s Mo Farah amongst his competition. And Caster Semenya takes her bows, as well.
