Katie Ledecky, 19, will return to the event that made her a household name. She stunned swim fans at London 2012 by taking the gold in the 800m freestyle in a dominant fashion. When she jumps into the pool for Rio 2016’s 800m qualifiers and semis, will she show why people think she’s going to go back-to-back?
For those who like their action on dry land, Simone Biles, 19, will look to slay at the Women’s individual all-around gymnastics event. She leads the qualification field, followed by fellow Final Five member, Aly Raisman, 22. If you can’t make it to your TV or you don’t have cable, don’t worry. HollywoodLife.com has all the info you need to know.
Though the “only two athletes per country” rule prevented Gabby Douglas, 20, from joining them, she’ll likely cheer on her teammates as they go for the gold (and silver!) There will also be medal events in rowing, shooting, canoe/kayak, archery, judo, cycling, fencing, rugby, and arguably the most popular event – table tennis!
