A semifinal for U.S. women's basketball, Sha'Carri Richardson runs relay and more in Paris on Friday

The final Friday of the 2024 Olympics brings key knockout rounds for some of Team USA’s top squads, while Sha’Carri Richardson takes the track for the last time in Paris.

U.S. women’s basketball faces Australia in its semifinal, looking for a chance to move on to the gold medal match for the eighth straight time. The team has dominated at the Olympics so far, winning each game by at least double digits.

In the pool, the U.S. men’s water polo team faces Serbia in the semifinal. It is the first time the U.S. is in the men’s water polo semifinal of an Olympic Games since 2008. The Serbians have won back-to-back gold medals in the event and are looking to become just the third men’s team to win three in a row.

On the track, the men’s and women’s 4×100 relay teams will compete in the finals. It marks the last opportunity for Richardson to add another medal to her tally at the 2024 Paris Games. Later in the day, Rai Benjamin will look for his first Olympic gold medal in the 400m men’s hurdles.

Here’s what to look out for Friday.
