At North Greenwich Arena: Gabby Douglas competes in the balance beam in the individual finals. Teammate Aly Raisman, who missed bronze in the all-around, also competes on the beam.

At Olympic Stadium: The women's 100-meter hurdles offers a strong U.S. field, including Beijing gold medalist Dawn Harper, Kellie Wells and Lolo Jones.

Americans Erik Kynard, Jesse Williams and Jamie Nieto will compete for a medal in the men's high jump.

Horse Guards Parade: Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings reached beach volleyball's final four and are on track for a possible gold medal three-peat. The Americans face China's Zhang Xi and Xue Chen, the bronze medalists in Beijing, in the semifinals. Jen Kessy and April Ross of the U.S. play Brazil's Larissa Franca and Juliana Silva.

At the Aquatics Centre: Former Longhorn Troy Dumais will go for his first gold medal in four Olympic tries in the 3-meter springboard diving.
