Summer Olympics 2016 Schedule: Rio TV, Live Stream Coverage for Sunday Events

Published by Bleacher Report on Sun, 14 Aug 2016


Sunday will see a huge number of gold medals handed out at the 2016 Rio Olympics, with the men's 100-metre sprint earning top billing.There will also be medals handed out in the women's marathon and triple jump, as well as the men's 400-metre run.There will also be finals in cycling, diving and gymnastics, among a number of other events. Here is the schedule for Sunday's finals:For a full schedule, visit Rio 2016'sofficial website. All events can be streamed live in the UK viaBBCiPlayerand viaNBC in the U.S.As he so often does, Usain Bolt will take centre stage on Sunday, when he bids for his third successive Olympic gold in the men's100-metre final.Per Sky Sports' Paul Kelso, the world's press were out in force at the Jamaican's conference on Monday:Should the 29-year-old win the 100, he'll become the only man to win gold in the event at three consecutive games, leaving behind American Carl Lewis, who won gold in 1984 and 1988.The sprinter has not enjoyed his best form this year. Per the Telegraph, Bolt's fastest time in 2016 is 9.88 seconds, which has been surpassed by France's Jimmy Vicaut and twice apiece by American duo Justin Gatlin and Trayvon Bromell.Nevertheless, Bolt appears relaxed ahead of Sunday's showpiece race.Per the Guardian's Sean Ingle, at his press conferencewhich ended with Bolt joining dancers on stage in a sambahe said: "For the 100 metres, it is never really stressful, I know where I am weakest and strongest."On his form, he added: "It has not been the perfect build-up, but I am in much better shape. Ive been training well, and thats the key thing. But I never try to pick out one person as a main rival, it is all about the eight people on the day."Indeed, Ingle believes Bolt stands a strong chance of not only winning the 100, but also the 200-metre dash and the 4x100-metre relay, a so-called "treble" of golds:Aside from his disqualification in the 100 at the 2011 World Championships for a false start, since Bolt's stunning victory in Beijing, he has never lost a race at either the world championships or the Olympics.The likes of Gatlin or compatriot Yohan Blake will be hoping to change that on Sunday, but it would not be a surprise if the Jamaican made history once again.
