The 5 Best Olympic Events to Watch Today (Day 14: Friday, August 10th)

None

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: USA and Jamaica

Time: 2:45 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: After seeing their countrywomen cruise to the finals, both the American and Jamaican men's relay teams look to do the same. The Americans, who likely have a chip on their shoulder after seeing Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake take the gold and silver medals in the 100m, and watching the Jamaicans sweep the 200m with Bolt leading the way, will be looking to one-up the Jamaicans in the relay.

Team(s)/Athlete of Interest: Vasyl Lomenchenko

Time: 4:00 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: Ukrainian Vasyl Lomenchenko takes on Cuba's Yasnier Toledo in this semifinal fight. Lomenchenko was tested last round against Felix Verdejo, but showed his defensive ability and fast footwork to hold off the Puerto Rican to pull out the W. Its a good thing for him that he got a chance to test his defense because Toledo is an attacker, and will force Lomenchenko to play defense for most of the fight.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Spain

Time: 12:00 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: After knocking out France in the quarterfinals, Spain looks to edge out Russia in the semis. Having arguably the best front court in the Olympics with the Gasol Brothers and Serge Ibaka coming off the bench, Spain is looking to dominate the Russians in the post. This won't be an easy feat however. With Timofey Mozgov holding down the paint with 12.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, and AK-47 able to defend inside, the Russians might be able to match the Spaniard's inside presence.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: USA and Argentina

Time: 4:00 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: These teams played each other on Monday and it got a little chippy with cheap shots and low blows being thrown, with Carmelo Anthony taking the worst of it. Melo and Team USA didn't forget about this and the other cheap shots that came from the Argentines, and will be looking to dole out some punishment of their own.

In what might be the last opportunity for Argentina's Golden Generation to reach the gold medal game, Manu Ginobili and Co. will be pulling out all of the stops, which might include some shots to the groin (look out Melo), so the Americans better be prepared for a fight.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Jamaica and USA

Time: 3:40 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: The Jamaicans and the Americans face each other on the track for the second time today. With a surging, newly crowned 200m champ in Allyson Felix, the Americans are coming into the finals with more confidence than the Jamaicans would have liked. With all of their recent victories over the Jamaicans, the only thing that looks like it could stop the Americans from winning is someone dropping the baton like in Beijing.
