Finals (9:30 p.m., NBC)
Katie Ledecky enters Tokyo ranked second in the world this year in the 400m free, which she won in Rio in a world record that still stands. Australian Ariarne Titmus is reigning world champion and is 2.35 seconds faster than Ledecky this year after posting the second-fastest time in history at her Olympic Trials. In other finals, Brit Adam Peaty puts on the line a seven-year unbeaten streak in major international meets in the 100m breaststroke, where he owns the top 18 times in history. The men’s 4x100m free, a storied race since 2000, caps the night. It should be between the defending champion U.S. and Russia, which has the best 2021 team on paper with four of the world’s top 12.
Bob Fitzgerald, the play-by-play voice of the Golden State Warriors on NBC Sports Bay Area since 1997, works his fifth Olympics and second for NBC Olympics handling basketball play-by-play. Kate Scott will also handle play-by-play in her NBC Olympics debut.
First-time NBC Olympic basketball analysts in Tokyo this summer include Vince Carter, an eight-time NBA All-Star who played a record 22 NBA seasons, Kara Lawson, the head coach of the Duke University women’s basketball team, and Candace Parker, a two-time WNBA MVP and two-time college player of year. Zora Stephenson, who joins NBC Sports this summer, also makes her NBC Olympics debut in Tokyo, serving as a basketball reporter.
Fran Fraschilla returns to NBC Olympics’ basketball coverage as an analyst, reprising his role from the 2016 Rio Olympics, while fellow analyst Monica McNutt, a studio analyst for women’s basketball for ACC Network since 2019, makes her NBC Olympics debut this summer.
