Here are five things to know about Sunday at the Rio Olympics. Click here<\/strong><\/a> to find out when and where to watch the best of Sunday’s action.<\/p>\n

1. Gymnastics, women\u2019s qualifying<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The American women start on the floor exercise, where Simone Biles and Aly Raisman have some of the toughest routines in the world. Though Biles\u2019 is more difficult, she\u2019ll go before Raisman \u2013 the reigning Olympic medalist on the event \u2013 to try to save her legs a bit for the two difficult vaults on the next event.<\/p>\n

After vault, the women move to uneven bars where defending Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas and defending world champion Madison Kocian will anchor the line-up. On balance beam, first-year senior Laurie Hernandez will have a chance to shine as she competes with the Americans\u2019 three all-arounders \u2013 Biles, Douglas and Raisman.<\/p>\n

2. Swimming: Ledecky,\u00a0Phelps hit\u00a0the pool<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Katie Ledecky\u2019s name is synonymous with world records, particularly as she enters the distance portion of her program this week. She owns the world record in both the 400 and 800 freestyles, and she\u2019ll get her first crack at lowering one of those Sunday night in the 400. Ledecky will all but assuredly earn her second medal of these Olympics, and likely her first of the gold variety. Expect fellow American Leah Smith to join her on the podium, too.<\/p>\n

Also Sunday, Michael Phelps is expected to swim in his first race in Rio, the men’s 4×100 free relay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Fencing, Individual foil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

American Alexander Massialas is ranked No. 1 in the world men\u2019s foil, and teammateGerek Meinhardt is fourth. No American man ever has won gold in men\u2019s individual foil.<\/p>\n

4. Women\u2019s rugby quarterfinals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As rugby sevens makes its Olympic debut, the Americans seek to make history in Rio. They have a 1-1 record as they enter their final group game against Australia.<\/p>\n

5. Women\u2019s basketball<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Americans, who have won every Olympic gold since 1996, open tournament play vs. Senegal. It\u2019s the first time we\u2019ll see Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart and Elena Delle Donne together in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

5.5:\u00a0Best of the rest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Serena Williams takes to the tennis court in doubles and singles play and\u00a0Brazil’s men’s soccer team continues its quest for Olympic gold.<\/p>\n
