The penultimate day of action at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 sees some 34 gold medals on the line, the most of any day during the Games. The baseball final concludes that sport's appearance for at least seven years, with the sport likely to be included at LA 2028 but not having been added for Paris 2024. Team USA will also likely be in action as men's basketball comes to an end, with a rare phenomenon: the gold-medal game will take place before the bronze-medal game, due to the time difference with the United States.
