The women’s 400-meter hurdles race has the potential for two U.S. runners, Sydney McLaughlin, the world-record holder, and Dalilah Muhammad, the 2016 Olympic champion, to get gold and silver. The Tokyo evening and U.S. morning brings the men’s 200 and a gold medal bid from the American Noah Lyles. The U.S. women’s volleyball and basketball teams, which both won their groups, face do-or-die quarterfinals on Wednesday. The volleyball team faces the Dominican Republic at 1 p.m. in Tokyo, midnight Eastern. The basketball team meets Australia starting 40 minutes later.
