Which Texans compete today?
Sha’Carri Richardson
The Dallas native finally made her Olympic debut, qualifying for the 100m semifinal by running a 10.94 in the preliminary round Friday. She is the reigning World Champion in the event after taking gold in 2023, and she recently ran a world-leading 10.71 seconds to win this year’s U.S. championship.
Simone Biles
The undisputed greatest gymnast in the world and Texas’ own Simone Biles will compete today in the women’s vault final. Biles shined in the women’s all-around final, taking home another gold medal. After a case of the “twisties” ended her Tokyo Olympic hopes early and forced the U.S. to fight for an unexpected silver medal, expect Biles and Team USA to be out for redemption Tuesday at 11:15 a.m.
Scottie Scheffler
Olympic golf is underway and after two round the world No. 1 golfer sits in a tie for tenth at 6-under. Don’t worry, Dallasites, there are still two more rounds to play. Catch him when he tees of for Round 3 at 12:06 p.m.
Kevin Durant
The former University of Texas standout and NBA champion will be a part of a U.S. basketball squad that takes on Puerto Rico in their final game in group play at 10:15 a.m.
