Can Moon defend pole vault title?
Today in track and field, Team USA’s medal hopes are headlined by Katie Moon, who will seek her second straight Olympic title in the women’s pole vault final.
That gold-medal event is scheduled to start at 12:15pm ET.
Another major moment will come in the men’s 400m final, which involves three US athletes - Christopher Bailey, Quincy Hall and 2022 world champion Michael Norman.
The 400m final is due to take place at 3:20pm.
Which other Americans have won 1500m?

Hocker: "I always dreamt but never believed"
Speaking to NBC after his surprise win in the men's 1500m final yesterday, Team USA's Cole Hocker said he was aware as he crossed the finish line that his life will now never be the same.
“I’m still processing, but I just had the vivid thought of how my life just changed, and can’t even process that right now," Hocker said.
“It’s just unbelievable [to be only the fourth American to win Olympic gold in the 1500m]. I saw that list, I’ve seen the list of just champions that have come before me, and I always dreamt but never believed, like, that I would be in the same breath of those guys.
"But as I’ve progressed through my career I’ve gotten closer and closer and now it just truly [is] an honour.”
