NBC PRIMETIME HIGHLIGHTS:
Moscow-born, Texas-raised gymnast Nastia Liukin is one of the premier gymnasts in the world, and tonight, the 2005 world champion will contend for Olympic gold on her best event – uneven bars – where her spectacular routine is one of the most difficult in the world.
Team USA has claimed two straight world titles in the men's 400m hurdles, and the end of this supremely challenging race could see two Americans vying for gold: 2005 world champion Bershawn "Batman" Jackson and Kerron Clement, who won the world title in 2007.
Russia's Yelena Isinbayeva has an embarassment of pole vaulting riches: two world titles, the 2004 Olympic gold medal and upwards of 20 world records. Perhaps the most popular female athlete in her country, she's become so dominant that her greatest competitor is often herself, frequently finishing competitions as the lone remaining jumper trying to set a new world record. Top American Jenn Stuczynski hopes to pose a threat in Beijing.
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh have built a sublime beach volleyball dynasty, claiming three straight world titles and 2004 Olympic gold.
NBC DAYTIME HIGHLIGHTS:
In volleyball action, Team USA hasn't won an Olympic medal since the 1992 Barcelona Games, but after a fourth-place finish at the 2007 World Cup that included a win over top-ranked Brazil, the American men are expected to be medal contenders in Beijing. Today they take on Japan, live.
NBC LATENIGHT HIGHLIGHTS:
The world's dominant diving power will have two of its stars on display in the men's 3m springboard semifinals, as Qin Kai (the 2007 world champion) and He Chong (the 2008 World Cup champion).

USA NETWORK HIGHLIGHTS:
In men's basketball, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant lead a star-studded Team USA attempting to take the next step towards redemption and their first gold since Sydney 2000, after the disappointment of bronze in 2004 as they take on Germany live.
MSNBC HIGHLIGHTS:
Team USA is back in the Olympic baseball tournament, and now faces the Olympic host nation, where America's national pastime is starting to show signs of rapid growth.

The defending Olympic champion USA Women's Soccer Team stalled in the semifinals at the 2007 World Cup, but have plans to steamroll through the women's semifinal round in Beijing against Japan.
OXYGEN HIGHLIGHTS:
Team USA topped the equestrian medal chart at the Athens Games, and now attempts to defend its Olympic gold from 2004 in a dynamic display of airborne horses, the team jumping gold medal final. Plus an insider's look at gymnastics as the competition continues with individual event finals.
CNBC LATENIGHT HIGHLIGHTS:
The USA Softball Team has its sights set on a fourth straight Olympic gold, and tonight faces China. The Olympic host nation has finished one spot short of bronze at every w orld championship and Olympics since 1998.
