Wednesday’s Olympic schedule sees Katie Ledecky return to center stage as the heavy favorite to take a second consecutive gold in the 1,500-meter freestyle.
Both 100m free titles also are on the line, with Americans Torri Huske and Gretchen Walsh set to compete in the women’s final and Chris Guiliano and Jack Alexy on tap for the men’s race.
The busiest swimmer of the night will be French superstar Leon Marchand, who will attempt to follow his 400m individual medley gold with a unique double in the 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke. Those races will take place less than two hours apart, and Marchand likely will have to participate in a medal ceremony in between.
Beyond those medal events, semifinals are on tap in the women’s 200m fly, men’s 200m back and women’s 200m breaststroke.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics, including a full schedule of events.
