2024 Olympic schedule for Aug. 8: Team USA set for semifinals with Serbia, Noah Lyles in 200-meter final

Medal table | Olympic schedule | Olympic news | How to watch

Thursday should be a very entertaining day at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

LeBron James and Team USA are back in action with their semifinals matchup with Nikola Jokić and Serbia, who will attempt to keep the Americans out of the gold medal game for the first time since 2004. Both the women’s water polo team and the women’s volleyball team will play in their respective semifinals matches on Thursday, too.

Oh, and Noah Lyles will attempt to complete the Olympic sprint double with his 200-meter final in one of several medal events in a packed track and field day in France.

Here’s what we’re looking forward to most on Thursday in Paris:

Team USA vs. Serbia in semifinals (3 p.m. ET, USA Network)

LeBron James and Nikola Jokić will square off again on Thursday with a spot in the gold medal game now on the line.

Team USA will take on Serbia in their semifinal game on Thursday afternoon in Paris. Jokić and Serbia landed in the semifinals after they rallied out of a 24-point hole to beat Australia in the quarterfinals. While the United States rolled over Serbia 110-84 in their last outing a week ago, Jokić and Serbia are more than capable of knocking off Team USA on their quest to win what would be a fifth consecutive gold medal.

The winner will advance into the gold medal game and will take on either Victor Wembanyama and France or Germany. That semifinal game is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Team USA and Serbia will follow suit at 3 p.m. ET.

U.S. women’s volleyball semifinals match (10 a.m. ET, NBC)

The United States women’s volleyball team rolled into the semifinals for a fifth consecutive time this week with a dominant 3-0 win over Poland on Tuesday. The Americans now have to just get past Brazil for a shot to play for what would be a second straight gold medal.

Thursday’s match will be a rematch of the Tokyo Olympics final, where the Americans beat Brazil 3-0 to win their first ever gold in women’s team volleyball. Brazil beat the United States in back-to-back Olympic outings in both 2008 and 2012, and Team USA won bronze in 2016.

The winner of Thursday’s match will advance to the gold medal game to take on either Türkiye or Italy, who will square off in the other semifinals match on Thursday afternoon. USA and Brazil are set to start at 10 a.m. ET.

Track and field finals (Medal events start at 2 p.m. ET, NBC)

There will be several medals handed out on the track on Thursday in Paris, starting with the women’s long jump and men’s javelin throw. American sprinter Noah Lyles, who won the 100-meter final in a wild finish, will attempt to win a second gold medal in the men’s 200-meter final on Thursday afternoon. If Lyles can pull that off, he’d be the first man since Usain Bolt to complete the Olympic sprint double. That race is set to start at 2:30 p.m. ET.

After that, the women’s 400-meter hurdles final will take place. American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning gold medal winner, flew through qualifying to earn her spot in that final — which will start at 3:25 p.m. ET.

Then the men’s 110-meter hurdles final will close out the night at 3:45 p.m. ET. Three Americans — Grant Holloway, Daniel Roberts and Freddie Crittenden — are all in the field.

U.S. women’s water polo semifinals (1:35 p.m. ET, NBC)

After a solid run through group play and a huge defensive win over Hungary in the quarterfinals, the United States women’s water polo team will square off against Australia on Thursday afternoon with a spot in the gold medal game on the line.

The Americans and Australia, which beat Greece 9-6 in their quarterfinals game, will start their game just after 1:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. The winner will take on either the Netherlands or Spain in the final on Saturday. Australia has yet to lose so far in Paris after rolling through Group A with a perfect 4-0 record. The United States, despite two dominant wins over France and Italy early, slipped to Spain in group play before they pulled off a tight 5-4 win over Hungary on Tuesday.
