How to Watch the Olympics: UCLA alums, student-athletes compete for gold over final weekend
The Bruins have had an eventful couple of weeks at the Olympics.
With 43 athletes boasting ties to UCLA at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, they were bound to come home with some kind of hardware. The pair of Bruins on Team USA women's soccer already secured themselves a bronze medal, while the ones playing softball locked up the silver medal with Team USA last week.
The Games are winding down, with the closing ceremony coming up Aug. 8, but that doesn't mean there aren't medals still up for grabs for the remaining UCLA alumni.
Eight Bruins have the chance to win bronze, silver or gold in team events over the next few days. Here's what to watch for, as well as how you can see it all go down when the time comes.
