The men's 200 meter freestyle finals are slated for 10:21 p.m. after semifinals Sunday. Germany's Paul Biedermann holds the world record and is competing in Rio.

BASKETBALL

After routing Senegal and setting Olympic records in points, margin of victory and assists, the U.S. women's team next faces Spain at 12 p.m. The game is expected to be a bit closer than the 121-56 dismantling on Sunday.

The dominant USA men's basketball team takes on Venezuela at 7 p.m. after Saturday's romp over China , 119-62. Earlier in the day, Serbia faces Australia. Tip is at 2:15 p.m.
