Three United States quarterfinalists hope to become semifinalists on Day 10, as women’s field hockey, women’s water polo and men’s beach volleyball pairing Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena all take to their respective surfaces.
Only Dalhausser and Lucena should really be tested, as they’ll face powerful Brazilian duo Alison Cerutti and Bruno Oscar Schmidt.
One of the most grueling events in track cycling also begins on Day 10. The Omnium, with its six races being held over two days, tests riders’ versatility as well as endurance. Team USA’s Sarah Hammer returns after a performance at the London Olympics where she won silver in the Omnium, missing the top podium spot by just one point.
