A'ja Wilson and the United States women's basketball team can extend their Olympic winning streak to 59 games with a quarterfinal win Wednesday at the 2024 Paris Games.

But before that, several American athletes will compete on their sport's biggest global stage.

Team USA's Nelly Korda will begin her gold medal defense as women's golf tees off. Fellow Americans Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang, ranked No. 2 and No. 9 on the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, respectively, will also play in the first round.

Several track and field events continue throughout the day. Defending women's pole vault champion Katie Moon looks to return to the top of the Olympic podium. Three Americans will race in the 400-meter women's semifinals for a chance to contend for a medal in the final. Meanwhile, top-ranked Quincy Jones and Christopher Bailey hope to add to Team USA's medal count after the final of the men's 400.
