As we head into the meat of the first week of Olympic action, some of the young rising swimming stars for the United States get going into action. Missy Franklin will compete in her first individual event in the 100 meter backstroke, and Ryan Lochte will compete for his second gold in the 200 meter freestyle. However, both will have very stiff challenges to win gold, as Franklin will have to face Emily Seebohm from Australia and Lochte will have to fend off the upstarts Sun Yang and Yannick Angel.
Also happening in primetime will be the men's gymnastics gold medal team final, which should figure into the hopes of the United States to win gold.
