It's tomorrow in Beijing and the events are about to start up again. There are a few medals up for grabs, as well as some qualifyers. Americans Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff, as well as naughty Aussie Stephanie Rice are all making finals debuts tonight and the men's gymnasts will take a shot at the qualifier. Oh, and Bush's new favorite sport, beach volleyball. What you need to know after the jump. • Men's Swimming: Phelps takes his first shot at the gold in Beijing in the 400-meter individual medley. His teammate Ryan Lochte is tough competition for him and can steal the medal with a perfect swim. • Women's Swimming: Naughty Aussie Stephanie Rice competes against U.S. favorites Katie Hoff and Elizabeth Beisel in the 400-meter individual medley. Phenom Dara Torres leads the U.S. team in the 4x100m free relay. • Women's Beach Volleyball: Defending Olympic champs Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh make their first appearance in competition. No word yet on whether Bush will be in attendance. • Men's Individual Gymnastics: Powdery little men attempt to qualify for the finals. Enjoy the Games and DUAN. I'll see you in the morning.
