Rio 2016 Olympic Games Day 2: More Calympian swimming and gymnastics

Rio 2016 Day 1 saw 16 Calympians in action from rowing, water polo, soccer, table tennis, and of course, swimming.

Day 2 will have 9 Calympians competing in just 2 sports: 2 rowers racing in repechage (elimination races) in the morning and then 7 swimmers. 4 different countries will be represented - Serbia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and U.S.A.

More swimming is on deck for Calympians in Day 2. As many as 4 more medals can be won by the Calympians by the end of the night.

Rest of Day 2 schedule for Calympians

All Times listed are in PDT.

Men’s Rowing repechage starts at 4:30 AM - CANCELLED

Marko Marjanovic (Serbia) - Double Sculls

Nareg Guregian (USA) - Coxless Pair

A Serbian pair in the Coxless Pair (so NOT Calympian Marko Marjanovic and partner) on Saturday capsized due to high wind. Rowing is cancelled on Sunday due to the conditions. A condensed schedule will unfortunately mean less recovery time for the Calympians who can win the repechage races.

Women’s Gymnastics - all day

Toni-Ann Williams (Jamaica)

Swimmers - prelim 9 AM, semifinals 6 PM

Kathleen Baker (USA) - Women’s 100 Back

Yvette Kong (Hong Kong) - Women’s 100 Breast
