Rio Olympics: Stars to watch

Soccer, women's gold medal match
When:
4:30 p.m.
Sweden and Germany will face off to join the United States and Norway as the only women's soccer champions in Olympic history. The bronze medal match between Canada, which won bronze in London, and Brazil is at 12:00 p.m. The host country has finished in third place and fourth place twice each.

Track and field, women's and men's 4x100-meter relay finals
When:
9:15 p.m. and 9:35 p.m.
The women's race ought to be a barnburner between Jamaica and defending champions the United States, which almost didn't qualify for the final after a botched baton handoff between Allyson Felix and English Gardner in Thursday's heats. The U.S. won an appeal that Felix was obstructed by a Brazilian runner and qualified first with a time trial run. And in the final race of his Olympic career, Usain Bolt will try to lead Jamaica to victory for the third straight Games and complete the "triple triple": three-peat in the 100, 200 and the relay.
