RIO DE JANEIRO -- Day 11 of the Rio Games features medal action in gymnastics, track and field, boxing, wrestling and more. Here are some things to watch (all times local):GYMNASTICSSimone Biles can wrap up her remarkable time in Rio with a fourth Olympic gold medal when she competes in the floor exercise at 2:47 p.m.Biles has already earned three golds and a bronze, though her chance to become the first female gymnast to capture five golds in a single Olympics ended when she wobbled during the balance beam final on Monday and ended up with bronze.Biles is the reigning world champion in the floor exercise. Her biggest competition will come from teammate Aly Raisman, who captured gold in London four years ago. Biles and Raisman went 1-2 in the all-around competition last week.The men will wrap up the Olympics with the high bar at 2 p.m. and parallel bar finals at 3:34 p.m. Oleg Verniaiev, who came in second to Kohei Uchimura in the mens all-around, leads the field on parallel bars. Epke Zonderland of the Netherlands will try to defend his Olympic title on high bar.American Danell Leyva will compete in both finals. Hell be joined on high bar by teammate Sam Mikulak .TRACK AND FIELDAfter a day off, Usain Bolt returns to the track in his quest for more gold -- in his favorite event, too: the 200 meters.Im always confident going into the 200 meters, said Bolt, who surged past Justin Gatlin to win the 100 on Sunday. I think the 100 meters is always the hardest one for me. Going to the 200 now, Im very confident. Then again, the fastest man on the planet has never lacked for confidence. He runs in the ninth heat at 12:46 p.m.Also Tuesday, American Christian Taylor will defend his triple jump title. The competition begins at 9:50 a.m.And the Jamaicans could go 1-2 in the 110-meter hurdles, with Omar McLeod and Hansle Parchment the favorites. Devon Allen , the University of Oregon football/track standout, will have something to say about that. The finals are at 10:45 p.m.Medals also will be awarded in womens discus (11:20 a.m.), the womens 1500 meters (10:30 p.m.) and the mens high jump (8:30 p.m.).BASKETBALLThe U.S. womens team begins knockout play against Japan when the two teams play in the quarterfinals at 6:45 p.m. The Americans have won 46 consecutive games in the Olympics and are three victories away from a sixth consecutive gold medal. They cruised through pool play , winning the five games by an average of 40.8 points.The U.S. hasnt faced Japan since the 1996 quarterfinals when the Americans won by 15 points. Japan has been the surprise of the tournament, already matching its three victories in 1996 in the Atlanta Games. The Japanese also have the rare distinction of being the only team left playing in the Olympics who have beaten the U.S., although that came back in 1976.In other quarterfinal games, Australia plays Serbia at 11 a.m., Spain plays Turkey at 2:30 p.m., and France faces Canada at 10:15 p.m.BEACH VOLLEYBALLKerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross play for a spot in the gold-medal game when they meet Brazilian world champions Agatha and Barbara in the beach volleyball semifinals at 11:59 p.m.Walsh Jennings is going for her fourth gold, and Ross is looking to improve on the silver she earned when she lost to her fellow Americans in the London final.

They play the Dutch team of Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen at 5 p.m.VOLLEYBALLThe top-ranked U.S. womens volleyball team , which went 5-0 in Olympic group play, faces Japan in a quarterfinal matchup at 2 p.m. as the Americans try to move one step closer to the first gold in program history.Japan is arguably the best defensive team in this tournament.Two-time reigning Olympic champion and host Brazil will take on a young China team in the 10:15 p.m. match, while the upstart Netherlands women -- back in their first Olympics in 20 years and 4-1 in group play behind the Americans -- face South Korea at 10 a.m.BOXINGNicola Adams, the British flyweight who won the first gold medal in Olympic womens boxing history, opens the slate with her first bout of the tournament. She faces Tetyana Kob of Ukraine at 11 a.m.Shakur Stevenson and Gary Russell have fights early in the day for an American team trying to make up for an 0-2 effort on Monday. The main event of a 19-fight card has Brazilian Robson Conceicao fighting Frenchman Sofiane Oumiha for Olympic gold in the lightweight division. That fight starts at 7:15 p.m.TRACK CYCLINGThe track cycling program concludes Tuesday night with Britain seeking more Olympic gold. Jason Kenny is going for his third title of the Rio Games in the keirin at 6:14 p.m., Katy Marchant and Becky James are still alive in the individual sprint at 6:26 p.m., and Laura Trott is favored to defend her title in the womens omnium at 5:05 p.m. Italian Elia Viviani won the mens event Monday despite being taken out in a crash that claimed two other riders. The powerhouse British team has already won four gold medals through seven events inside the velodrome.OPEN WATER SWIMMINGA day after Brazil won its first swimming medal of the games -- a bronze in the womens open water event -- the men take to the sewage-filled waters off Copacabana beach for their 10K race.This is only the second Olympics holding competition in open ocean waters. At the first Summer Games in 1896, before custom-built pools were the norm, swimming was held in the Bay of Zea. The inaugural open water event in 2008 was staged at Beijings rowing and canoeing canal. Four years ago, the open water in London took place in the Serpentine lake at Hyde Park.Brazils Poliana Okimoto went from just off the podium to bronze when Frances Aurelie Muller was disqualified for colliding with another swimming. The first swimming medal ever won by a Brazilian woman, either in the pool or open water, eased some of the sting from a disappointing performance by the pool swimmers, who failed to win a medal at their home Olympics.---AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org Antonio Callaway Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Simeon Thomas Jersey . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games. http://www.brownsjerseyscheap.com/cheap-nick-chubb-jersey/ . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday. Damion Ratley Jersey .ca! Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. Genard Avery Jersey . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Pittsburgh was so darn good in the first half, coach Kevin Stallings found it easy to forgive his players misdeeds over the final 20 minutes.Jamel Artis scored 15 of his 22 points before halftime, and the Panthers held off previously unbeaten Maryland 73-59 Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.The Panthers (6-1) shot 67 percent from the floor in the first half, including 5 for 10 beyond the arc, and used a 25-4 run to build a 46-25 lead at the break.I thought our team played about as well in the first half as weve played on both ends, Stallings said. We were alert and active.It was 51-26 with 15:45 remaining before Maryland (7-1) closed to 63-55 with three minutes left, in part because Pittsburgh shot 26 percent in the second half.Coming off two come-from-behind wins in the Barclays Center Classic in New York, Maryland was vying for its first 8-0 start in 10 years.Instead, the Terrapins absorbed their worst home defeat since falling by 18 to Duke in February 2011.Though coach Mark Turgeon wouldnt cite fatigue as a factor, he was quick to point out that the Terrapins were coming off late games on Friday and Saturday.It was a good time to catch us, he said.Michael Young scored 25 and Cameron Johnson added 11 for Pittsburgh, which extended its winning streak to four despite being outscored 35-28 after halftime.Melo Trimble led Maryland with 13 points, but he missed 9 of 13 shots. The Terps shot 34 percent, committed 14 turnovers and were outrebounded 38-36.Trimble insisted that playing for the third time in five days had nothing to do with it.We like playing basketball; this is what we do, he said. I dont think fatigue was a factor; its just we couldnt hit shots and they played well.Pittsburgh led 26-20 before Artis made a 3-point play, a 3-pointer and a layup to spark a 14-0 spurt that made it a 20-point game.They kind of punched us in thhe mouth in the first half, Turgeon said.ddddddddddddMaryland, formerly of the ACC, is 0-3 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge since 10 joining the Big Ten.THE TAKEAWAYPittsburgh: Despite the late fade, the Panthers proved they can play with some of the stronger teams in the country. This one erases some of the doubt created by a nine-point loss to SMU and a five-point win at home against Yale.Maryland: The Terps have put themselves in a seemingly insurmountable hole many times this season, and this was no exception. On this occasion, the deficit was simply too much to handle. Maryland cant afford these slow starts once Big Ten play begins.ZONED OUTPittsburghs zone defense was a factor in Maryland going 9 for 26 in the first half, including 4 for 16 from beyond the arc.It took away a lot of drives, Young said. They had to swing the ball around the perimeter.Asked if Marylands struggle against the zone could be a factor in the future, Turgeon replied, Please zone us. Were going to be great against the zone.FRIENDLY FOESStallings and Turgeon were assistant coaches under Roy Williams at Kansas from 1989-92. During that time, Williams made a comment that stuck with Stallings over the years and was very applicable on Tuesday night.He used to say that in the dictionary, the definition of fun was ... winning on the road, Stallings said. Its hard to win on the road. This was certainly fun for our guys. And fun for our staff. Nice to come here and beat a good team on the road in a good environment.UP NEXTPittsburgh faces local rival Duquesne on Friday night in The City Game, a tradition that started in 1932.Maryland hosts Oklahoma State (5-1) on Saturday night. The Cowboys are coming off a 27-point win over Georgetown, a team the Terrapins beat 76-75.
