There are two big events that'll be taking place on Thursday night that'll be of premium importance for the viewing audience. Probably one of the biggest ones will be the women's gymnastics all-around final, which will feature two United States contenders in Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman. Both of them finished with the top two scores (which ended up eliminating teammate Jordyn Wieber).
The other big events come in the pool. Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte do battle in the men's 200 meter individual medley event. Then there's the women's 200 meter breaststroke with USC product Rebecca Soni going for gold in the women's 200 meter breaststroke a day after breaking her old world record. Lochte will also have another final in the 200 meter backstroke before his duel with Phelps, and Missy Franklin goes for gold in the women's 100 meter freestyle.
