The women's hammer throw final begins at 2:35 p.m. ET. No Americans will compete in the competition. Betty Heidler of Germany is the favorite in what should be a highly contested event.

At 3:40 p.m. ET, the women's 4x100m relay begins. Team USA is expected to finish in first place, with the Jamaican women right behind them.
The final women's event is scheduled 15 minutes later. The 1500m race features 13 contestants, including two Americans. Ethiopia's Abeba Aregawi is the favorite, though Turkish runners Asli Cakir Alptekin and Gamze Bulutcould could give her a good race.
The final race of the day is the men's 4x400m relay. The Bahamas and USA both tied for first with a time of 2:58.87 in the qualifying round.
