Here’s how to watch the medal rounds of the women’s volleyball tournament on Wednesday at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
After 11 days of intense competition, medals will finally be awarded in the beach volleyball tournament on Wednesday at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Wednesday’s schedule will be highlighted by the final two matches in the women’s competition. The women’s bronze medal match will take place at 9:00 p.m.followed by the gold medal match two hours later.
While the exact participants won’t be decided until the final semifinal match late Tuesday night, we do know that Germany’s Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst will be playing for gold. The Germans have dropped just one set in the tournament so far and impressively swept hometown favorites Larissa Franca and Talita Antunes in the semifinal.
They will face the winner of the late night match between Team USA’s April Ross and Keri Walsh Jennings and Barbara Seixas and Agatha Bednarczuk of Brazil. Should the Americans keep their excellent run going, the bronze medal match will be between two Brazilian squads.
NBCSN will carry television coverage of the bronze medal match, while NBC will show the battle for gold with live streaming also available on the NBC Live Extra app. Full details for the medal rounds of the women’s volleyball tournament are below.
