The 2021 Summer Olympic Games are in full swing in Tokyo and one of the most popular events, artistic gymnastics, kicks off on Friday, July 23 with the men’s qualifying rounds. Here is the full schedule, with the real-time events and where to watch them plus the broadcast TV schedule.

Note: The men’s and women’s finals for both group and individual events are all airing live on either NBC’s Peacock streaming service or the Olympic Channel online. However, the qualifying rounds that take place from July 23 to July 25 are airing delayed, so there will be results available before the events actually stream on Peacock.

All times Eastern.

As far as medal count goes, the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, which consists of Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, Jade Carey, and MyKayla Skinner, could take home all six available gold medals — team, individual all-around, and the four event finals. Biles is favored in individual all-around and three event finals (vault, balance beam and floor exercise), and Lee could win gold in the uneven bars.

The men’s team, made up of Brody Malone, Yul Moldauer, Shane Wiskus, Sam Mikulak, and Alec Yoder, are much more limited in what they will probably take home in terms of medals. Malone and Mikulak could potentially medal in individual all-around and both could potentially medal on the high bar. Yoder could potentially medal on the pommel horse.

The U.S. is not expected to medal in any of the trampoline or rhythmic gymnastics competitions.
