Take a Breath after a Ridiculous Weekend

Dai Greene of Great Britain faces a fantastic field in the 400 meter hurdles. Gabby Douglas back in action on the uneven bars against Beth Tweddle.

After an amazing weekend things calm down a bit on Monday as the second week of the Olympic Games gets underway.

But there's still a full slate of action in many sports:

Gold: Gymnastics - Women's Uneven Bars - 9:50 a.m. (NBC Prime Time). U.S. all-around champion Gabby Douglas leads the charge into this event final as she tries to become the first U.S. gymnast to win three gold medals. Defending champion He Kexin on China and all-around runner-up Viktoria Komova are major threats, but the top qualifier was Brit Elizabeth Tweddle, the world champion in 2006 and 2010.

Silver: Soccer - Women's Semifinal - United States v Canada 2:45 p.m. (NBCSN)  The U.S. women's team looks to get into the final where they will face either France or World Cup champions Japan.

Bronze: Track & Field - Men's 400 Meter Hurdles - 3:45 p.m. (NBC Prime Time). A very strong field in the finals is led by Javier Culson, trying to become Puerto Rico's first ever Olympic champion. He is undefeated in 2012. Felix Sanchez looked like he had discovered the fountain of youth in the semifinals with the fastest time.  Sanchez is the 2004 Olympic champ as well as world champ in 2001 and 2003. Angelo Taylor of the United States won the gold medal in 2000 and 2008. Kerron Clement was the world champion in 2007 and 2009 and looks to be rounding into form after two subpar seasons. The defending world champion is Dai Greene of Great Britain, who barely got a spot in the final as a time qualifier, but things have been going well for the Brits at Olympic Stadium.
