Olympics 2012: Must-Watch Events for Tuesday, July 31
By now we're in the full swing of the Summer Olympics. There are 23 different sports with events happening today, nine of which are medal rounds, so get ready for an exciting day of competition!

Here's what you can't miss:

Equestrian
Grab a cup of coffee and eat your morning cereal while you watch the team jumping final. The individual jumping final gets going later this morning, following the team event.

Men's Archery
For a sport that requires laser precision it's hard to believe someone who's legally blind is a favorite to win gold. Im Dong-hyun of South Korea can barely read a newspaper but he was the first athlete to set a world record at these games. Watch him compete in the individual elimination rounds for men's archery tonight.

Men's Basketball
Watch Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and the rest of Team USA take on Tunisia in game two of the preliminaries in their quest for Olympic glory tonight.

Diving
Who doesn't love to watch diving? It's even better when it's synchronized! Watch the Women's Synchronized 10m Platform Finals tonight.

Women's Gymnastics
Few sports are as beautiful to watch as gymnastics. The US men flopped in their bid for gold. Watch tonight to see if the US women, starring America's sweetheart Jordyn Wieber, can grab the coveted top spot.

Women's Soccer
It's football to the rest of the world, but in the USA we call it soccer. Team USA takes on North Korea in the preliminary round game.

Swimming
There are four more medal events happening today in swimming. Everyone will be watching Michael Phelps go for yet another gold medal in the fly final tonight.

Weightlifting
The gold medals in the London Games weigh less than a pound, but the world's strongest men and women will have to lift far more than that to win one. See who's the strongest in the Olympic weightlifting finals tonight.

Canoe/Kayak & Shooting
Let's face it canoeing and skeet shooting aren't typically a big draw at the Olympics, but the glory is still the same. The men's final in whitewater is this morning and tonight you can watch the men aim for gold in the Skeet Shooting Final.
