The final event of Rio 2016 is the men's basketball gold medal match, pitting the star-studded U.S. squad against Serbia. While the Americans have progressed to the finals as expected, the margin of victory has created some cause for concern. These two squads met in the preliminary round, as the U.S. escaped with a narrow three-point win, so a tightly contested affair isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Shields of the U.S. enters the women's middleweight gold medal boxing match as a massive -1600 favorite against Fontijn of the Netherlands. Shields, the defending Olympic champion, has been dominant throughout the tournament, and looks to become the first American to win back-to-back gold medals. The men's flyweight final between Aloyan and Zoirov is a toss up, and the men's super heavyweight final sees Great Britain's Joyce a slight favorite over Yoka of France.
