U.S. Paralympic Team Trials for Swimming and Track & Field to be Presented Across Peacock and CNBC Live on June 29 at 6 p.m. ET and July 20 at 3 p.m. ET
STAMFORD, Conn. – June 10, 2024 – For the United States’ best and brightest athletes in swimming, diving, track & field, and gymnastics, the road to the Olympic Games Paris 2024 starts with Making Team USA Presented by Xfinity – the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Trials. NBCU is presenting more than 200 hours of Trials coverage, including 14 nights in primetime on NBC, from June 15-30 across NBC, Peacock, and USA Network, beginning with swimming this Saturday, June 15, at 11 a.m. ET on Peacock. The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris, France, take place July 26-Aug. 11.
Team USA is arguably the hardest Olympic team to make, and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Trials are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of the athletes involved, representing the culmination of decades of training and preparation. NBCU’s Making Team USA coverage strives not only to capture the athletic performances at the Trials but to also include athlete-led storytelling and behind-the-scenes content to fully present the experience of qualifying for the Olympics.
NBCU’s presentation of the U.S. Paralympic Team Trials – Swimming is highlighted by live coverage Saturday, June 29 at 6 p.m. ET on CNBC and Peacock from the University of Minnesota’s Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center. NBCU will present the U.S. Paralympic Team Trials for Track & Field on Saturday, July 20, at 3 p.m. ET on CNBC and Peacock. The event will be held at Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Fla. Both trials will have additional presentations air the following day at 1 p.m. ET on CNBC and Peacock.
Some of the most anticipated stories and athletes for this month’s events leading into Paris include:
· Swimming: Seven-time Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky, who could tie or break the all-time record for Olympic gold medals won by a U.S. woman (8); seven-time Olympic gold medalist Caeleb Dressel, who earned five in Tokyo; 14-time world medalist Kate Douglass; and six-time Olympic medalist Ryan Murphy. Coverage runs from June 15-23 and includes nine nights of primetime coverage on NBC.
· Diving: Tokyo Olympic synchronized 10m platform silver medalist Jess Parratto, aiming for her third Olympic appearance; Tokyo Olympic synchronized 3m springboard silver medalist Andrew Capobianco; and Tokyo Olympian Tyler Downs are all expected to compete. Coverage will take place June 17-18 and June 20-23, and includes live coverage of six finals on NBC.
· Track & Field: Six-time world champion Noah Lyles, coming off a 2023 World Championship performance that saw him become the first athlete since Usain Bolt to win the men’s 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay; defending Olympic women’s 400m hurdles champion and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone; reigning women’s 100m world champion Sha’Carri Richardson, looking to make her Olympic debut; and two-time defending Olympic men’s shot put gold medalist and world record holder Ryan Crouser, aiming to become the first athlete to win three consecutive shot put gold medals. Track & field coverage runs from June 21-24 and June 27-30, featuring eight nights of primetime on NBC.
· Gymnastics: The most decorated gymnast in history and four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles looks to make her third U.S. Olympic Team in hopes of becoming the first woman to win two Olympic all-around titles since Czechoslovakia’s Věra Čáslavská in 1964 and 1968. Like Ledecky, Biles has the chance to tie or break the all-time record for Olympic gold medals won by a U.S. woman (8). She likely won’t be the only gold medalist on hand in Minneapolis; three-time Tokyo Olympic medalist and defending Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee seeks her second Olympic berth and a chance to match Čáslavská’s feat. Other top women are Tokyo Olympic floor gold medalist Jade Carey; Tokyo Olympic team silver medalist Jordan Chiles; six-time world medalist Shilese Jones; and four-time world medalist Leanne Wong. The U.S. men feature the most talent in a generation, including individual 2023 World Championship medalists Frederick Richard and Khoi Young, and past world medalists and Tokyo Olympians Brody Malone and Yul Moldauer. Live coverage takes place June 27-30 and culminates with the women’s final live in primetime on NBC.
