Michael Phelps will not win a gold medal tonight. That's because he's not participating in any medal events. But he will swim, and he's expected to easily qualify for the finals of the 200-meter individual medley. Phelps has already won the gold with a new world record in the 400-meter individual medley. The 200 IM semifinals are at 11:16 p.m.

Also tonight in the pool, it should be a good battle in the men's 100-meter freestyle. French swimmer Alain Bernard set a world record in this morning's semifinals, only to see it quickly broken by Australia's Eamon Sullivan. The two will go head-to-head tonight at 10:49.

The U.S. women's 4x200-meter relay team will try to defend its Olympic gold against a French team that set a new world record in qualifying. That event takes place at 11:32.

Elsewhere, Americans Sasha Artemev and Jonathan Horton will be among those competing in the men's individual gymnastics final, tonight at 11.

Tomorrow morning, locals Elizabeth Beisel and Demetrius Andrade are both scheduled to compete. Beisel swims at 8:37 in a preliminary heat of the 200-meter backstroke, and Andrade boxes Russia's Andrey Balanov at 9:30. You can check how their doing tomorrow morning, right here.

It's 6:50 am on Thursday. Where are the results for Elizabeth Beisel at the olympics today? 11 hours ago she qualified (or not) in the backstroke. Today's projo said that the results would be on this website. I can't find it.
