Among those stepping into the spotlight Friday will be American speedster Sha'Carri Richardson, who recently won a pair of world championships and now is in search of her first Olympic medal.
The preliminary rounds of the women's 100 meters will take place Friday, with the final set for Saturday at 3:20 p.m. Eastern.
Another highly anticipated event scheduled to kick off Friday is the mixed 4x400 relay, which had the potential to be the Olympic debut of teen sensation Quincy Wilson, a 16-year star from Maryland.
Though Wilson was not selected to run for the United States in the opening round, he could be substituted in later or compete in the men's 4x400.
