When does Usain Bolt run in the Rio Olympics?

We’ve reached the track and field portion of the 2016 Rio Olympics. And that means Usain Bolt is ready to take over the games.

The world’s fastest man is scheduled to run in three events in Rio — the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. He will be looking for his third straight gold medal in all three.

While Bolt is a heavy favorite every time he steps into the blocks, he figures to get some competition from American sprinter Justin Gatlin and fellow Jamaican Johan Blake in the 100 and 200.

Here’s Bolt’s schedule for the Rio Olympics (all times PT):

100m

First round: Saturday, Aug. 13, 8 a.m.

Semifinal: Sunday, Aug. 14, 5 p.m.

Final: Sunday, Aug. 14, 6:25 p.m.

200m

First round: Tuesday, Aug. 16, 7:50 a.m.

Semifinal: Wednesday, Aug. 17, 6 p.m.
