What to watch on Tuesday night

8:00 p.m. ET, NBC: Gymnastics reaches its final night as the last medal events, men's parallel and high bars and women's balance beam, are contested. On the track, watch for the women running the 400m, and China tries to complete their diving dominance with a win in the men's 3m springboard final.

10:00 p.m. ET, NBC: BMX biking makes its Olympic debut live* on primetime. Watch for Americans Mike Day and Donny Robinson try to win the inaugural gold in a sport known for crashes and jumps.

*Live means live in the Eastern and Central time zones. Mountain and Pacific viewers have to watch the tape delay, but hey, you've got the Rockies and the Pacific Ocean, so that's nice.
