Olympics 2012 Schedule: Day 4 Event Guide, Athletes to Watch, TV Info & More

We are just three days into the London Olympics, but there has been no shortage of drama. Expect that to continue on Day 4. 

Action in the swimming pool, most notably, has provided the most theatrics. There have been final-lap comebacks, 15- and 17-year-old gold medalists, world records broken and much more. 

Luckily for fans of excitement, swimming will be in full force once again on Tuesday.

But that's just the beginning.

Men's basketball gets back to the court, the women compete for gold in the gymnastics all-around team event and, in case you were worried, there will be more water polo and team handball.

Let's take a closer look at Tuesday's Day 4 action from London.

Athletes to Watch on Day 4

NBA Players

While LeBron James and Team USA easily present the most excitement of anyone in this tournament, they take on Tunisia, and 50-point blowouts aren't always the best thing to watch.

Instead, find a way to see some other intriguing NBA athletes.

That Gasol brothers and Serge Ibaka of Spain, Tony Parker and Nicolas Batum of France or possibly the most compelling combo, Alexey Shved and Andrei Kirilenko, the Timberwolves duo who absolutely lit up the box score in Russia's debut. 

Jen Kessey, April Ross

The fourth-best women's beach volleyball duo in the world continue their quest for a gold medal when they take on the Netherlands team of Sanne Keizer and Marleen van Iersal. 

Kessey and Ross have always been a dominant pair (they took home the gold at the 2009 World Championsips), but there's no doubt the Americans are tired of being in the shadow of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, the two-time Olympic gold medalists from the same country. 

Alex Morgan

The United States women's soccer team has already qualified for the quarterfinals, so there's a good chance coach Pia Sundhage rests some of the stars.

Nonetheless, if the 23-year-old Morgan sees the field, she is someone you want to pay attention to. 

The American is absolutely terrific on the ball, possessing impressive stepovers and various moves that help her get away from defenders. She's also a fantastic finisher from anywhere around the box. 

Morgan is one of the hottest players in the world (because of her goal-scoring streak, I obviously mean). Don't miss her likely cutting up Korea on the pitch. 

Jordyn Wieber

During qualification, Wieber finished fourth in the all-around competition, which usually would have been more than good enough to put her through to the finals, which is home to 24 competitors. However, since two Americans finished in second and third, she was eliminated.

But that doesn't mean Wieber's week is done.

On Tuesday she will compete in the team competition, and don't be surprised if she comes out with a vengeance, leading her squad to a dominant gold medal.
