Ryan RudnanskyJun 7, 2018

It's been a fantastic two weeks as the 2012 London Olympics comes to a close.

On Day 15, there are several must-watch medal events, ranging from basketball to track and field.

Will the U.S. women's basketball team capture gold? Will Usain Bolt and Jamaica win the 4x100 relay or will the United States shock the Jamaicans?

Here's a look at some events you can't miss on Saturday, complete with the schedule.

Note: All times are Eastern

Women's Basketball: USA vs. France, Gold Medal Game

Live time: 4 p.m.

TV: 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. (NBC)

Since first appearing in the 1976 Summer Games, the U.S. women have won six Olympic gold medals, one silver and one bronze.

The Americans are seeking their fifth straight gold medal in the Summer Games against France on Saturday and are largely regarded as the favorites.

The American women have not only averaged 91.3 points per game (best in the tournament), they've also limited opponents to just 57.1 points per game (best in the tournament).

This has already been a success story for France. The French women hadn't even qualified the past two Olympics and their best finish is fifth in the 2000 Summer Games.

France has averaged the second-most points in the tournament this summer (72.6) and is led by guard Celine Dumerc.

Men's Field Hockey: Germany vs. Netherlands, Gold Medal Game

Live time: 3 p.m. 

TV: 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. (MSNBC) 

Germany won the bronze in 2004, then knocked the Netherlands out of the semifinals in a squeaker in 2008.

Now, the Netherlands, a two-time gold medalist in the event, is seeking revenge in the final and is largely considered to be the favorite.

The Netherlands blew out host country Great Britain in the semifinals, 9-2, while Germany edged out 2008 bronze medalist Australia, 4-2.

This should be a great game for the gold medal.

Men's 4x100m Relay

Live time: 4 p.m. 

TV: 8 p.m. - 12 a.m. (NBC)

Heading into the 4x100 relay final on Saturday, the U.S. men have won gold 15 times in 22 chances dating back to the 1912 Summer Games.

On the other hand, the Americans aren't the favorites anymore—the Jamaicans are.

Jamaica boasts the fastest man in the world in Usain Bolt, who just captured the gold in both the 100 and 200 meters. Jamaica also boasts newcomer Yohan Blake, who grabbed silver behind Bolt in the 100 and 200 meters.

Tyson Gay was part of the U.S. team that disappointed in 2008. He knows the pain that followed.

However, Gay has Justin Gatlin on his side this time around. Gatlin captured the bronze medal in the 100 meters this summer, while Gay placed fourth.
