Canada's Andre De Grasse is in the third heat of the men's 100-m semifinals, which begin at 2:05 p.m. ET.

He'll race against the likes of Kishane Thompson, who emerged as the betting favourite for gold after running a world-leading 9.77 seconds to win the Jamaican trials; Kenya's Ferdinand Omanyala, who owns the second-fastest time of the year; American Fred Kerley, the 2022 world champion and 2021 Olympic silver medallist; and Britain's Zharnel Hughes, the bronze medallist at last year's worlds.

The top two finishers in each semi advance to the final, plus the next two fastest overall times.

Reigning 100m and 200m world champion Noah Lyles of the U.S., who's gunning for the Olympic double, and defending Olympic champ Marcell Jacobs of Italy are in separate semifinal heats.

The final goes at 3:50 p.m. ET.
