SYDNEY MCLAUGHLIN-LEVRONE, NOAH LYLES, AND SHA'CARRI RICHARDSON HEADLINE NBC SPORTS' LIVE COVERAGE OF TOYOTA USATF OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS WEEK ACROSS NBC AND PEACOCK
This Weekend's Event Determines Which Athletes Will Represent Team USA at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo from Sept. 13-21
Olympic Medalists Gabby Thomas, Cole Hocker, Kenny Bednarek, Grant Fisher, and Rai Benjamin Expected to Compete
STAMFORD, Conn. – July 30, 2025 – Two-time reigning Olympic 400m hurdles gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and reigning 100m world champions Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson headline NBC Sports' live coverage of the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships beginning this Saturday, Aug. 2, at 4 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock from Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore. Team USA dominated the 2024 Paris Olympics with 34 medals (14 of them gold), the most of any country.
This event serves as the primary selection process to determine who will represent Team USA at this summer's 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo from Sept. 13-21. The defending world champions from 2023 in each event have earned a bye to this year's World Championships. NBC Sports will provide extensive coverage of the 2025 World Championships across NBCUniversal platforms, with programming details to be announced at a later date.
McLaughlin-Levrone, coming off a Paris Olympic campaign that saw her win her second consecutive 400m hurdles gold medal and re-set her own world record in the event, will solely contest the 400m this weekend. Her personal best of 48.74, the second-fastest time in U.S. history, was set in Eugene in 2023. McLaughlin-Levrone trails only NBC Sports track & field analyst Sanya Richards-Ross' national record of 48.70, which was set in 2006.
Paris Olympic 100m gold medalist Noah Lyles looks to defend his 100m and 200m national titles this weekend; at the 2023 World Championships, he became the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to win the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay at a single world championship meet. Lyles recently won the 200m at the Monaco Diamond League meet, taking down reigning Olympic 200m gold medalist Letsile Tebogo. Richardson, the Paris Olympic 100m silver medalist, aims to defend her 100m and 4x100m national title.
Other notable athletes expected to compete this weekend include five-time Olympic medalist Gabby Thomas, Paris Olympic 1500m gold medalist Cole Hocker, two-time reigning Olympic discus gold medalist Valarie Allman, Paris Olympic long jump gold medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall, Paris Olympic 400m hurdles gold medalist Rai Benjamin, three-time Olympic shot put silver medalist Joe Kovacs, two-time Olympic 200m silver medalist Kenny Bednarek, Paris Olympic 5000m/10,000m bronze medalist Grant Fisher, and Tokyo Olympic 800m gold medalist Athing Mu-Nikolayev.
NBC Sports' Paul Swangard will call the event alongside four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon, two-time Olympian Kara Goucher, 2012 London Olympic decathlon silver medalist Trey Hardee, and seven-time Paralympic medalist Amanda McGrory. Lewis Johnson will serve as reporter.

How to watch Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Arsenal host Athletic Bilbao in their final preseason friendly on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium and Mikel Arteta needs to see a big improvement from his side. The Gunners lost 3-2 against Villarreal on Wednesday as Viktor Gyokeres got off to a slow start on his first start since his big-money arrival from Sporting Lisbon. Arsenal have made plenty of new signings but defensively they looked shaky and Arteta will be a little concerned after back-to-back defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Villarreal in preseason. Yes, it's only preseason, but he will want to generate some momentum going into the new campaign where a trophy is a must. Bilbao put on an entertaining show against Liverpool on Monday as they lost both games at Anfield (4-1 and 3-2) but showed plenty of attacking intent. Ernesto Valverde's side are set to challenge for another top four finish in La Liga this season and are excited about their to return to the Champions League. For live updates and highlights throughout Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao, check out PST's live blog coverage below. How to watch Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 12pm ET Saturday (August 9) Venue: Emirates Stadium — London TV Channel/Streaming: Arsenal team news, focus All eyes will be on Gyokeres as he struggled to make an impact on his first start. He made some good runs but Arsenal's players are perhaps not quite up to speed with how to provide the towering Swedish striker with the service he needs as they haven't had a player like that up top since Arteta took charge. Elsewhere there are injury issues regarding Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori, while Gabriel Jesus continues his recovery from a long-term injury. Arsenal need the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and William Saliba to step up early in the season and help them hit the ground running with some tough fixtures in the opening weeks of the new campaign. Athletic Bilbao team news, focus Bilbao's star attacker Nico Williams did not get his move to Barcelona this summer but he played and starred against Liverpool at Anfield on Monday. Williams and his brother Inaki started out wide, while top goalscorer from last season Oihan Sancet scored and Bilbao are a very dangerous team on the counter. This will be a very good test for Arsenal against a team which doesn't mind sitting deep and then pressing in the right moments to spring counters. Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao prediction This is the final test of preseason for Arsenal and everyone wants to see a big step up in performance levels, and a result. Arteta will go strong with his starting lineup and we should expect a big win. Arsenal 4-2 Athletic Bilbao.

Stephanie Venier retires as world champion in super-G
Austrian Stephanie Venier is retiring from Alpine skiing, six months after winning her first senior world title and six months before the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Venier, 31, said she considered retirement 'for some time' and that recurring knee problems played a role in the decision. 'As the saying goes: The peak of your career is the best time to retire,' she said, according to an Austrian ski federation press release. 'That's why I'm turning my back on ski racing and am very much looking forward to everything that's still to come.' This past Feb. 6, Venier won the super-G at the World Championships on home snow in Saalbach, edging Italian Federica Brignone by one tenth of a second. Venier, at the time ranked ninth in the World Cup super-G standings, earned her second world championships medal — eight years after taking downhill silver. She became the oldest woman to win a world super-G title and the oldest Austrian woman to win world championships gold in any individual event. 'The thought of ending my career isn't entirely new and has been brewing in my mind for some time,' she said, according to Thursday's release. 'But I wanted to take enough time for this drastic decision, because once I've made it, there's no turning back. The unwavering will required for elite sport has simply not been there in recent months to the extent I expect it to be. I more than fulfilled my greatest dream of winning a medal at the home World Championships in Saalbach with a gold and a bronze (in the team combined). Even though the Olympic Games are coming up next year, it feels like the right time for me to draw a line under my racing career. I look back on what I've achieved with great satisfaction.' The other top women's super-G skiers last season included Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami, who won the World Cup season title in the event. Gut-Behrami has said 2025-26 will be her final season. Brignone ranked second behind Gut-Behrami on the World Cup. The Italian is working her way back after breaking her left leg in a giant slalom crash on April 3. The top American super-G skiers are Lauren Macuga, who shared bronze at worlds and ranked sixth on the World Cup, and Lindsey Vonn, who placed second in the World Cup Finals super-G in March. That marked Vonn's first podium in her comeback from a five-year retirement. Nick Zaccardi,
