Thursday marks the 13th day of competition during the Tokyo Olympics with NBC airing the Summer Olympics across a variety of networks.

Primetime track & field finals and semifinals coverage will be presented Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, headlined by Americans Michael Norman and Michael Cherry aiming to contend for medals in the men’s 400m final.
