The opening ceremony kicks off on July 23rd at 11 am NZST. The first gold medal of the Games will be awarded in the women's 10m air rifle event, which begins at 12:30 pm NZST.
Over the next two weeks, we'll witness some of the world's greatest athletes competing for glory in a wide range of sports, including swimming, track and field, gymnastics, and basketball. Some of the most anticipated events include the men's 100m final (August 1st, 2:50 am NZST), the women's gymnastics all-around final (July 29th, 12:50 pm NZST), and the basketball gold medal games (August 8th, 5:30 am NZST for women and 8:30 am NZST for men).
