One way or another, Elizabeth Beisel's remarkable journey to Beijing will culminate tonight, when she swims in the finals of the 200-meter backstroke. Beisel, who had the second-fastest time in last night in the semifinals, will jump off at 10:03 a.m. (10:03 p.m. Eastern) -- it's the first of four swimming finals scheduled tonight.

Immediately after Beisel's event, Michael Phelps will go for his seventh gold medal in these Olympics, this time 100-meter butterfly. That will be followed by the finals of the women's 800-meter freestyle and the men's 50-meter freestyle.

Outside the pool tonight, there will be live coverage of elimination-round men's beach volleyball from 9 to 10, as Americans Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser take on Martin Laciga and Jan Schnider of Switzerland. There will also be live coverage of the preliminary non-beach volleyball match between the United States and China, which begins at 10.

You can catch all these events on NBC -- Cox Channel 10.
