Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with 20 medals, swims for his final individual gold medal of the London Olympics Friday night in the 100m butterfly, a race which he memorably won by .01 seconds in Beijing. Missy Franklin swims for her third gold medal – fourth overall – in the 200m backstroke, her best event. Also in primetime, Cullen Jones and Anthony Ervin chase gold against the fastest men in the pool in the 50m freestyle.

MAG 7, the story behind the gold medal-winning women’s gymnastics team from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, airs tomorrow night in primetime. All seven members of the team (Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Dominique Dawes, Kerri Strug, Amy Chow, Amanda Borden and Jaycie Phelps) reunited to review that victory in Atlanta with reporter Meredith Vieira and producers Lee Ann Gschwind and Jack Felling.
