Day 15 was a great day for U.S. track and field.

Matt Centrowitz won the men's 1500m, the first gold for American men in that race since 1908. Both men's and women's 4x400m relays snagged gold, and Paul Chelimo won silver in the men's 5000m. In total, the U.S. brought home 31 track and field 31 medals, the biggest haul since 1956. 

Below you'll find the schedule of events for Day 16, the final day of competition, when the U.S. men's basketball team goes for gold and the Olympics will officially come to a close during the closing ceremony.
