STAMFORD, Conn. - July 30, 2021 - With American Suni Lee winning gold in the women's gymnastics all-around, multiple U.S. medal-winning performances in the pool (Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky swim for gold tonight in primetime on NBC), and the beginning of the track & field competition, NBC's Thursday primetime presentation delivered the highest-rated night of the Tokyo Olympics (10.8 HH rating), based on official live plus same day data provided by Nielsen and digital metrics from Adobe Analytics.

"We continue to deliver massive Tokyo Olympic audiences which are dominating the media landscape throughout the day and across all platforms," said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports "The greatest weekend in sports is now upon us, and we look forward to continuing the momentum."
