Does anyone know when Olympian Kyle Dake will be wrestling and on what channel match can be seen?

Men's 74kg starts Aug. 4 at 10 p.m. ET. Looks like the coverage is all streaming or on the Olympic Channel (you usually need a sports tier on your cable package to get this) until the gold-medal match, which is on USA on Aug. 6.

EDIT: Based on the air time, that USA coverage is taped, so if you want to watch the gold-medal match live, you need to stream it.

If you have the NBC Sports app linked to a cable provider you can watch everything on the app, though it isn't particularly user-friendly. And a ton of commercials that are sometimes inserted at surprising times.

The Peacock interface is the worst sports media UI I've ever seen, and I've used the Ivy League Digital Network.

Kyle Dake's first match is scheduled for 10:51 eastern time tonight against an Iranian opponent. I don't know if that gets moved up if prior matches end in a fall.
If he wins, he would be in the second quarterfinal and the quarterfinals are scheduled to start at 11:26, immediately after the first round ends.

It should be on the Olympic channel and also internet streamed on nbcolympics.com

Dake wins his opening match 4-0 vs. the #4 seeded Iranian.

Dake's next match will be against a wrestler from Belarus who beat Garzon of Cuba 12-8.

wouldn't worry too much about seeds; Dake isn't going to be seeded because he's been wrestling at 79kg, which isn't an Olympic weight, so he had to cut to 74. I don't think he was able to compete much to get seeding points due to the pandemic.

That said, this weight class is stacked. Chamizo and Sidakov are both 2x world champions and Otoguro has an incredible resume as well. Abdurakhmanov not quite at their level but also very good.

Dake got bullied. 11-0 tech. Looked weak, tbh, so the weight cut may have really affected him.

Dake gets beat in 2nd round match by tech fall.
He'll only get a chance at the repechage if the Belarus wrestler beats the #1 seeded Italian in the semis.

His opponent looked MUCH better than Chamizo but Chamizo is a hard guy to figure out. Incredibly flexible and his style is to do just enough to win instead of piling on points. Dake has a real chance at repechage.
