Summer Games Done Quick 2018: what to watch on the second day

Eight world record holders perform in their top events over the second 24 hours of Summer Games Done Quick (noon today until noon Tuesday). The eighth edition of the speedrunning marathon for charity kicked off from Minnesota yesterday. You can watch all of the action live, right here.

Here are the world-record holders (according to speedrun.com) scheduled to appear in the 23 events over the next 24 hours (all times ET). The full schedule is here.
