GAMES HIGHLIGHTS WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR TOMORROW

Athletics — women’s heptathlon (from 1.40am)

World champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be hoping to push defending Olympic champion Nafi Thiam all the way, as the final three events of the heptathlon take place tomorrow. While the Briton would appear to face a tall order to stop the Belgian, having had her season disrupted by an Achilles injury, the 28-year-old will be desperate to at least crack the podium after finishing sixth in Rio.

Athletics — men’s 110m hurdles final (3.55am)

After the incredible feats of Sydney McLaughlin and Karsten Warholm, we look set for more fireworks over hurdles. America’s world champion Grant Holloway looks in supreme form as he bids to add the Olympic title to his collection, having come within 0.01 seconds of the world record already this year. On a fast track, it should be under threat again here.

Basketball — USA v Australia, men’s quarter-final (5.15am)

The USA have won gold at all bar one Games since the Dream Team lit up Barcelona in 1992 but have looked vulnerable this summer and now come up against an Australia team that beat them in a pre-Olympics warm-up. The Aussies, meanwhile, are looking to reach their first Olympic final after four semi-final defeats. The rivalry between the two countries will be present on the football pitch, too, with Alex Morgan and Co taking on Sam Kerr’s Australia in the women’s bronze medal match at 9am.

Boxing — men’s flyweight semi-final (6.48am)

Galal Yafai is already guaranteed a medal after a superb quarter-final win over Cuba’s Yosvany Veitia, which ensured Britain will enjoy their best medal haul in more than a century in the boxing ring. However, the Commonwealth champion will be desperate to go further as he takes on Kazakhstan’s Saken Bibossinov for the chance to fight for gold.

Cycling — men’s omnium (from 7.30am) There has been a significant shake-up to the omnium format for these Games, with greater emphasis placed on endurance events and the number of disciplines reduced from six to four. The result is that all the action is now crammed into a single day, starting with the scratch race and finishing with the points race, with elimination and tempo races in between. Britain’s representative is Matthew Walls, who won bronze at the World Championships last year.

Athletics — women’s pole vault final (11am) Holly Bradshaw is enjoying a phenomenal season, having set a new British record and moved into the world’s top 10 all-time thanks to a 4.90m clearance at the national championships earlier this summer. Now the 29-year-old is looking to add a first global outdoor medal to her CV after a series of near-misses. Greece’s defending Olympic champion Katerina Stefanidi and Russian world champion Anzhelika Sidorova are among her major rivals.
