Men’s triple jump final
The first gold medal of the day will be decided in the men’s triple-jump final, which begins at 4.50pm (UAE time). American Christian Taylor, who won the title at London 2012, and won the world gold medal last year, is favourite to prevail. But he is expected to be pushed hard by compatriot Will Claye, who was runner-up four years ago.
Men’s 200m first round
Usain Bolt has little time to reflect on his achievement of winning a third 100-metre Olympic gold on Sunday, as he begins his challenge to win the 200m again today with the first round. The Jamaican is due on the track around 6.50pm. The semi-finals take place tomorrow with the final being held on Thursday.
Women’s football semi-finals
Sweden caused a major upset when they knocked defending champions United States out in the quarter-finals at the weekend on penalties. They face another tough task today at 8pm when they take on Brazil for a spot in Friday’s final. The other semi-final match sees Germany go up against Canada, that encounter starting at 11pm.
Men’s 10km swim final
While it was the women who took to Copacabana Beach yesterday to swim four laps of the bay in Rio, today it is the men’s turn to take centre stage, with their race starting at 4pm. London 2012 winner Ous Mellouli is back to defend his title, but the form man is American Jordan Wilimovsky, who won the world championship last year.
Men’s hockey semi-finals
The business end of the hockey tournament is upon us, with this being semi-finals day in the men’s tournament.
