There are five medal opportunities for Team GB today as over 100 athletes, nearly a third of the entire squad, compete in 13 sports.
Sailing, men’s Finn races 1 & 2 (5:00pm)
Giles Scott has had to wait in the wings before making his Olympic debut at Rio 2016.
The Finn sailor has won four world titles and two European golds but has never before competed at the Games – but that comes with the territory when the great Sir Ben Ainslie is your direct rival.
But following Ainslie’s retirement from Olympic sailing, the 29-year-old Scott gets his long-awaited campaign underway on Tuesday with the first two races in the Finn class.
Men’s team, v Kenya (4pm) v Japan (9pm)
After Team GB’s women’s team lost in their bronze medal match, the men’s squad start their campaign with games against Kenya and Japan.
Captain Tom Mitchell has backed his players to make a mark when the 12 nation tournament begins.
New Zealand are also in Team GB’s group and top two teams in each pool, plus two best third-placed teams, will progress to the knockout stages.
Canoe Slalom, men’s C1 semi-final (5:30pm) & final (7:16pm)
David Florence has two Olympic silver medals to his name already – and how he would love to turn that to a gold in Rio.
The canoeist looked in supreme form in the C1 heats on Sunday, qualifying third fastest and opting not to do a second run on the Deodoro course.
Then on Monday he and partner Richard Hounslow cruised through C2 qualifying to build confidence and set up the 34-year-old for a tilt at the title in Tuesday’s C1 finals.
Team final (8:00pm)
Team GB’s female gymnasts watched as their male counterparts finished fourth in their team final - and will be desperate to go one better.
The squad of Rebecca Downie and sister Elissa, Claudia Fragapane, Ruby Harrold and Amy Tinkler qualified in fourth for the final so if everything goes to plan they should be well in medal contention on Tuesday night.
Swimming, 200m medley final (03:29am)
Siobhan-Marie O’Connor has burst onto the scene in the past two years – she won six medals at the Glasgow Commonwealths in 2014 and backed that up with world bronze in the 200m medley in Kazan last year.
She cruised through her heats on Monday – second only to Katinka Hosszu who already has 400m medley gold and a world record – and backed that up in the semi-finals to make the final as the quickest qualifier.
O’Connor is not the only medal chance in the pool tomorrow with the men’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay also in action.
