Andy Murray, Jason Kenny, Callum Skinner and Nick Dempsey are all guaranteed medals on day nine of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games – it’s just a question of colour for three of them.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Murray will bid to become the first man to win successive Olympic men’s singles tennis titles when he faces Juan Martin Del Petro in the final.
Track cyclists Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner already have team sprint gold in their locker in Rio but face each other in a tantalising final of the individual sprint in the velodrome.
Sailor Nick Dempsey meanwhile cannot win anything but silver in the men’s RS:X with gold not a possibility in the double points medal race and there no chance of him being overtaken.
Giles Scott can join those four in guaranteeing himself a gold medal if he can extend his overall lead after the final two qualifying races in the Finn to beyond 22 points.
Justin Rose is in pole position to win the first Olympic golf gold medal for 112 years and tees off on his decisive fourth and final round at 14:39 BST with a one-shot lead.
Max Whitlock returns to the gymnastics arena for both the floor and pommel horse finals, qualifying for the latter in first place with teammate Louis Smith second.
Mark Cavendish begins his bid for a long-awaited Olympic medal in the omnium back in the velodrome while the evening sees the blue-ribband 100m final in track and field.
The semi-finals come first with CJ Ujah and James Dasaolu attempting to book a spot in the highly-anticipated final and Matthew Hudson-Smith goes in the 400m final.
Alyson Dixon and Sonia Samuels go in the marathon in the morning, Grace Reid dives in the women’s 3m final and Team GB’s showjumpers get up and running in Deodoro.
Synchronised swimmers Olivia Federici and Katie Clark also compete for the first time in Rio with the duet free routine starting proceedings at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre.
There’s a hive of action at Riocentro with Rajiv Ouseph and Kirsty Gilmour back in singles action in the badminton while a trio of Team GB boxers take to the ring.
Middleweight Savannah Marshall begins her campaign and Pat McCormack and Josh Buatsi will hope to keep theirs rolling in the welterweight and light heavyweight respectively.
The Team GB men’s table tennis outfit of Paul Drinkhall, Liam Pitchford and Samuel Walker also face off against China in the team quarter-finals after a fine first-round win over France.
