Look Ahead to Day 5

Published 10 August 2016

The day starts with the men and women’s cycling time trial. Geraint Thomas was a late addition to the race and joins teammate Chris Froome on the 55km course, while 2008 Olympic time trial silver medallist Emma Pooley, who came out of retirement for Rio, goes in the women’s race (30km). Like the road race, the course is set to favour climbers.

Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson will hope to overcome a disappointing team result as they contest in the individual all-round event. As world silver medallist Max Whitlock is Britain’s best medal hopes, but faces one of gymnastics most decorated athletes, Japanese gymnast Kohei Uchimura who has 10 world titles to his name.

Rowing's first finals take place today with Britain in the men's quadruple sculls, a boat which features Peter Lambert, Sam Townsend, Angus Groom and last minute replacement for Graeme Thomas, Olympic debutant Jack Beaumont.

Looking to progress from semi-finals to finals are reigning Olympic champions Helen Glover and Heather Stanning in the women's pair, the men's four comprising of Alex Gregory, Mo Sbihi, George Nash and Constantine Louloudis.

World ranked number four, Andrew Willis, will be competing in the 200m breaststroke final after an impressive performance in the semi-final. He qualified second for the final in a new personal best time of 2:07.73, just narrowly behind Japan's Ippei Watanabe.

In diving, Jack Laugher and Chris Mears compete in the 3m springboard synchro, while Rebekah Tiler takes to the platform in the women’s weightlifting (69kg). And finally Britain’s hockey men and women face Australia and Argentina respectively; Britain’s women having won both of their pool matches so far.

Further details of highlights for day 5 are below (times denoted are BST). Catch up with yesterday’s events click here.
