Look Ahead to Day 6

Published 11 August 2016

It's over to the velodrome as qualification begins for Britain’s track cyclists. Their first medal prospect will be in the men’s team sprint featuring London 2012 teammates Philip Hindes and Jason Kenny, and Callum Skinner; Kenny will be aiming to add a fourth Olympic gold medal to his collection. Having won nine medals at London 2012, expectations are high among the British team.

Bad weather put paid to the first rowing finals yesterday so we can now look forward to bumper sessions over the next couple of days. Peter Lambert, Sam Townsend, Angus Groom and Jack Beaumont line up again for the quadruple sculls final, while after a strong semi-final, Katherine Grainger will compete for her fifth Olympic medal alongside Vicky Thornley in the women’s double sculls final.

David Florence will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing individual event in the slalom canoe’s C2 category. Florence and C2 partner Richard Hounslow will be looking to better their silver medal performance from London 2012, while Fiona Pennie goes in the semi-final and final of the K1.

Judo’s Natalie Powell overthrew London silver medallist Gemma Gibbons on her way to qualify for Rio and today the Commonwealth champion starts her Olympic campaign in the women’s 79kg category.

In archery Naomi Folkard shoots for a medal in the women’s individual event and in gymnastics the women's all-around contest gets under way, with Britain’s Ellie Downie competing.

See below for more highlights on day 6 (times denoted are BST), or visit #EVERYROADtoRIO Live for a full schedule, live updates and stats.
