Look Ahead to Day 6

Published 13 September 2016

After taking gold in the 200m individual medley S6, Ellie Simmonds will return to the pool in search of a third consecutive S6 400m freestyle gold, as wheelchair racer David Weir looks to achieve the same feat in the T54 1500m on day six.

Joining Simmonds in the pool in the same event will be Ellie Robinson, while Alice Tai, Ollie Hynd, Stephanie Millward and Stephanie Slater, are just some of the others in action. And while Weir looks to defend a title, Stephen Miller, Georgina Hermitage and Stephen Osborne also have shots at gold in the Olympic Stadium.

At the Olympic Tennis Centre there are medal chances for Andy Lapthorne and Jamie Burdekin, who are going for bronze in the men’s quad doubles, while Lucy Shuker and Jordanne Whiley also doing likewise in the women’s doubles.

Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett face men’s single quarter-finals, as well as a doubles semi-final together. While at Riocentro, Robert Davies goes for gold in the men’s table tennis class one singles against Korea's Joo Young Dae.

Tuesday also sees the start of GB’s wheelchair fencing campaign as Dimitri Coutya goes in the men’s individual epee category B preliminary rounds, while Gemma Collis and Piers Gilliver also enter the fray.

In the boccia David Smith begins the BC1 mixed individual event, with Joshua Rowe and Nigel Murray in the BC2, while Kieran Steer and Stephen McGuire go in the BC4 event, and Natasha Baker completes Britain’s first involvement in the equestrian Team Test after strong outings for Sophie Wells, Sophie Christiansen and Anne Dunham on Monday.

The women’s wheelchair basketball team has reached the quarter-final stage where they take on China, while recurve archer David Phillips begins his men’s individual campaign in the 1/16 elimination round.

From dry land to the Marina da Gloria and Great Britain have sailors going in the one, two and three-person keelboat classes, with Helena Lucas well placed.

And at the Olympic shooting range Karen Butler and Lorraine Lambert compete in the R8 women’s 50m rifle, three-position, competition, while James Bevis, Ryan Cockbill and Tim Jeffery start their R5 mixed 10m air rifle, prone, qualification campaign.

Medal highlights for the day ahead are below (times denoted are BST) and for results and medal table, visit our interactive micro-site #EVERYROADtoRIO Live. Catch up with events from yesterday, here.
