Olympics LIVE: Louie Hinchliffe beats Noah Lyles in 100m heats with Tom Pidcock in road race after rowing gold
There are 27 gold medals up for grabs on day eight of the Olympics as Great Britain look to extend their record start to Paris 2024 on what could be a super Saturday.
It’s the final day of rowing and Great Britain ended a hugely successful regatta by claiming a superb gold in the men’s eight and taking a creditable bronze medal in the women’s eight.
The women’s 100m final is the pick of the late action where Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita hoping to challenge the might of the USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson and Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price.
Before then, Simone Biles is back in action and goes for her third gold of the Games in the vault final, while Max Whitlock bids for a historic third consecutive gold on pommel horse and Jake Jarman targets a medal on the floor. Fresh off his stunning victory in the mountain bike, Tom Pidcock also features in the men’s cycling road race.
And the swimming is set to produce another night of drama with Katie Ledecky looking to continue her dominance of the 800m free and Great Britain able to field a strong side in the mixed 4x100m medley relay – especially if Adam Peaty has sufficiently recovered from Covid to be selected.
