Day five presents itself with an abundance of medal opportunities for Team GB from world champion gymnast Max Whitlock to Tour de France winner Chris Froome with a little bit of European gold medal winning divers Jack Laugher and Chris Mears thrown in.
There are as many as eleven events in which Britain could realistically reach the podium at Rio 2016 on day five with Froome looking to make up for missing out on a medal in the road race in the time trial.
He’ll be joined by Geraint Thomas, who saw a late crash end his own road race hopes, while Whitlock and Nile Wilson go in the men’s gymnastics all-around final and Laugher and Mears go in diving’s men’s 3m synchro.
Emma Pooley will be Britain’s sole representative in the women’s time trial and Andrew Willis and Duncan Scott will lead the medal charge in the pool in the 200m breaststroke and 100m freestyle respectively.
Joe Clarke will bid for Team GB’s first canoe slalom medal after the agony suffered by David Florence on day four – he goes in the K1 semi-finals to start with – and at Lagoa the men’s quadruple sculls are in finals action.
Steve Scott and Tim Kneale have hopefully taken inspiration from teammate Ed Ling’s trap bronze with the men’s double trap pencilled in while Sally Conway takes to the dojo in the women’s -70kg judo category.
Rebekah Tiler competes in weightlifting’s 69kg category to complete the medal opportunities with a host of other Team GB athletes hoping to boost their push to the podium out and about in Rio.
There are also semi-finals in the rowing at iconic Lagoa for the men’s lightweight double sculls and four and women’s pair – featuring Helen Glover and Heather Stanning – and lightweight double sculls also.
Patrick Huston was the first Team GB athlete to compete at the Games on Friday and begins the elimination phase in the archery while Qais Ashfaq fights for the first time in boxing’s bantamweight category.
Team GB’s rugby sevens outfit return against New Zealand aiming to make it three wins from three before the quarter-finals and Johanna Konta faces a busy day on court in the tennis.
She faces Angelique Kerber in the singles quarter-finals and will return with Jamie Murray to start their mixed doubles campaign. Wimbledon champion and Team GB flagbearer Andy Murray faces Fabio Fognini in the third round.
It’s the turn of Team GB’s dressage riders in Deodoro with Spencer Wilton and Fiona Bigwood competing while both the men’s and women’s hockey teams are in pool action against Australia and Argentina respectively.
And the sailing regatta continues at Marina da Gloria with the men’s and women’s 470 and mixed Nacra 17 fleets joining the already ongoing Finn, Laser and Laser Radial competitions with the RS:X on a rest day.
