The final day of Olympic action may be finished by mid-afternoon, but there’s no shortage of medals up for grabs.
There are 13 golds to be won on Day 16, with Team GB targeting a strong finish across a multitude of sports.
Track Cycling
There are three gold medal events on the final day of track cycling.
First up is the women’s sprint final at 12:45 CET, featuring Sophie Capewell and reigning world champion Emma Finucane, who are both into tonight’s quarter-finals.
Finucane is looking for her third medal of the Games after gold in the team sprint alongside Capewell and Katy Marchant, and bronze in the keirin.
This is followed by the men’s keirin at 13:32, which will feature Jack Carlin, whilst Hamish Turnbull faces the repechage.
Carlin is also looking for his third medal of the Games, with silver in the men’s team sprint alongside Turnbull and Ed Lowe, and bronze in the individual sprint.
The women’s omnium will be decided at 13:56 and will feature Neah Evans, who will be aiming to win Team GB’s last medal of the Games.
Evans already has a silver medal from Paris 2024 in the women’s madison and won World Championship points gold last summer.
Modern Pentathlon
The women’s modern pentathlon final begins at 11:00 and should conclude by 13:30, with Team GB athletes well-placed heading into the final.
Kerenza Bryson topped the standings in her semi-final with 1402 points, while Kate French, the reigning Olympic champion, qualified in fifth with 1398 points.
Bryson goes into the final in fifth with 230 points and French in third with 240 points after the fencing ranking round, which carries through into the final.
Weightlifting
Emily Campbell will contest the women’s +81kg weightlifting event, which starts at 11:30.
Campbell clinched silver in Tokyo, earning Team GB’s first ever Olympic women’s weightlifting medal.
Since then, the 30-year-old has added world silver and bronze, as well as four successive European titles and a Commonwealth gold.
Athletics – Women’s Marathon
The women’s marathon gets underway at 08:00. Team GB are represented by Rose Harvey, Calli Hauger-Thackery and Clara Evans.
Harvey, 31, will compete at her first Olympic Games just two years after turning professional.
She set a PB of 2:23.21 at last year’s Chicago Marathon, becoming the fifth-fastest British woman of all time.
Both Hauger-Thackery and Evans are also making their Olympic debut, with the latter called up as a replacement for Charlotte Purdue, who withdrew due to an ankle injury.
With thanks to Team GB
