3 TO WATCH

If you can only catch three events Saturday, these should top your list.

1 Athletics, heptathlon

She headed to Rio as one of Canada’s best hopes to win a gold medal, and Brianne Theisen-Eaton of Humboldt, Sask., will take part in the final events of the eight-discipline sport.

2 Swimming

Penny Oleksiak will compete in the four-by100-metre medley relay and attempt to tie a Canadian record with a fifth Olympic medal — while Ryan Cochrane will compete in the 1,500-metre freestyle. He won silver in 2012 and bronze in 2008.

3 Rowing

Canada’s women’s eights, who won silver at the 2012 Olympics in London, and have not finished off the podium at a world championships since, race for a medal.

And on Sunday ... 1

Athletics, men’s 100-metre sprint

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, below, and American Justin Gatlin are expected to fight for gold — with Bolt attempting to win his third-straight Olympic title — but Andre De Grasse of Toronto will try to shake things up. He finished third at the 2015 world championships.

2

Diving, women’s three-metre springboard

Quebecers Jennifer Abel and Pamela Ware missed the podium in their synchro competition last weekend, so this is their one chance to win a medal in Rio.

3 Men’s golf

The men’s tournament concludes with a final 18 holes in Barra da Tijuca. The winner will become the first Olympic champion since Canada’s George Lyon won gold in 1904.
