YOUR GUIDE TO THE DAY AHEAD

THREE EVENTS YOU CAN’T MISS

RUGBY SEVENS (Men’s preliminaries, from 3pm) CAN Great Britain’s men go one step further than the women and reach the final? They get their Olympic campaign under way against Keyna (4pm), followed by a match against Japan (9pm). In between games, why not check out favourites Fiji in action against Brazil (5.30pm)? The country has still never won an Olympic medal of any colour but have a huge chance to take gold in Rio. GYMNASTICS (Women’s team all-around, 8pm) RUBY HARROLD, Claudia Fragapane, Amy Tinkler, Ellie and Beckie Downie may have endured a traumatic qualification round — with 17-year-old Ellie Downie landing on her neck during her floor routine — but the young team will nonetheless be hoping to better the fifth-place finish of their predecessors in London four years ago. The quintet qualified in fourth behind USA, China and Russia. (Men’s preliminaries, 9pm) TEAM GB are languishing in fifth place in Group A after defeat by Belgium and drawing with New Zealand. They face a must-win clash against hosts Brazil (10pm) — the only team in the group without a point. Only the top four teams from each of the two groups advance to the quarter-finals, so there is ground to make up.

AND STAY UP FOR...

SWIMMING (Men’s 200m butterfly, 2.28am) MICHAEL PHELPS — who took his record gold-medal tally to 19 as USA won the 4 x 100m freestyle relay — goes headto-head with 2012 winner Chad le Clos in the early hours. The South African beat Phelps by just 0.05sec in London, and qualified faster than the ‘Baltimore Bullet’ in the Rio heats.
