Hazel Irvine introduces live coverage from day eight of the 2016 Rio Olympics, including rowing, the heptathlon long jump and the first round of the men's 100m.
Athletics and rowing take centre stage as Hazel Irvine and Gabby Logan introduce the latest action from the Rio Olympics.
Great Britain's rowers expect to have medal chances in the finals of both the men's and women's eight, which take place against the spectacular backdrop of the Christ the Redeemer statue on the Corcovado mountain.
The British men are world champions, but they face a formidable challenge from Olympic gold medallists Germany.
At the athletics stadium, heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill continues the defence of her Olympic title with the long jump, an event in which she recently set a new lifetime best.
Fellow Brit Katerina Johnson-Thompson is also looking to earn big points.
It is also the first round of the men's 100m, with Olympic legend Usain Bolt getting his campaign underway along with rival Justin Gatlin and British trio James Dasaolu, James Ellington and CJ Ujah.
