Jason Mohamad presents full coverage from Rio, including the women's high jump, the men's javelin, the men's 1,500m, the women's 800m, the men's 5,000m and the 4x400m relay finals.
Jason Mohamad presents coverage full from the penultimate day of competition at the Olympic Games in Rio. Coverage begins with the women's high jump final and men's javelin final, before attention turns to the track and the men's 1,500m. That is followed by the women's 800m, in which British hopes rest with Lynsey Sharp and Shelayna Oskan-Clarke.
It is then the turn of fellow Briton Mo Farah, who hopes to become the first man to successfully defend an Olympic 5,000m title since 1976. Farah has been virtually unbeatable at the distance in recent years, winning three successive world titles over 5,000m. The athletics action concludes with the 4x400m relay finals. Great Britain should be medal contenders, having won bronze in both the women's and men's events at last year's World Championships. However, the ever-formidable teams from the USA and Jamaica will provide tough competition.
Away from the track there are also gold medals at stake in the women's volleyball and taekwondo.
