What's new at the Tokyo Olympics?

Tuesday, 3 August - day 11

Medal events: 26

Artistic gymnastics (men's parallel bars, women's beam, men's horizontal bar), athletics (women's long jump, men's 400m hurdles, men's pole vault, women's hammer throw, women's 800m, women's 200m), boxing (women's feather, men's welter), canoe sprint (women's K1 200m, men's C2 1,000m, men's K1 1,000m, women's K2 500m), cycling (women's team pursuit, men's team sprint), diving (men's 3m springboard), sailing (women's skiff 49er FX, men's skiff 49er, mixed Nacra 17, men's Finn), weightlifting (men's 109kg), wrestling (women's freestyle 68kg, men's Greco-Roman 77kg, men's Greco-Roman 97kg).

Highlights

The women's 200m (13:50) takes place, but will be without reigning world champion Dina Asher-Smith, who has withdrawn from the event because of injury. But it still leaves the mouth-watering prospect of Elaine Thompson-Herah seeking to secure the 100m-200m sprint double against fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, US sprinter Gabby Thomas - the fastest woman over 200m this year - and Shauna Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas.

Could this be Britain's greatest day in the velodrome? Both Laura and Jason Kenny will be in action as the women's team pursuit (09:26) and men's team sprint (09:44) medals are decided. Laura Kenny has won the team pursuit at two Olympics in a row and Jason Kenny has won the team sprint at every Games since Beijing 2008 - but what shape are they in this year?

There are big medal opportunities on the water for Britain, too. Giles Scott, a Rio Olympic champion, defends his title in the Finn class medal race (06:30-07:00). In the mixed Nacra 17 class (07:30-08:00) Britain's John Gimson and Anna Burnet are the 2020 world champions. Meanwhile, team-mates Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey plus Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell compete for podium places in the rescheduled women's and men's skiff 49er medal races (04:30-05:00 and 05:30-06:00).

Meanwhile, boxing hands out its first medals. Pat McCormack, the 2019 world silver medallist in the men's welterweight division, takes on Cuba's Roniel Iglesias in the Tokyo final (11:05). Caroline Dubois and Galal Yafai could guarantee themselves medals in their respective events (04:35 and 09:30).

Brit watch

Teenager Keely Hodgkinson, Jemma Reekie and Alex Bell will be on the start line together in the women's 800m final (13:25), and one or more of the trio could make it onto the podium. Hodgkinson won her semi-final while Reekie finished second in hers and Bell ran the quickest time of the three to claim her place

As if there weren't enough opportunities above, Jazmin Sawyers and Abigail Irozuru compete in the women's long jump final (02:50-04:10), while Adam Gemili and Nathaneel Mitchell-Blake seek to qualify for the men's 200m semi-finals (heats 03:05 and semi-finals 12:50).

Jack Laugher had to settle for second place in diving's 3m springboard event in 2016. Tuesday brings his chance to go one better (07:00-08:30). At the 2019 World Championships, he led heading into the final round before ultimately picking up bronze.

Joe Fraser is a medal threat for GB on the final day of artistic gymnastics. Fraser was the 2019 world champion on parallel bars and that final begins at 09:00.

Showjumping begins (11:00-14:45) with three Britons in action: Ben Maher and Scott Brash, who each helped GB to a first showjumping team Olympic title in 60 years at London 2012, are back alongside Holly Smith for Tokyo.

World watch

Simone Biles will compete in the women's beam final (07:50) with the American taking up her final chance of an individual medal at an Olympics where she has withdrawn from four other finals. The American has not competed since last week's team final, where she performed on vault before pulling out to protect her mental health. Meanwhile, Japan's Daiki Hashimoto will seek to produce something special in artistic gymnastics' last event, the spectacular men's horizontal bar final (10:40).

The men's 400m hurdles (03:20) could be one of Tokyo's most entertaining finals as a host of stars bid to succeed Kerron Clement, who won gold in Rio but isn't in the US team this time. Norwegian world champion Karsten Warholm is at the top of the list, having broken the 400m hurdles world record - which was 29 years old - at the start of July.

Brazil's Thiago Braz delivered one of Rio's defining images when he won the 2016 host nation's only athletics gold medal in the men's pole vault (11:20). Braz hasn't reached a major podium since but could still be a contender in Tokyo, where the main threat is expected from Sweden's world record holder Armand Duplantis. American world champion Sam Kendricks is missing after having to withdraw after testing positive for Covid-19.

Rio 2016 champions Brazil face Mexico in the first of the men's football semi-finals (09:00) and hosts Japan take on Spain in the second (12:00).

It's the quarter-finals in the men's basketball and the defending champions the United States take on Spain (05:40).

Expert knowledge

Sport climbing makes its Olympic debut with qualification for the men's combined event (09:00-14:40). There are three disciplines and the winner will be the athlete who performs best across all three. Speed climbing will see athletes race head-to-head to tag a buzzer at the top of a climb, bouldering means navigating sets of climbs without a rope that emphasise physical and gymnastic ability, and lead climbing will measure how far athletes get up a taller wall with each handhold earning a point. Combining those three into one event is a fairly new concept, and turns the Olympic event into a form of climbing triathlon.
