Medals could come in a variety of sporting disciplines for Great Britain on day six of their home Games.
At the top of that list comes track cycling in the new state-of-the-art Velodrome inside the Olympic Park, where Team GB’s star names will to build on from the momentum following Bradley Wiggins’ superb victory on the road time-trial.
The first day of action sees Victoria Pendleton and Jess Varnish riding for team sprint gold against Australia, while Jason Kenny, Philip Hindes and Sir Chris Hoy team goes up against formidable French and German opposition in the men’s equivalent.
Rowers Helen Glover and Heather Stanning delivered Team GB’s first gold medal of the entire London 2012 Games on the waters of Eton Dorney on day five, and there will be plenty of strong British contenders for medals on day six.
All three finals will feature British interest, including the lightweight men’s four and women’s eight.
Target sports feature heavily during the day, with the medals set to be decided in the women’s individual archery at Lord’s, and the men’s double trap shooting final takes place over at the Woolwich Artillery Barracks from 3pm, where GB’s Peter Wilson and Richard Faulds are set to star.
On the final day of the Canoe Slalom competition at Lee Valley, the men’s C2 and women’s K1 canoe slalom finals both have strong British interest, with David Florence and Richard Hounslow becoming the first paddlers to compete in two separate events at the same Olympic Games.
At tea-time inside the North Greenwich Arena, expect a ferocious battle between the US and Russia to be crowned women’s all-around gymnastics champion, featuring names such as Jordyn Wieber and Aliya Mustafina.
In the pool, another epic Michael Phelps v Ryan Lochte battle is anticipated in the men’s 200m individual medley, with GB’s James Goddard also involved in the same race, while Fran Halsall is Britain’s outstanding hope in the women’s 100m freestyle.

Tennis at Wimbledon also continues with the knockout stages of the men’s and women’s singles and doubles, and the mixed doubles.
. 4.00pm-6.00pm – OLYMPICS 2012 Presenter: Sue Barker, with Jake Humphrey CyclingTrack cycling competition begins at the London Velodrome, including the finals of the women’s team sprint.
Great Britain have an outstanding recent history in this sport, and will expect to be challenging for medals in most of the disciplines, with Victoria Pendleton and Jess Varnish going for gold this evening, and the Australians likely to be their closest rivals.

Phelps won an incredible 14 gold medals over the last two Olympics in Athens and Beijing, and is confident of adding to that tally, although Lochte matched him during the dramatic US trials, and the pair are hard to separate in a number of disciplines.
