Get ready for one of the busiest days of the London 2012 Games with 24 sports in action throughout the day, including the beginning of the athletics competition, regarded as the flagship event of every Olympics.
Exactly a week on since the Olympic Stadium staged one of the most memorable opening ceremonies of recent Games, the serious action inside the 80,000-seater venue, as more than 2,000 athletes compete in 47 events over the next 10 days, making athletics the largest single sport at the Games.
British fans will be closely following the fortunes of Jessica Ennis as she begins her quest for Olympic glory in the heptathlon, which opens up proceedings inside London’s Olympic Stadium.

Swimming resumes with more finals from the Aquatics Centre, including Lizzie Simmonds in the 200m backstroke and Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly.
But the star attraction will be Rebecca Adlington defending her 800m freestyle Olympic title. Adlington is more than a second quicker than anyone else in the world this year.
It’s the final day of the archery competition at Lord’s with the men’s individual medal set to be awarded. Great Britain’s remaining representative is Larry Godfrey, who will be aim for a place in the final stages of the tournament and possibly a medal.

On the women’s side, Victoria Azarenka meets Serena Williams, and there is all Russian affair in the other semi-final, as Maria Sharapova faces Maria Kirilenko.
