After a triumphant night in the pool on day two, there a plenty more medal prospects for Team GB on the third day of the Rio 2016 Olympics with complete live coverage across the BBC.
SWIMMING: Adam Peaty’s gold and Jazz Carlin’s silver secured Great Britain their first medals of the Games on Sunday night, with Peaty smashing his own world record to win the 100m breaststroke.
His victory ended 28-year wait for a men’s Olympic swimming title and a second gold in two days could be a distinct possibility thanks to James Guy, who will be seeking to add to Great Britain’s medal haul in the pool.
Guy won the 200m freestyle world title last year in Russia as a 19-year-old, setting a national record as he beat China’s Sun Yang, but the Olympic final, to be held in the early hours of Tuesday morning (02:21), could be even tougher, with Frenchman Yannick Agnel, Germany’s Paul Biedermann and America’s Conor Dwyer set to challenge.
GYMNASTICS: It is a busy day for Great Britain athletes across a varied spectrum of Olympic sports and there are high hopes for success in the men’s team gymnastics final, which takes place from 20:00, with the British looking to go one better than the silver they won in this event in front of their home crowd at London 2012.
RUGBY SEVENS: The first Olympic rugby sevens final will be held from 23:00 as the women’s tournament reaches its climax. Great Britain will face the might New Zealand in the semi-finals, with victory guaranteeing a medal.

ROWING: After yesterday’s unfortunate postponement of all rowing events due to high winds on the Lagoa course, Heather Stanning and Helen Glover will hope to begin the defence of their Olympic title in their delayed women’s pair heat.
Elsewhere today, Sailing begins its first day of action with windsurfers, the men’s laser and women’s laser radial fleets, the world’s leading eventers take on Rio’s cross country course, Britain’s Ed Ling goes in the men’s trap shooting having won world silver two years ago, and archery’s individual men’s and women’s events take place, featuring European bronze medallist Patrick Huston and four-time Olympian Naomi Folkard.
