Here are the big events still on the cards today:
CAMERON McEVOY - SWIMMING (HEATS FROM 2AM, FINALS 11AM)
A moment of truth for Cam McEvoy as he looks to translate his No.1 world ranking into gold in what would be Australia's first men's 100m freestyle victory since Michael Wenden in Mexico City in 1968. The budding astro-physicist has posted some great times since finishing second at the Kazan 2015 world championships and if he can repeat his 47.04 from earlier this year then that should be good enough to claim gold. Kyle Chalmers swam a PB in the heats and the semi and goes into the final as the second fastest qualifier, so he could also rattle the podium. The man that they'll both be chasing is the defending champion and fastest qualifier Nathan Adrian (USA).
BOOM, BABY, BOOM – BASKETBALL (8AM)
The Boomers take on the USA in a group A match at the Carioca Arena, hoping to stare down the challenge of the world’s most formidable line-up, who have managed to beat their opponents by an average of 50 points per match so far. Australia has played the Americans seven times in Olympic competition for seven losses, their closest battle being a 10-point defeat in 2004. While the Boomers field a number of NBA players – and the class and relentless quality of the all-star USA line-up will take its toll – it's a great chance for our boys to make a statement in their quest to claim our first Olympic medal in men's basketball.
