Day one of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games begins on Saturday morning with 12 gold medals available and a host of Team GB athletes hoping to culminate four years of gruelling training and sacrifice with victory.

The main event in terms of British interest will be the men’s cycling road race as three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome bids to add Olympic gold to his already extensive list of honours. He competes with fellow Britons Adam Yates, Geraint Thomas, Ian Stannard and Steve Cummins in a strong Team GB line-up.

The action in the pool will also be of importance as medal contenders Adam Peaty, James Guy and Hannah Miley all begin their campaigns in heat action, while the men’s gymnastics team get their qualification efforts underway.

There’s also British interest in the equestrian, judo, rowing and tennis, while rugby sevens makes its debut at the Olympics and the two-week long boxing schedule gets underway.

The action finishes with a crunch women’s hockey match between old rivals Great Britain and Australia in what is sure to be a fiery encounter.
