The penultimate day of the Rio Olympics gets underway with plenty left to play for as 31 gold medals will be decided on Saturday, with Mo Farah, Tom Daley and Nicola Adams all harbouring hopes of a golden finish to the 2016 Games.

First up is defending boxing Olympic champion Adams as she bids to retain her flyweight gold medal when she faces Sarah Ourahmoune of France, with the fight scheduled to get underway at 18:00 [all times BST].

Then it’s over to the diving arena, where after two weeks of high thrills, British success and the infamous green pool, Daley bids to win his second medal of the Rio Games in the men’s individual 10m diving final, having already secured synchronised bronze alongside Dan Goodfellow.

Attentions will then turn back to the track, where Farah bids to become the first athlete to win the 10,000m and the 5,000m at two consecutive Games since Finland’s Lasse Viren achieved the feat in 1972 and 1976. Farah faces fierce competition though in the form of a trio of Ethiopians in Hagos Gebrhiwet, Dejen Gebremeskel and Muktar Edris, and the race gets underway around 01:30 in the morning.

Elsewhere, the final round of the women’s golf gets underway with Britain’s Charley Hull nicely placed to challenge for a medal in tied-fifth, with South Korea’s Inbee Park leading the way, while Liam Heath bids for his second Olympic medal in Rio in the men’s 200m K1 canoe sprint, having already won silver in the doubles with Jon Schofield.

The women’s triathlon also takes place with Britain’s Non Stanford, Helen Jenkins and Vicky Holland harbouring hopes of a medal, and the day wraps up with the 4x400m relay finals, although Great Britain will only feature in the women’s event after the men were disqualified in their heat.

Away from British interest, the final of the men’s football sees hosts Brazil take on Germany in the Maracana Stadium, with the Selecao looking to gain revenge for the 7-1 thrashing the senior team received by Germany at the 2014 World Cup, and with the likes of Neymar and Gabriel Barbosa among their squad, there is every chance of home success.
