Diving offers hope of more gold, while there are also potential podium opportunities across rowing, swimming, cycling and at the equestrian centre.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the most likely chances of Team GB clambering further up the medal table.
Diving
Jack Laugher will be aiming to retain his gold from Rio alongside new partner Daniel Goodfellow in the 3metres synchronised diving from 0700BST.
Rowing
The men’s coxless four of Sholto Carnegie, Oliver Cook, Rory Gibbs and Matthew Rossiter will be aiming for gold in the final at 0210. Helen Glover, looking for a third Olympics title, and Polly Swann are in action in the semi-finals of the women’s pairs from 0420.
