Just signs the water is starting to get a little choppy. Helen Glover and Polly Swann sit in third place.

[Helen and Polly] knew they had to step up after the first race. Although they had a good start, it wasn't the display they expected to put on, so they wanted to step up for the next round, the semi-final, and we saw that.

There is one final race now. Every crew is the same, you leave everything out there. But [Helen and Polly] will have a freedom now. They know they performing as they should, there will be some great opposition and they can just give the best they have got.

Solid start from Helen Glover and Polly Swann in lane two for Great Britain. The Canadian pair of Caileigh Filmer and Hillary Janssens have really taken this out. And lad.

Sam Holloway: Staying up to watch Helen Glover and Polly Swann. Might also stay on for Craig and Grant. By then the swimming will have started... who needs sleep?

I think the women's pairs is a fascinating, tactical decision ahead of [Helen and Polly] as to whether to try and challenge the New Zealanders for gold or aim for a minor medal.

So just how do you get in the groove and combine motherhood with training for the Olympics.

"If it’s weights and I am on my own, I can incorporate the kids into the session – I can lift, have a little dance to Paddington Bear, lift again," said Helen Glover.

"I get a lot less sleep that I used to, which I’ve had to factor in. But the balance is nice. It’s been good for my headspace to get a couple of hours where I’m doing my own thing, and even though I’m physically more fatigued, I am way more energised.”

Helen Glover and Polly Swann go in lane two for Great Britain. The big threats are expected to come from New Zealand pairing of Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast in lane four and Caileigh Filmer and Hillary Janssens, the 2018 world champions, who are going for Canada.

Probably difficult to ignore the Greek pairing of Maria Kyridou and Christina Ioanna Bourmpou both 20, who came from nowhere to power past Glover and Swann in their semi-final.

They won the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.

Helen Glover is going for her third Olympic title at her third Games. There’s quite a nice ring to that isn’t there.

Maybe not so the fact that Glover and Polly Swann only qualified third fastest.

Having retired after Rio 2016, it really would be the mother of all comebacks for Helen Glover, 35, to medal here. Excuse the pun.

Glover,who has three children, is the first mum to make the British Olympic team and only gave birth to twins in 2020. And she was breastfeeding and training until April, adapting her training plan around her children.

Right here we go.

A superb performance sees the Sinkovic brothers, Martin and Valent claim gold in the men's pair.

Looks like someone is pumped for the golf.

Michael Phelps knows all about winning Olympic medals, the former US swimmer has 23 golds and 28 in total tucked away at home.

Weird seeing an Olympics without him in the pool.

Walking in that rough yesterday... I tell you what, it looked short - until you walked on it and It's actually ankle height. It's not easy.

All the coverage on BBC One at the minute is focused on the Sea Forest Waterway.

No Brits featuring in the men's pair final which gets going shortly. But Helen Glover and Polly Swann are up next.

I think it must easier for guys who have played Presidents Cup. They have represented their country, they have had the feeling of the first time you represent your country. It must be fairly unnerving if you have never done it before.

Steady start from GB's Paul Casey. Level after three, though he had a decent birdie shout at the second after playing a delightful iron shot into around 12 feet or so.

Danish golfer Joachim Brandt Hansen currently heads the leaderboard after picking up birdies on the first, fourth and fifth to go three under par.

So who is staying up for all the action from Tokyo? Who are your athletes to watch and what do we reckon for later...? More GB success?

Feel free to drop me a line and let me know what you think on all of the above.

A few more Brits are also in action today they will also be hoping to sniff out medals.

Gymnastics: Twins Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova, who helped GB win a surprise team bronze on Tuesday, compete in the women's all-around final (11:50-14:05), but American great Simone Biles has withdrawn because of mental health concerns.

BMX: Kye Whyte and 2017 junior world champion Beth Shriever are GB's competitors.when the mayhem and racing begins (02:00-04:00).

Rugby sevens: The women's sevens kicks-off (01:00-11:30) with GB facing the Russian Olympic Committee's team, then New Zealand. Both are toughies with the match against the Black Ferns especially so.

Judo: Former world number one and world bronze medallist Natalie Powell takes part in the -78kg category (03:00-06:00) and will look to emulate her team-mate Chelsie Giles, who claimed Britain's first medal of the Games.
