  2. What's coming up?published at 00:50 British Summer Time 29 July 2021

    Rowing: Helen Glover could, after four years away from the sport, return to the top step of a rowing podium on Thursday if she and Polly Swann win the women's pair (01:30). Emily Craig and Imogen Grant are then up in the lightweight women's double scull after qualifying for the final third fastest.

    Swimming: James Wilby was the second-fastest qualifier for the men's 200m breaststroke final (02:45) and Commonwealth champion Alys Thomas squeezed into the women's 200m butterfly final (03:27).

    Hockey: Britain's women's hockey team play the Netherlands at 11:00 in Pool B in a repeat of the gold medal match from Rio five years ago. Coincidentally, Britain's men also play the Netherlands on Thursday at 04:15, and a win would pretty much see them into the knockout phase.

    Canoe slalom: Team GB's Mallory Franklin, the 2017 world champion in the women's C1 slalom canoe, will go for gold at the Kasai Canoe Slalom Centre (06:00-08:45).

    Shooting: It’s trap finals day (01:00-08:55) with Matthew Coward-Holley and Aaron Heading participating in the men’s event and Kirsty Hegarty representing GB in the women’s event.

    There are going to be a lot of players who haven't played with their groups before. That's kind of the nature of the Olympics. They are coming from all corners of the golf course.

    I think it's a start here that you have to take advantage of.

    The par fives are really long - even by male Tour standards - the guys have been saying they have been hitting driver-driver to get anywhere near it, so you're not going to nail those birdies as you would be expecting.

    Respectful welcome for Matsuyama grouppublished at 00:49 British Summer Time 29 July 2021

    Polite applause as Japan's Hideki Matsuyama is announced on the first tee.

    The 2021 Masters champion is a national hero but you could barely tell with Australian Marc Leishman and Corey Conners both receiving a very similar welcomes from those at the side of the course.

    Men's coxless four

    Britain has a long history of success in the blue-riband men's four event, with a run of five successive golds stretching back to James Cracknell, Steve Redgrave, Tim Foster and Matthew Pinsent's victory in Sydney 2000.

    It's fair to say the lads of 2021 didn't have a great day at the office though. Without this mishap they might have snaffled a bronze.

    For the very first time, Team GB picked up a medal in the men's quad sculls.

    If you missed their gutsy row on day five, you can watch the closing stages of it by clicking play.

    Some tired and overjoyed bodies in that boat. Bravo Harry Leask, Angus Groom, Tom Barras and Jack Beaumont.

    Teeing off at Tokyo 2020published at 00:29 British Summer Time 29 July 2021

    BBC Red Button

    I've been teeing this entry up for a bit....

    Round one of the men's Olympic golf at Kasumigaseki Country Club, which is 40 minutes north of Tokyo, is under way.

    The club's East Course was first designed in 1929, then overhauled five years ago in preparation for the Games, primarily to add length, given for example that the average driving distance on the PGA Tour is almost 300 yards.

    Britain's Paul Casey has just smashed his opening tee shot down left of the fairway at the first.

    His three-ball sees him playing with US golfer Justin Thomas and Chile's Joaquin Niemann.

    You can watch all the action via the red button on your TV.

    Men's 4x200m freestyle

    Another champagne moment for you here.

  11. GB's impressive start to the games continuespublished at 00:16 British Summer Time 29 July 2021

    Charlotte Dujardin won dressage bronze to become the most decorated British female Olympian on, as Team GB's swimmers secured gold to take Britain's medal tally to 16 on day five in Tokyo.

    Dujardin, 36, took her personal haul of medals to six- three gold, a silver and two bronze - surpassing rower Dame Katherine Grainger and tennis player Kitty McKane.

    "It is mind-blowing," Dujardin, who hopes to compete at Paris 2024, told BBC Sport. "To think I have achieved all of that. It's just so surreal."

    In the pool, Tom Dean and Duncan Scott, who had won gold and silver respectively on Tuesday, combined to help GB win the 4x200m freestyle relay and the team's fifth Tokyo 2020 gold.

    Elsewhere, Britain's rowers won silver in the men's quadruple sculls,but there was disappointment in the men's four as a run of golds stretching back over the previous five Olympics ended with a fourth-place finish.

    We'll get to that shortly.
