    Who will step up in Taylor's absence?published at 01:02 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    Men's triple jump

    With double Olympic and four-time world triple jump champion Christian Taylor absent from the men's triple jump competition after rupturing his Achilles tendon in May, who will claim glory in Tokyo?

    It could very well be Hugues Fabrice Zango of Burkina Faso, who set a new indoor world record in January and became just the seventh man in history to clear 18m.

    There are two qualification groups, with the first just getting under way. A qualifying performance of 17.05m is required to guarantee a final place.

    GB's 2009 world youth champion Ben Williams is in Group B.

    Bradshaw into pole vault finalpublished at 00:58 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    Women's pole vault

    On Monday, British pole vaulter Holly Bradshaw secured her place in Thursday's final following a rain-interrupted qualification.

    Bradshaw, aiming to win her first major championship medal outdoors, required just the one attempt at 4.55m to keep her hopes alive.

    "It's the dreamy way to qualify - just do one jump and save energy," said Bradshaw. "I've never experienced anything like that in my life, it was the worst conditions I have ever had."

    The final of the day?published at 00:54 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    Men's 400m hurdles

    The men's 400m hurdles (03:20) could be one of Tokyo's most entertaining finals as a host of stars bid to succeed Kerron Clement, who won gold in Rio but isn't in the US team this time.

    Norwegian world champion Karsten Warholm is at the top of the list, having broken the 400m hurdles world record - which was 29 years old - at the start of July.

    Can world record holder Duplantis get his Olympic gold?published at 00:50 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    Men's pole vault

    He holds the world record, but can Armand Duplantis get his hands on an Olympic gold medal?

    One of his main rivals, Sam Kendricks of Team USA had to withdraw from the competition after testing positive for Covid-19 in Tokyo.

    Brazil's defending champion Thiago Braz hasn't reached a major podium since his gold in Rio five years ago but could still be a contender today.

    Harry Coppell represents Team GB in that one later today.

    Sprint queens set for 200m finalpublished at 00:47 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    There is, of course, no Dina Asher-Smith in the women's 200m final after the reigning world champion withdrew through injury.

    But fresh from their one-two finish in Saturday's 100m final, Jamaica's Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will go head-to-head once again at 13:50 BST.

    Thompson-Herah clocked the fastest semi-final time, but don't rule out the fastest woman over 200m in the world this year, US sprinter Gabby Thomas.

    It promises to be a fascinating race.

  10. Can Team GB close the gap on London and Rio medal haul?published at 00:36 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    Simon Gleave
    Head of sports analysis, Nielsen Gracenote

    After 10 days of Olympic competition in Tokyo, Great Britain has 35 medals including 11 golds.

    The number of medals is down on both Rio 2016 (41) and London 2012 (40) but the next two days provide opportunities to close that gap as no medals were won by GB in Rio or London on Day 12.

    Rio and London were Great Britain's best Olympics since 1908 but Team GB look like falling short of those heights this time around as the 11 golds won so far fall well short of London's 18 and Rio's 16 at this stage.

    World number one Oliver Townend, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen sealed victory in the final show jumping stage before McEwen later earned a solo silver.

    Emily Campbell then became the first British woman to win an Olympic weightlifting medal when she took silver in the +87kg category.

    The 27-year-old finished with a total combined weight of 283kg to place behind China's Li Wenwen, who made 320kg, and win Team GB's 35th medal of the Games.
