What to expect from the Scots on Thursday at the Olympics

Scottish athletes could bring their medal haul at the Olympics to 11 on Thursday after Anna Burnet and John Gimson's sailing final was postponed, plus some big names continue their quest for success.

Laura Muir picks up her 1500m campaign, Grace Reid is in the semi-finals of the diving at the Aquatics Centre, and Jack Carlin can sprint his way into medal contention at the velodrome.

Here's what to look out for on Thursday.

Which Scots are competing & when?

Burnet and Gimson had the frustration of waiting around all of Wednesday afternoon to see if conditions would improve enough for their mixed multihull nacra final to go ahead.

Now they have to re-focus as they hope to take to the sea off the coast of Marseille at 11:18.

The pair have good momentum having lifted themselves to third after the 12 qualifying races, as they aim to upgrade their silver from Tokyo.

In athletics, Muir finished second in a very fast heat in which the top six qualifiers all ran under four minutes on Tuesday and goes in the semi-finals at the Stade de France (18:35 BST).

The 31-year-old is in another tough race alongside the brilliant Kenyan Faith Kipyegon, who is hunting a third successive Olympic 1500m title.

A top-six finish is needed to reach Saturday's final, but as Muir's friend and former training partner Jemma Reekie found out in the 800m, it's rarely that simple.

Reid, from Edinburgh, put in a brilliant performance to finish fifth in the 3m springboard preliminary round.

The 28-year-old goes again in the semi-final at 09:00 with the top 12 divers qualifying for Friday's final.

And at the velodrome in Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines Paisley's Carlin is into the quarter-finals, where it becomes a best of three match up.

Carlin already has a silver medal from the team sprint and negotiated the first three rounds of the individual sprint on Wednesday.

The first race of the head-to-heads start from 17:01.
