Showjumper Scott Brash and swimmer Duncan Scott added much-needed medals to the haul accrued by Scottish athletes at the Olympics on Friday.

While Saturday is a quieter day, there is still the potential for more success for those Scots on Team GB.

Scott could add a ninth medal to his collection if he races alongside Kathleen Dawson in the mixed medley relay, while in the rowing Rowan McKellar and Sholto Carnegie go in the women's and men's eight finals.

Sailor Anna Burnett also starts her bid to upgrade the silver she claimed three years ago in Tokyo.

Which Scots are competing & when?

Kirkcaldy swimmer Kathleen Dawson will look to shake off her personal disappointment in the backstroke when she goes - potentially alongside Scott and Adam Peaty - in the 4x100m mixed medley relay final (20:58 BST).

First up at the rowing regatta is the women's eight final at 09:50 including Glasgow's Rowan McKellar.

That is swiftly followed by Sholto Carnegie in the men's boat (10:10).

And off the coast of Marseille Burnett begins her campaign alongside team-mate John Gimson in the mixed multihull Nacra sailing.

The pair took silver together in Tokyo as well as winning the world title too.

The first race in a series of 12 which run until Tuesday begins at 12:05.

And finally, Amy Costello, Charlotte Watson, and Sarah Robertson could feature in Great Britain's final pool match in the hockey, against Argentina, having already qualified for the next round. (10:00).
