    Eighteen gold medals:

    Artistic gymnastics (men's individual all-around), BMX freestyle (men's and women's), canoe slalom (women's C1), diving (women's synchro 10m platform), fencing (men's sabre team), judo (women's-70kg, men's -90kg), rowing (men's quadruple sculls, women's quadruple sculls), shooting (women's trap), swimming (women's 100m free, men's 200m fly, women's 1500m free, men's 200m breast, men's 100m free), triathlon (women's and men's individual).

    Highlights

    On Wednesday, the women’s triathlon is due to start at 07:00, before the postponed men's event begins at 09:45. Tests are being carried out daily on the water quality in the River Seine. Team GB have a very strong women's team in world champion Beth Potter, Tokyo individual silver medallist Georgia Taylor-Brown and world top 10-ranked Kate Waugh. France’s Cassandre Beaugrand and Emma Lombardi are also contenders for gold at their home Games. Competitors start from the Pont Alexandre III bridge in view of the Eiffel Tower, swim 1,500m in the Seine then run up a set of steps to start the 40km bike course, which includes some cobbled stretches. Lastly, there is a 10km run.

    In the men's race, GB's Alex Yee will hope to be at the front of the action. Yee won Olympic silver in a pulsating Tokyo contest three years ago. Norwegian Kristian Blummenfelt, who pulled past Yee to win gold that day, is back but has since moved up to Ironman distance then back down again, and it remains to be seen if he will master that transition.

    The men's all-around gymnastics final begins at 16:30, an event where athletes compete on all six apparatus to decide the best overall gymnast at the Olympics. Max Whitlock made it on to the Rio podium in this event eight years ago, but defending champion and multiple world title-winner Daiki Hashimoto is the favourite.

    We reach the freestyle BMX finals from 12:10, where GB’s Charlotte Worthington and Kieran Reilly are proven champions on the world stage. This is freestyle’s second Olympic appearance. To win gold, perform as many tricks as you can in 60 seconds and make sure they are better than anyone else’s.

    Wednesday could bring a medal opportunity for GB’s Mallory Franklin in the C1 women’s canoe slalom (final from 16:25). Australia’s Jessica Fox, one of the greatest canoeists of all time and the Tokyo champion, will be one of Franklin’s biggest rivals. Watch out for Elena Lilik, who beat Andrea Herzog – Tokyo’s bronze medallist – to claim Germany’s sole entry in this event.

    Team GB's Andy Murray speaking to the BBC after his second round men's doubles win alongside Dan Evans: "Tonight we deserved to win, in the first round we were lucky - tonight if it had gone the other way it would have been unfortunate.

    "We were playing well and had lots of chances. We played every point and come up with some great returns when we were down in the third set and we served it out really well, but we left it too close to comfort.

    "It was way better than the first match, certainly from my side - there was nerves in the first match and I didn’t serve well at all. Today from my side I was much happier with how I served and we gave them few chances on the return.

    "If we can serve that way and combine like that we will be tough to beat - obviously winning matches like that builds confidence. The opponents will see that as well, that we have been coming back and always there at the end - that helps."

    Britain's Vicky Holland, who won bronze in the women's triathlon at the 2016 Olympics, has spoken about the possibility of the triathlon becoming a duathlon on BBC Radio 5 Live: "Friday is the next contingency plan if tomorrow the water quality is not quite up to scratch again and then we were told it would go to a duathlon.

    "At that point it becomes just a bike and run race. although it is usually arranged so it is a run leg, a bike leg and then another run leg so it will just cut out the swim portion of the race altogether.

    "None of the athletes want that. Even the athletes, I think, who have qualified as strong runners and who might be thinking that no swim plays into their hands a little bit, they qualified for a triathlon, they want there to be a triathlon.

    "We want to showcase our sport, we don't want it to be a duathlon. We want those Olympic medals to go to the best triathletes on the planet and not duathletes."
