Jason Kenny will be looking to add to his medal collection in the men's keirin at the the Izu Velodrome in Tokyo. This Olympics has already seen Kenny become the joint most successful British Olympian in history as Team GB took silver in the men’s team sprint - if he is able to add one medal to his collection he will hold this title individually.

Over in the ring, Lauren Price will bid for a gold medal against Li Qian in the women's middleweight boxing final.

The marathon event will see three Team GB athletes take to the track, but Callum Hawkins, Ben Connor and Chris Thompson face a mighty task if they want to medal as Kenyan legend Eliud Kipchoge aims to become just the third man to defend his Olympic title after gold at Rio 2016.
