THE WEEKEND AWAITS
As Tokyo sleeps, attentions here turn to what awaits us on Saturday, day 15 of these 2020 Olympic Games.
Medals galore are up for grabs including on the track where the finals of the Men’s 1500m, the Women’s 10000m and both 4 x 400m relays will take place. On the field, there’s the Men’s Javelin and the Women’s High Jump.
Team GB’s best hopes of a gold medal perhaps lie with Galal Yafai, who faces up to Carlo Paalam of the Philippines in the final of the Men’s Flyweight Boxing.
Ethan Hayter and Oliver Wood pair up for the Men’s Madison, hoping to replicate the success of Laura Kenny and Katie Archibald. On a similar note, both Jamie Cook and Joe Choong represent Team GB in the Men’s Modern Pentathlon with Katie French’s triumph fresh in mind.
Elsewhere, the United States will be hoping for a double in the Men’s Baseball and Basketball, taking on hosts Japan and France respectively in the two finals – and France are in another final, the Men’s Handball, in which they will play Denmark.
And if football’s your thing, Brazil and Spain compete for the gold medal in the final of the Men’s game.
It’s going to be some day.
