Olympics day nine: Tommy’s time in Paris?

Golf and swimming come to an end at the Olympics.

Published

Super Saturday never really got going for Team GB, so we go again and this time let’s hope it’s a Super Sunday instead.

It’s the end of the road (or lane?) for swimming at this Olympics, while the athletics has one of its highlights with the men’s 100 metres final.

But who will be celebrating with a medal at the end of today?

Tommy’s time?

Tennis titans clash

Novak Djokovic will try to win the one major tennis prize to elude him at Roland Garros. The proud Serbian has been chasing Olympic gold since 2008 but so far has only one bronze medal to show for his efforts. If he is to stand on top of the podium he will need to reverse the result of the Wimbledon final, with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz standing in his way. They are second on court following the women’s doubles bronze medal match which starts at 12.00pm (11.00am BST).

Turn to Amber
