Dan Walker and Sam Quek guide you through a busy morning as British athletes seek to rule the waves in sailing and put the brakes on their rivals in the cycling velodrome.
Sailing medal races are taking place in the men's 49er and women's 49erFX events, with both British crews coming into the Olympics with realistic prospects of a podium finish. Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell are former world champions, although it will be a huge upset if anyone beats New Zealand's reigning Olympic gold medallists Blair Tuke and Peter Burling. On the women's side, Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey have performed consistently in recent years, culminating in a world silver medal in 2020.
At the velodrome against a backdrop of Mount Fuji, Britain's cyclists begin their defence of the men's and women's team pursuit titles. The women's team sprint also takes place, with Australia the favourites and Great Britain unlikely to be in medal contention.
