Great Britain’s men’s four aim to win a sixth consecutive rowing gold, while British swimmers look to get in among the medals on day five in Tokyo.

The history of the GB men’s four is a rich one, with the likes of Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent among those who have helped steer the boat to gold at the last five games. Now a quartet of Olympic debutants in the shape of Ollie Cook, Matt Rossiter, Rory Gibbs and Sholto Carnegie hope to add their names to the list of British Olympic men’s four champions.

In the pool, Britain have high hopes of a medal in the men’s 4 x 200m freestyle, where Duncan Scott and teammates plan to upset the USA’s hopes of winning a fifth gold in a row. And USA superstar Katie Ledecky aims to become the inaugural Olympic women’s 1500m champion.
