Coverage begins in the very early hours Tokyo time as the men鈥檚 50km race walk gets underway. Consisting of a looped course, the athletes will be walking for close to four hours non-stop. There are no British athletes in this race but do look out for Brendan Boyce of Ireland, who will be looking for a strong race. The race goes off so early due to the incredible heat in Japan, and the athletes will be observed by a series of strict judges. Competitors must have at least one foot on the ground at all times and a leg must be straight as it passes the other. This race really is one of endurance.

The third round of golfing action takes place at the Kasumigaseki Country Club, and it could be the last. Concerns about future weather forecasts means that while this round is scheduled as the penultimate it could end up as the final. With that in mind, the competitors will need to go out with the aim of posting a very low score. Look out for world number one Nelly Korda who will no doubt be looking to push ahead of her competitors. Stephanie Meadow of Ireland is -7 in 18th after two rounds, with Korda on -15.

The first of the medal matches begins in the women鈥檚 beach volleyball as Latvian and Swiss duos battle for bronze. Joana Heidrich and Anouk Verg茅-D茅pr茅 of Switzerland take on the Latvia pairing of Anastasija Krav膷enoka and T墨na Graudi艈a.

A sign of the games easing towards a close is seeing the modern pentathlon take place. The event, made up of fencing, swimming, show jumping, shooting and running, sees athletes tested in all skills of sport. GB鈥檚 Kate French will be in medal contention for this event. Should she overcome the show jumping, where you draw a random horse 20 minutes before you ride, she鈥檒l be in a good position for the shoot and run.

The runners up from Rio 2016, the Netherlands, were looking to avenge their defeat against Great Britain five years ago as they faced Argentina in the women鈥檚 hockey gold medal match. The European side go into the match as favourites and overcame GB in the semi-finals, in a repeat of that agonising final. Argentina are ranked three in the world and overcame India in the semi-finals on their way to the final. The Oi hockey stadium has been the hoist of a brilliant competition, which has seen the Indian men win their first medal in 41 years, a repeat of the 2016 final between GB women and the Netherlands in the semi-final, and a fair share of shootouts.
This will be the 14th meeting between the two sides, with Argentina managing to win on just four of those occasions. The Netherlands finished their group unbeaten but in second place while the Argentinian women finished third in their group.

Sweden topped their group with nine points out of nine, including a 3-0 over the US, before beating Japan and Australia in the knock-outs. Should the final be drawn at 90 minutes, there will be two periods of 15 minutes in extra time. If the teams remain level, the game will go to a penalty shootout.
