The men’s gymnastics team final is one of the major highlights of today, with GB spearheaded by Olympic champion, Max Whitlock. It kicks off at 11am.
Most of the Scottish interest will be in the pool over the next 24 hours, with several medal hopes in action.
Assuming he navigated the semi-finals safely, Duncan Scott will go in the final of the 200m freestyle at 2:43am tomorrow morning (UK time), an event in which he is a former European champion and world bronze medallist. He will be up against one of the home favourites, Katsuhiro Matsumoto of Japan, but the defending champion, Sun Yang of China, is absent due to a doping ban.
Another medal contender in the pool is Kathleen Dawson, with the final of her specialist event, the 100m backstroke, at 2:51am.
Glasgow sailor, Charlotte Dobson, will begin her quest for gold in the 49er FX at 4:05am, with the Scot partnering Saskia Tidey.
GB’s women’s hockey team, which includes Scots, Sarah Robertson and Amy Costello, take on South Africa at 10:30am this morning aiming to bounce back from defeat to Germany while the men’s side, which includes Scot Alan Forsyth, themselves face Germany at 4:15am tomorrow.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
