Rio 2016 rundown: Today’s Olympic action (Day 4)

Swimming, gymnastics and judo among the medal events

Denmark is still hunting its second medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, but there’s not much chance of that happening in today’s action.

Most of the action takes place out on the water with rowing and sailing dominating proceedings, but there are no finals today with Danes involved. However, Jonas Høgh, a silver medalist from London 2012, gets his first taste of action.

A total of 15 gold medals will be won today with some of the more interesting coming in events such as:

15:00 + 19:00 – Equestrian (eventing team & individual)

21:00 – Gymnastics (women’s team all-round)

20:58 – 22:01 Judo (men’s -81kg + women’s -63kg – semis, bronze and gold medal bouts)

03:19-04:29 – Swimming (men’s 200m fly + 4x200m free relay, women’s 200m free + 200m medley)
