Olympics Today

on BBC One London

Desmond Lynam presents the sporting highlights of a day which held much promise for Britain. On the track, 3,000m runner Yvonne Murray was aiming to become Britain's first female gold medallist in a distance event. On the water, Richard Fox was among the slalom canoeing favourites, and Barrie Edgington and Penny
Way held high hopes of victory in the closing races of the men's and women's boardsailing. Britain's Karen Briggs was fighting for an Olympic gold to add to her already large collection of world judo titles: France's world champion Cecile Nowak is her chief rival in the extra-lightweight division. Plus the main medal news, an update on the yachting, and action from the men's gymnastics apparatus finals.
