The Essential Olympics

on BBC One London

Introduced by Desmond Lynam. The first day of action from the athletics stadium features the early rounds of the 100m. Britain's Linford Christie won this title four years ago, but it has been the Americans who have run the fastest times so far this season.

The individual three-day event is now finishing. World bronze medallist Karen Dixon leads a strong British team over the final discipline, the showjumping.
Plus, more swimming, a look ahead to tonight's triple jump event, live action from the cycling velodrome and the bantamweight judo finals.
