Olympic Grandstand

on BBC Two England

Live action from the men's tennis final in which Andre Agassi, competing in his first Olympics, could find himself in a position to take the gold medal. The final was expected to be an all-American affair between star players Agassi and Pete Sampras, but, with Sampras's withdrawal through injury, Agassi may add to his Wimbledon and US Open successes. Britain's Wimbledon hero Tim Henman and team-mate Greg Rusedski would be surprise finalists.

Boxing has reached the final stages with six golds decided today and there are live reports from the cycling time trials where Britain had high hopes for Chris Boardman, Graeme Obree and Yvonne McGregor. There's also the final of the women's volleyball.

On the penultimate day of athletics, there's a look back at last night's stories from inside the Olympic Stadium and a preview of tonight's nine finals, which include the relays. In the men's 4 x 100m in Barcelona, Carl Lewis won his eighth Olympic gold medal as part of an American squad who broke the world record with a flawless display of baton passing. The Americans were again in world-record breaking form in the Barcelona 4 x 400m men's relay with Britain picking up the bronze medals.
Tonight's other finals include the men's and women's 1500m, women's high jump, men's javelin and men's 5,000m.

Plus news from canoeing and individual dressage finals, and a look ahead to tonight's final in men's basketball. Introduced by Sue Barker.
