GB medal hopes in athletics evening session.

The evening medals session continues in the athletics, where GB go for relay and 1,500m gold.

The evening athletics session on Day 14 sees British medal opportunities on the track, while there are medal events on the field and qualifying races. 
The session opens with the 4x400m men’s heats. GB go in the first heat up against extremely tough opposition in the US, Botswana and Trinidad and Tobago. Cameron Chalmers, Joe Brier, Lee Thompson and Michael Ohioze went for GB with the first three qualifying automatically from each heat, plus the two next fastest across the races. 
On the inner field, the final of the women’s Javelin would see athletes look to throw upwards of 60 metres. Maria Andrejczyk has good form coming into this final but she’ll face tough opposition from Eda Tugsuz of Turkey and Shiying Liu of China. Also keep an eye on Kelsey-Lee Barber of Australia, who will also be challenging for medals. 
Viewers are still coming to terms with an Olympics without Mo Farah with the double 5,000m gold medallist not in Tokyo to defend his title. Andrew Butchart goes for GB in this final but look out for Joshua Cheptegei, who is favourite for gold. 
Shaunae Miller-Uibo is looking to make it a second gold for the Bahamas in the 400m after Steven Gardiner took gold in the men’s event. She will need to get through a strong field including Allyson Felix, who is going for her 10th Olympic medal. GB’s Jodie Williams is an outside shout for a medal. 
The first of three track events with very strong British chances starts with Laura Muir in the women’s 1,500m final. The Scot will need to fend off Faith Kipyegon and Sifan Hassan, the latter going for an unprecedented triple gold in the 1,500, 5,000 and 10,000 metres. It is expected to be a sub 3:55:00 race, so Muir will need to stay in the top end of the race until she can use her sprint finish.
Britain’s women are looking to go one step further than their bronze from Rio as they go in the 4x100m final. Asha Philip, Imani Lansiquot, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita are up against the might of the US and Jamaica, both of which have put out extremely strong sides. 
In the final event of the session, GB’s men go in the 4x100m final. Chijindu Ujah, Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake will be looking for a medal in an event which shockingly doesn’t feature the US. Jamaica and Canada will be tough opponents but look out for Italy, who are having an incredible athletics programme.
