Equestrian is set to take centre stage from a British perspective on Monday, with the eventing team gunning for gold.

Here, the PA news agency provides the lowdown on what to look out for on day 10 of the Tokyo Games.

Equestrian

Great Britain's eventers will go for Olympic gold in team and individual competitions on Monday after a vintage collection of cross-country performances at Sea Forest Park. World number one Oliver Townend, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen hold a huge lead of 17.9 penalties in the team event. Yorkshireman Townend, meanwhile, also heads the individual race for gold on 23.60, with a narrow advantage over Germany's Julia Krajewski. Collett occupies bronze medal position and McEwen is sixth.

Cycling

The Olympic track cycling programme gets under way at the Izu Velodrome, and while Team GB will not contend for a medal on day one the men's and women's team pursuit squads begin their campaigns. The men's team were way out of contention at the 2020 World Championships in Berlin where Denmark triumphed in a world record time, while the women's team of Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Laura Kenny and Josie Knight will hope to eclipse the Americans.

Athletics

Nick Miller and Taylor Campbell feature in the men's hammer throw qualification competition, Beth Dobbin goes in the women's 200m heats with Dina Asher-Smith sidelined, and Holly Bradshaw will hope to qualify for the women's pole vault final. Jessica Turner is in the semi-finals of the women's 400m hurdles.

Gymnastics
