The Rowsellas are into three rowing finals with Tara Rigney in the single sculls, and both the women’s and men’s eight having a shot at a medal.

The men’s cycling team will hit the road for a 272km race with Michael Matthews among the medal contenders and Ben O’Connor getting a late call up in place of the injured Lucas Plapp .
