7.17am BST

Good morning. Sorry there weren’t any British medals yesterday. GB are guaranteed one in women’s boxing today, as Britain’s Nicola Adams has reached the final in the flyweight division, and is fighting Cancan Ren of China at 4.30pm. If Adams wins, she gets gold; if she loses she gets silver – the first ever Olympic medals handed out in women’s boxing. If you like the sport, make sure you catch Irish superstar Katie Taylor in the lightweight final against Sofya Ochigava of Russia at 4.45pm too.



Britain are also guaranteed a medal as they face Australia in the men’s 470 sailing. Australia are four points ahead and will win gold if they finish no worse than two points behind the Brits Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell. They cast off at 1pm.



China is still top of the table with 36 golds and 77 altogether, with America not far behind on 34 golds and 81 in total. Britain is next with 22 golds, 13 silvers and 13 bronzes, a total of 48.



Here’s what else is coming up today:



9am: The decathlon continues with the 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and ending with the 1500m at 9.20pm. Long day for the decathletes.



10am: Women’s 10m diving semi-final, followed by the final at 7pm.



10.08am: Britain’s Rachel Cawthorn is in contention for the women’s single kayak 500m race. She came second in her semi-final on Tuesday.



Midday: The women’s 10km marathon swim. Keri-Anne Payne is the British 10km open water world champion and won silver in this event in Beijing. The race takes place in the sedate surroundings of the Serpentine in Hyde Park, perhaps a more genteel setting than Payne is used to. “It’s a tough sport,” she has said. “I once came out with jellyfish stings, a bloodied nose, a black eye and sore feet.” The event should last about two hours.



Midday: Today is the first day of the four-day rhythmic gymnastics individual and group all-round competition.



12.30pm: Grand prix freestyle individual dressage. Britain’s Laura Bechtolsheimer, riding Mistral Hojris, Carl Hester, on Uthopia, and Charlotte Dujardin, on Valegro, are hoping to make up for yesterday’s disappointment for their show-jumping colleagues.

3pm: Britain's Liam Phillips takes part in the men's BMX quarter-finals.



5pm: Norway take on South Korea in the first of the women's handball semi-finals. Spain take on Montenegro at 8.30pm – little Montenegro down on the Adriatic Sea!



7.20pm: Men’s triple jump final (sadly without Britain’s Phillips Idowu).



7.45pm: The women’s football final between the US and Japan. The Americans have appeared in every final since women’s football arrived in the Olympics in 1996 and have only lost once, to Norway in 2000. Japan and the US last met at the world cup final in Germany last year, a match Japan won on penalties. The Americans are the favourites, having won all their matches at the 2012 Games. The bronze medal match between Canada and France is at 1.30pm.



8pm: Men’s hockey semi-final – Netherlands v Great Britain. GB survived a gruelling encounter with Spain to reach this semi. The Dutch went through their pool games undefeated.



8pm: Britain’s Andrew Osagie said he was “in disbelief” after qualifying for the 800m final, the first British man to do so for 20 years. He will have to produce the race of his life to win a medal. The overwhelming favourite is Kenya’s David Rudisha.



8.55pm: Usain Bolt and Jamaican rival Yohan Blake battle it out in the men's 200m final. A victory for Bolt will make him the first man in history to retain the 100m and 200m Olympic titles. A loss now will probably be the most sensational upset of the 2012 Games.



9pm: Women’s javelin final.



9pm: The men’s beach volleyball (which, strangely, doesn’t seem to get half the attention the women’s version does) final between Brazil’s Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego, and Germany’s Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann.

10.15pm: The women’s under 57kg and men’s under 68kg taekwondo finals, with the previous rounds earlier in the day. Britain’s Jade Jones and Martin Stamper are competing.

Stay tuned for all this and more throughout the day.
