Day four at the Olympics will focus on a wide range of events, with Team GB having serious interest in several medals up for grabs.

Meanwhile, the women’s team gymnastics final will attract worldwide attention with Simone Biles leading Team USA on her return to the Games. 

Having won four golds and a silver in Rio, she left Tokyo without a gold and with mental health issues to work through, but two years away from competition revitalised the 27-year-old and she is back to go for more history. 

Sadly, those looking forward to the triathlon will have to wait a day after it was postponed just hours before it was set to start.

A 3.30am inspection of the Seine, found that pollution levels were still too high for athletes to safely swim in.

The next medals will come in shooting with the mixed team 10m air pistol final before Matthew Coward-Holley will look to add to his bronze from Tokyo in the men’s trap final at 2.30pm. 

Mima Ito is known as the greatest threat to the Chinese squad, who traditionally have a stranglehold over this event, and she hopes to continue to fuel the fire in the mixed doubles. 

Alongside the now-retired Jun Mizutani, Ito became the first Japanese Olympic champion in the sport defeating Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen of China and her crown is on the line on Day 4. 

The women take over the Stade de France for the final day of the rugby sevens with Australia on the warpath. 

The side led by Charlotte Caslick won gold in Rio but finished fifth in Tokyo. They bounced back in sensational style, dominating the 2022 World Cup Sevens circuit and Commonwealth Games. 

They finished second to their old enemies New Zealand in the 2022-23 edition, with the same result this season.

Meanwhile, the swimming pool is the place to see records broken on Day 4 with Kaylee McKeown defending her 100m backstroke title.

The Australian already holds the world and Olympic records, with the latter broken at every stage of the competition in Tokyo.

Britain’s swimmers will hope to etch their names into history in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay as the defending champions Tom Dean, Matt Richards, Duncan Scott, and James Guy go in search of the world record. 

The quartet missed the time set by Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, David Walters, and Ricky Berens of the USA by just 0.03 seconds in Tokyo but have been threatening to take the record over the past Olympic cycle.

Gold medals will also be awarded in fencing and judo while Great Britain’s men will battle the Netherlands in a titanic group stage battle in hockey.

What not to miss on day 4 of the Olympics

The Women’s Team Final will see the return of Simone Biles to the final of the Olympic competition she withdrew from three years ago in Tokyo due to a mental health issue. 

The seven-time Olympic medallist, and four-time Olympic champion, is looking back to her best as Team USA looks to reclaim their crown after silver last time.

Alex Yee burst onto the scene with silver in Tokyo last time out and he now has a real chance to claim a maiden individual Olympic gold in a British triathlon squad which doesn’t feature a Brownlee for the first time since Beijing 2008. Expect him to be challenged by rival Hayden Wilde. 

Due to the triathlon being postponed until Wednesday (July 31), viewers will have to wait a day to take this in.
