Tokyo Olympics: golds for Kenny and Archibald, silver for Muir and more as it happened – The Guardian

The key events for tomorrow, via our daily briefing.

All events are listed here in local Tokyo time. Add an hour for Sydney, subtract eight hours for Bristol, 13 hours for New York and 16 hours for San Francisco.

Athletics (7.35pm-9.50pm) Theres only one session in the stadium on Saturday and it is final after final. We get the womens high jump and the mens javelin. The womens 10,000m final is at 7.45pm. The mens 1500m final is 8.40pm. Then we finish the track events in the stadium with the explosive double whammy of the womens and mens 4x400m relay finals.

Womens marathon (6am) Held in Sapporo to try and avoid the Tokyo heat, the women will start at around 10pm UK time so you can settle in with your Ovaltine for a late night watching someone else run 26.2 miles to gold.

Golf (6.30am) It should be the fourth and final round of the womens golf weather permitting.

Canoe sprint (9.30am-12.47pm)There are four finals on Saturday, in the womens canoe double 500m, mens canoe single 1000m, and the kayak four 500m in both flavours.

Beach volleyball (10am-12.20pm)The mens bronze match features pairs from Latvia and Qatar, followed by Norway and Not Russia serving for gold.

Diving (10am and 3pm)The mens 10m platform semi-final and then the final.

Basketball (11.30am, 4pm and 8pm)The programme is all topsy-turvy possibly for the benefit of US TV audiences but the morning starts with the mens gold medal game between the USA and France. At 4pm, its the womens bronze final (France v Serbia) with the mens bronze medal match between Australia and Slovenia at 8pm.

Baseball (12pm and 7pm ) First the bronze medal match between the Dominican Republic and South Korea, and then the final in the evening between Japan and the USA.
