There are 13 medals to be won on day 16 and Team GB, having met their predicted count of 63 medals, are still in with a chance of picking up a few more.
The marathon is currently underway with Calli Hauger-Thackery, Clara Evans and Rose Harvey in action, out of medal contention.
Britain’s best chance comes in the velodrome where there are three medal events on the final day of competition.
Emma Finucane who already has a gold medal and a bronze from the team sprint and Keirin, is through to the individual sprint semi-final which takes place at 10.20am.
Should she get through to the final, that will take place at 12.05pm.
At 10.30am, the men’s keirin quarter finals take place featuring Jack Carlin and Hamish Turnbull. The semi’s are scheduled for an hour later with that event reaching a dramatic climax at 12.30pm.
In between the sprint and keirin, the women’s omnium is taking place featuring GB’s Neah Evans who picked up silver in the madison earlier in the week.
The omnium is made up of four events, the scratch race gets things underway at 10am followed by the tempo race at 10.55am.
The third event is the elimination race at 11.50 before the competition concludes with the points race just before 1pm.
Breaking news this morning was that defending champion in the modern pentathlon, Kate French has withdrawn from the competition due to sickness – a big blow for Team GB.
However, there is still hope of medal from that event with Kerenza Bryson in action from 10am, she is currently in fifth.
Also in action at 10am is Tokyo silver medallist Emily Campbell who goes in the +81kg final of the weightlifting. She is hoping to go one better than Tokyo and claim the gold medal in Paris.
Can Team GB overtake their haul of 64 medals they claimed in Tokyo? They need one more to equal that total.
