Day 12: 大象传媒 One - 12:45 - 15:00

Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Andre de Grasse athletics as Ben Meher and Explosion W go for gold, plus weightlifting.

GB were looking to win gold in the individual show jumping event and follow in the footsteps of Nick Skelton and his horse Big Star, who won gold in Rio. Ben Meher and Explosion W are strong chances for a medal having qualified in top spot. Fellow Britons Harry Charles and Scott Brash were also looking for medals. It can be common in equestrian show jumping for there to be a jump-off, whereby riders and horses with equal scores face off again to decide the medals.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson continues her heptathlon with the 200m. The Brit will be looking to move up the leader board and launch a points attack on the current medalists.

The showpiece event of the evening session will be the men's 200m final, where Canadian de Grasse will hope to hold off a field which includes three Americans to win gold

The men's +109kg weightlifting class awarded medals today with Lasha Talakhadze of Georgia the clear favoruite. Some of these athletes could be pushing weights in excess of 450kg (70 stone) and the medals could be awarded to any of the seven competitors in Group A.
