The men's weightlifting final sees athletes post scores of 400kg, plus GB's semi-final match against the Netherlands and GB's Sky Brown in the women's skateboarding park.

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.

In a repeat of the 2016 women's hockey final Great Britain take on the Netherlands, this time in the semi-finals. GB came through a penalty shootout against Germany to make it to this match, which will decide who goes into the gold medal match. The Netherlands have been in fine form since their 2016 loss, losing on very few occasions.

In a dominant performance over New Zealand, world number one side the Netherlands will be favorites for this semi-final. They came through the pool stages unbeaten and scored 18 goals. Great Britain scored 10 goals in their pool phase but lost to the Netherlands 1-0.
