THROUGHOUT THE GAMES we’ll bring you all the info you need to set you up for the Olympic day ahead.

Think of this slot as your balanced nutritional start to propel you through an intense sporting day ahead.

(All times are Irish, no gloating about your exotic location allowed).

Flying the Irish Flag

Derry’s Aileen Reid will be aiming to claim Ireland’s third medal of Rio 2016 when she competes in the women’s triathlon from 3pm.

European modern pentathlon champion Arthur Lanigan-O’Keeffe starts his second day with the swimming event at 4pm.

While Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow enter the final round of the women’s golf event in the middle of the pack, with little chance of claiming a medal.

Best of the Rest

Whether or not you believe football should be in the Olympics will become irrelevant when Brazil take on Germany in the men’s football final.

The Maracana seems the perfect stage for Brazil to claim their first gold medal in the competition – the only major title missing from their catalogue of trophies. The match will kick-off at 9.30pm, let’s hope it’s closer than their World Cup semi-final.

On the track, Mo Farah aims to pick up his second gold medal of the Games in the final of the men’s 5000m at 1.30am.

Meanwhile, the final evening of track events of Rio 2016 takes place, but it should be worth staying up for as the finals of the men’s and women’s 4x400m relays takes place from 2.00am.

This Should Be Good Too

If you fancy yourself as a bit of diving expert following the exploits of Oliver Dingley, you can watch Great Britian’s Tom Daley go for his first Olympic gold medal when he competes in the men’s 10m platform dive from 3.00pm.
