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

It must have been some melter of a fortnight in the village watching the rest of Team Ireland compete and then celebrate their participation in the Olympics.

But this afternoon — on the final day of the Rio Games — Ireland’s three marathon men get their shot at glory.

Kevin Seaward, Mick Clohesy and Paul Pollock take to the line at 1.30pm.

Best of the Rest

Can Team USA beat Serbia and claim another Olympic gold medal? Kevin Durant and co certainly think so.

Let Timmy ‘Downtown’ McCarthy ease your Sunday evening fear (7.45pm). Australia and Spain battle for the bronze at half three. There’s loads of gold medal matches in the wrestling and the women team’s rhythmic gymnastics reaches a conclusion.

This Should Be Good Too

The Closing Ceremony should be fun and Gary O’Donovan will be carrying the flag for our lads.

And finally, in case you missed it, here’s what happened yesterday
