Men's Hockey: Great Britain v Australia

7pm BBC3, BBC Olympics 7

A strong start to the competition, thanks largely to Ashley Jackson's penalty corners, has set GB up nicely for this tussle with the Pool A joint leaders, World Cup champions and tournament favourites, Australia. Even a draw would all but assure GB of a place in the semi-finals. If they can reproduce the form they showed on Friday in comfortably beating Pakistan 4-1, they should be confident of competing well.

Athletics: Women’s 400m Final

9:10pm BBC1, BBC Olympics 3

But then she was clear favourite in Beijing and took bronze (Britain’s Christine Ohuruogu won gold).

Julie Walters: why I'll be watching athletics

“I love the sprints. The 100m final is pure theatre so I won’t miss that. Sprinting is close to my heart because I was once a 200m county champion. I couldn’t have made a career out of it; I was so nervous, I used to throw up before the race and afterwards. Not pretty!”


Unsung hero: Ivan Ukhov, 26, Russia

The high jumper set a personal best jump of 2.39m at the Russian championship — this is also the world’s highest jump of 2012.

Ivan competes in the men's high jump qualification - tonight at 7:05pm, BBC Olympics 3
