Olympics tips: Daily schedule highlights and best bets for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games


We've picked out the best bets for every day of the Olympics, as well as details of key events and medals so you don't miss an opportunity at Tokyo 2020.


Daily highlights and medals

Sunday August 8

If you want to squeeze every last drop out of Tokyo 2020, you will need to be up early on Sunday as the final medals are handed out.

The men's marathon is the final track event but will not finish in the Olympic Stadium, conditions forcing a change in venue. That's under way first of all, on Saturday evening in the UK.

From a British perspective all eyes are on Lauren Price, who goes for boxing gold in the women's middleweight at 0645 BST, the third of four bouts which end things in the ring.

The velodrome will be busy all morning but done before sunrise in the UK, with the women's omnium last to go at 0425, and the men's kierin and women's sprint before it.

Handball and volleyball finals also take place but water polo has the honour of drawing things to a close, Greece set to face Serbia in the gold medal match at 0830, after which comes the closing ceremony.
