After a massive day of competition on Thursday, the Paris Games are back on, with plenty of must-watch contests to kick the weekend off.
Due to the time difference, day seven begins on Friday evening NZT and stretches into Saturday morning.
Here's who to look out for. All times are in NZT.

New Zealand's fastest-ever female 100m sprinter is set to make her Olympic Games debut in Paris.
She's up in the heats at 9.50pm.
In Sydney in March 2023, Hobbs became the first woman in Oceania to crack the 11-second mark for the blue riband event and repeated the feat in Switzerland four months later.
If the 26-year-old can make the final in the Stade de France on 4 August she will become the first Kiwi to reach such a pinnacle in 100 years. The last to do so was Arthur Porritt who won bronze at the Paris Games in 1924.

Jackie Kiddle and Shannon Cox, women's lightweight double sculls final, 10.22pm Friday
New Zealand rowers bagged three medals in the space of an hour on Thursday night - can Jackie Kiddle and Shannon Cox add to that haul?
This is both rowers' first Olympics and their performance so far has been impressive.
The pair won their heat, then came second in their semifinal.
Here's hoping for another strong day on the water from the rowers.
