Lydia Ko, women's golf tournament round three, 7pm Friday - 4am Saturday
Lydia Ko returns to Le Golf National for the third day of the women's individual tournament.
Ko was second equal at five-under at the end of play on day 13 and, if she continues this streak, will be a strong medal contender in Paris.
She already holds a silver medal from Rio 2016 and a bronze from Tokyo 2020 - can she make it three in a row?
Dame Lisa Carrington and Alicia Hoskin, women's 500m kayak doubles, from 8.50pm Friday
After a gold medal in the women's kayak fours on Thursday night, Dame Lisa Carrington and Alicia Hoskin are back in action in the 500m kayak doubles.
They are the favourites for the event and we're more than likely to see another podium place.
The semifinals begin at 8.50pm, with the final at 11.10pm.
Less likely to medal are the the Kiwi contenders for the men's kayak doubles, Kurtis Imrie and Hamish Legarth, who only just scraped through the quarterfinals.
Their semifinals begin at 9.10pm and the men's 500m final is at 11.30pm.

New Zealand's women cyclists have been going from strength to strength, and we could be in for more medals as they return to the Velodrome on Saturday morning.
Ellesse Andrews won gold in the women's keirin on Friday morning.
Andrews and Shaane Fulton are in the women's sprint qualifiers at 12am after winning silver, with team-mate Rebecca Petch, in the three-woman sprint relay earlier this week.
After the qualifiers, riders go head-to-head with the other athletes to determine who will race for the medals.
Meanwhile, Bryony Botha and Emily Shearman ride at 4.09am in the women's madison after winning silver, with Ally Wollaston and Nicole Shields, in the women's team pursuit on Thursday.
The madison is a relay race that sees teams of two take it in turns to do laps around the track.

Eva Morris and Nina Brown, artistic swimming, 5.30am Saturday
And now for something completely different! Artistic swimmers Eva Morris and Nina Brown will hit the water to present their duet technical routine.
Artistic swimming combines water acrobatics with music, and routines are scored on difficulty, synchronisation, execution and artistic impression.
Maddi Wesche, women's shot put final, 5.40am Saturday
Maddi Wesche was one of only three athletes in the opening round on Thursday night to hit the 19.15-metre mark and automatically qualify for the finals.
Her throw of 19.25m was beaten only by Canadian shot putter Sarah Mitton, who threw 19.77m.
United States athlete Chase Jackson was the favourite to win the women's shot put, but didn't make it through the qualifiers after two no-throws and a third attempt that fell well short and saw her finish outside the top 12.
That has thrown the competition wide open and sees Wesche, who finished seventh at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, in with a real chance.
If she ends up on the podium, it will be New Zealand's first track and field medal at this year's Games.
