After two electrifying weeks, the 33rd Summer Olympics are coming to an end in Paris.
However, there is still a chance for New Zealand athletes to bag more medals, with a handful of strong contenders competing on day 16 of the Games.
Due to the time difference, day 16 begins on Sunday evening and runs late into the night, with the closing ceremony taking place on Monday morning.
Here's who to look out for. All times are in NZT.
RNZ will live blog the final day of the Olympics tonight from about 7pm.
Camille French, women's marathon, 6pm Sunday
Camille French, nee Buscomb, will be running in her second Olympics.
In Tokyo, she finished 19th in the 10,000m and exited the heats of the 5000m before switching her focus to the marathon distance.
She posted an Olympic entry standard mark of 2:26:08 in December 2023 in her debut appearance.
Ally Wollaston, women's omnium, from 9pm Sunday
Ally Wollaston is the first in a line-up of New Zealand cyclists to take to the velodrome on Sunday.
She'll be riding the gruelling women's omnium, which sees riders tackle four different races in a test of speed and endurance. Athletes accumulate points depending on their finishing position in each race, and the cyclist with the highest total wins the omnium.
Wollaston has already won a silver medal at these Games, in the women's team pursuit.
She rides the scratch race at 9pm, the tempo race at 9.57pm, the elimination race at 10.53pm and the points race at 11.56pm.

Ellesse Andrews, women's sprint cycling, from 9.22pm Sunday
Ellesse Andrews is returning to the velodrome in fine fettle.
She already bagged a silver medal in the women's sprint relay, then followed it up with gold in the women's keirin.
After breezing through her quarterfinal early on Sunday morning, she will face the semifinals from 9.22pm.
The final decider is at 11.44pm.
Sam Dakin, men's keirin, from 9.29pm Sunday
Sam Dakin is the final Kiwi cyclist to ride on Sunday night.
He'll take part in the keirin, which sees cyclists keep pace with a motorised bike for the first three laps, then race full-tilt for the final three laps.
Dakin was unlucky in the men's sprints earlier this week, when he failed to make it out of the heats, and will be looking to better that performance.
The quarterfinals are at 9.29pm, the semifinals at 10.29pm and the final at 11.32pm.

The closing ceremony, from 7am Monday
The closing ceremony will see a parade of athletes, the extinguishing of the Olympic flame, and the handover of the Olympic flag to Karen Bass - the mayor of Los Angeles, where the 2028 Games will be held.
There will also be an artistic section, featuring Snoop Dogg, French artists Air and Phoenix, and a raft of dancers and circus artists.
Artistic director Thomas Jolly said the show would take the audience on a dream-like journey through time, beginning with the origins of the Olympics and going into a dystopian future, where the Games have disappeared and must be reinvented.
Actor Tom Cruise is also rumoured to be taking part in the show, abseiling down a building.
The ceremony runs until 9.30am NZT.
