It’s the final push for glory in Tokyo and Hong Kong cyclist Sarah Lee is among those hoping to go out with a bang.
The track cycling star is likely competing at her last Olympics, and has one shot left at adding to the bronze medal she won in London in 2012. After a slow start at the Games, Lee looks to be coming into top form at just the right time, beating Mathilde Gros and then Katy Marchant to reach Sunday's sprint semi-finals.
Earlier, golfer Tiffany Chan completed her final round at Kasumigaseki Country Club, shooting a one-under par 70, to finish on six-over.
China has added to its already impressive medal haul with another diving gold, after Cao Yuan's historic 10m platform final win. His teammate Yang Jian took silver. Boxer Gu Hong fought in the final of the women’s welterweight division, where she lost to Turkey’s Busenaz Surmeneli. Mengya Sun and Shixiao Xu also came first in the canoe double 500m at the Sea Forest Waterway.
