Kenny faces the daunting challenge of filling Sir Chris
Hoy's shoes after being selected ahead of the reigning Olympic champion
for Britain's sole individual sprint place. France's
Gregory
Bauge,
the world champion, was always likely to provide a tough a opponent
whoever was selected, but Kenny will be optimistic of improving on his
silver from Beijing.
Kenny must first get past
Njisane
Nicholas Phillip
from Trinidad & Tobago in the semi-final (16:00). Victoria
Pendleton continues her individual sprint campaign, facing Belarusian
Olga Panarina in the quarter-finals (16:43).
Read up on the protagonists:
- ATHLETICS (20:45-20:46):
Dai
Greene,
men's 400m hurdles
Greene might be the reigning
world champion but the Welshman has a huge task on his hands to add
Olympic gold after scraping into the final with the seventh-fastest
time. Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico's Javier
Culson qualified fastest.
Holly
Bleasdale
has joined the elite in the women's pole vault over the last year
and could be in the mix for medals (19:00-21:06), with world record
holder
Yelena
Isinbayeva
the favourite.
This is the big chance for Tweddle to finally win the
Olympic medal that has eluded her in more than a decade at the top of
the sport. The 27-year-old Liverpudlian, who has won three world, six
European and seven British titles, topped the leaderboard in
qualification on Sunday ahead of He Kexin of China and Russian Viktoria
Komova. China's four-time world and defending Olympic champion
Chen
Yibing
is one to watch in the men's rings final (14:00).
Britain's showjumping quartet of Nick Skelton, Ben
Maher, Scott Brash and Peter Charles lie in joint second place with
Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands going into the final day. Saudia
Arabia currently lead. Skelton, who is riding in his sixth Olympics, is
hoping to lead Britain to a first Olympic showjumping medal since 1984.
Great Britain's women face a potentially do-or-die
clash with Olympic champions the
Netherlands.
If China beat Japan in the afternoon, GB will need a draw to reach
the semi-finals. The British won their opening three group matches, but a
shock 2-1 defeat by China means they still have work to do.
