New Zealand's other big medal chance today is in the men's shot put final (2.05pm) where Rio bronze medallist Tom Walsh and fellow Kiwi Jacko Gill will enter the circle. Walsh will be looking for less drama than the qualification stage when he almost failed to register a successful attempt. American defending champion and world record holder Ryan Crouser heads into the event as the favourite.

In other events, Lydia Ko has her second round in the women's golf event, Andrea Anacan competes in the women's Kata as karate makes its Olympic debut, Nick Willis looks to make another 1500m final at the velodrome the quest for a medal continues with Campbell Stewart in the Omnium, Sam Webster in the men's sprint and Ellesse Andrews in the women's Keirin - the only event where medals will be decided today.
