Today at the Games:
All eyes will be on Usain Bolt (Jamaica) once again when he bids to complete another Olympic sprint double by winning the men's 200m final. He is again up against fellow Countryman Yohan "the beast" Blake.
The Olympic Stadium also hosts the men's 800m final, when David Rudisha (Kenya) and Abubaker Kaki (Sudan) go head to head, as well as the men's Triple Jump and women's Javelin finals.
Elsewhere, Team GB's Keri-Anne Payne will be aiming for gold at Hyde Park in the women's 10km Swimming Marathon and there are four Canoe Sprint finals at Eton Dorney.
The first women's Boxing finals at an Olympic Games – Fly Weight (51kg), Light Weight (60kg) and Middle Weight (75kg) – take place at ExCeL, before the USA and Japan contest the final of the women's Football competition at Wembley.
