The single scullers return with Emma Twigg and Mackintosh in quarter-final action while double sculls teams Lucy Spoors and Brooke in the women’s, Francis and men Robbie Manson and Jordan Parry look to book final spots with semifinal races tonight.
It could be a busy day in the pool with Lewis Clareburt in the 200m butterfly men’s heats in the morning following by a possible semifinal in the night session local time. The same goes for 100m freestyle swimmer Cameron Gray while Eve Thomas has a 1500m freestyle heat.
The Black Sticks men face Argentina at 3am in a pool game which is nearing ‘must-win-territory after losing their first two matches. The Oly Whites do need a result against France to have any hope of making the knockout round.
The sailors will continue in Marseille, where there hasn’t been that much wind. Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie will look to retain their spot at the top of the 49er class while Jo Aleh and Molly Meech need some big results in the 49erFX to stay in the hunt for a medal.
Josh Armit and Veerle ten Have might have busy days in the windsurfing after only getting a handful of races in over the last few days.
Finn Butcher lines up in the men’s kayak slalom with the top 20 advancing to the semifinals.
Men’s trap shooter Owen Robinson needs to likely go perfect in his remaining two rounds to make the final, where just six compete for the medals. Robinson shot 71/75 from his opening three rounds to sit in 19th place
New Zealand’s medal chances on day four
Defending champions the Black Ferns Sevens face USA at 1.30am for a spot in the gold final at 5.45am. Should they suffer an upset they’ll still be a strong chance for bronze at least at 5am.
