Stephanie Meadow and Leona Maguire both have ground to make up in the final round of the women's individual strokeplay golf in the early hours of Saturday morning.
With a storm forecast for Saturday still threatening to finish the tournament after just three rounds, Meadow is currently seven under par and in a tie for 10th. She’s three shots behind the bronze medal places.
Leona Maguire is five under par overall and in a tie for 18th, 10 shots off leader Nelly Korda of Team USA.
Mark Downey and Felix English compete in the men's madison - a 50km track cycling relay event - at 8.55am.
Later on Saturday night Stephen Scullion, Paul Pollock and Kevin Seaward will run the men's marathon for Team Ireland at 11pm. Scullion is the reigning national marathon champion from 2019, that being the last edition of the Dublin Marathon where Scullion finished second outright with his 2:12:01, the then fastest time by any Irish man in 17 years. This will be Pollock's second Olympic marathon, finishing 32nd in Rio. Seaward was also a runner in the Rio Olympic marathon, finishing in 64th place.
