Easy to lose track of the Olympics with so much going on so daily I'll compose a handy little guide to help people know when the golds will be decided.

Day 3: Monday, 8 August

Gold medals - 14 in total

02:03 - 02:08: Swimming (Women's 100m Butterfly Final)
02:53 - 02:58: Swimming (Men's 100m Breaststroke Final)
03:01 - 03:09: Swimming (Women's 400m Freestyle Final)

16:00 - 16:30: Shooting (10m Air Rifle Men's Finals)
19:25 - 20:00: Shooting (Trap Men's Gold Medal Match)
19:30 - 21:10: Weightlifting (Women's 58kg Group A)
20:00 - 21:00: Diving (men's 10m synchro)
20:00 - 22:45: Gymnastics (men's team)

21:01 - 21:08: Judo (men's 73kg)
21:15 - 21:45: Fencing (women's sabre)
23:00 - 23:16: Rugby sevens (women)
23:00 - 00:40: Weightlifting (Men's 62kg Group A)

Highlights

The men's team gymnastics final, which takes place from 20:00, will have to go some way to outdo London 2012's final for drama. Four years ago, a judges' video review of the very last routine saw Japan elevated above hosts Britain for silver while China took gold.

James Guy will be seeking to add to Great Britain's medal haul in the pool. He won the 200m freestyle world title in Russia last year as a 19-year-old, setting a national record as he beat China's Sun Yang. However, the Olympic final (02:21 Tuesday) could be even tougher: Frenchman Yannick Agnel, who won the London 2012 title, missed the 2015 World Championships through illness but returns for Rio. Germany's Paul Biedermann and America's Conor Dwyer could also challenge.

The first Olympic rugby sevens final will be held from 23:00 as the women's contest reaches its climax. Australia won the last women's world series and reached the final in four out of the series' five rounds, while Great Britain will face New Zealand - champions in each of the previous three years - in the semi-finals.

Britain's Tom Daley is set to make his first appearance of Rio 2016 in the men's 10m synchro diving competition, which begins at 20:00. Daley, now 22, is far better-known for his individual exploits at the Olympics - including bronze at London 2012 - but he and new synchro partner Dan Goodfellow took European silver in May of this year.

Day 4: Tuesday, 9 August

Gold medals - 15 in total

02:21 - 02:27: Swimming (Men's 200m Freestyle Final)
02:30 - 02:35: Swimming (Women's 100m Backstroke Final)
02:38 - 02:43: Swimming (Men's 100m Backstroke Final)

21:45 - 22:15: Fencing (Men's Épée Individual Gold Medal Bout)
23:00 - 00:40: Weightlifting (Men's 69kg Group A)

Highlights

The women's team gymnastics final (from 20:00) is one of the Olympics' biggest draws, particularly in the United States, who won gold at London 2012 and both subsequent world titles. Simone Biles, 19, is the star of the US team and tipped by many to become a face of the Rio Games, while both Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas return for a second Olympics. Britain picked up world bronze last year.

Can Britain's swimmers repeat one of 2015's great sporting upsets? Find out late on Tuesday (03:38 Wednesday, UK time) in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay. Last year, James Guy made up a 1.63-second deficit in the final leg to overhaul the US and give Britain world gold, ending a streak of five consecutive world titles in the event for America.

David Florence won gold in canoe slalom's C1 event at both the 2013 and 2015 world championships - and Tuesday (from 17:30) could be the day he converts that into his first Olympic title. Twice a silver medallist on the ultimate stage, the Scot will celebrate his 34th birthday the day before Rio's C1 final.

Britain will be hoping for medals when eventing reaches its showjumping climax from 14:00. William Fox-Pitt has recovered from a fall and subsequent induced coma in time to compete in Rio with top horse Chilli Morning. However, Germany are the favourites to win both individual and team gold having done so at London 2012 and the 2014 World Equestrian Games.

Good idea CADS.

Nice, CADS.

Nice idea. Perhaps include the early morning stuff below the last entry? Even though technically it's a different day it's the same session. For instance, in the early hours today we have

02:19 - 02:25 Women's 200m Freestyle Final
02:28 - 02:34 Men's 200m Butterfly Final
03:29 - 03:35 Women's 200m Individual Medley Final
03:38 - 03:50 Men's 4 x 200m Freestyle Relay Final

Highlights

Road cycling's time trials begin at 12:30, seeing athletes compete one after the other to set the fastest time over a course stretching for 30km (women) or 55km (men). Similarly to the road race, the time trial circuit is forecast to favour climbers and again, GB's Chris Froome is among the contenders for men's gold. The Netherlands' Tom Dumoulin and Germany's Tony Martin are also popular picks. Female riders expected to fight for gold include Dutch star Ellen van Dijk and New Zealand's world champion Linda Villumsen.

Andrew Willis leads British hopes in the pool, competing in a 200m breaststroke event (final: 02:03 Thursday) that has produced heaps of GB success in recent years. Michael Jamieson won silver over this distance at London 2012 but failed to qualify for Rio, while Ross Murdoch won the 2014 Commonwealth and 2016 European titles yet could not qualify at Britain's Olympic trials. Willis is fourth-fastest in the world this year.

Japanese gymnast Kohei Uchimura has 10 world titles to his name, including every individual all-around gold medal since 2009, and he's still just 27 years old. Can he retain his Olympic all-around title from London 2012? Find out from 20:00 onward. British hopes lie primarily with Max Whitlock, the 2014 world silver medallist.

Rowing's first finals take place on Wednesday, including men's and women's quadruple sculls (from 14:10). Earlier, the day's semi-finals are likely to feature the British women's pair, men's four and women's lightweight double - all boats that won gold in 2012.

Why are all the shit events at more sensible times, and the swimming finals etc at daft o'clock?

03:18 - 03:23: Swimming (Women's 100m Freestyle Final)

Highlights

Track cycling begins at 20:00 inside Rio's Velodrome - one of the last 2016 venues to be completed. Britain is known as a track cycling powerhouse and London 2012 provided nine British medals. GB's riders made up for a disappointing 2015 world championships by topping the medal table at 2016's Worlds at the London Olympic Velodrome.

The finale of the women's all-around contest gets under way from 20:00. Athletes win medals based on their overall score after performances on the floor, vault, beam and uneven bars. America's Gabby Douglas edged out Russia's Viktoria Komova for gold four years ago and is on the US team again in 2016. But all eyes will be on younger team-mate Simone Biles - winner of the past three world titles.

Katherine Grainger won gold in the double sculls with Anna Watkins at London 2012 but, four years later, was initially left off the GB team for Rio. Now reinstated alongside Victoria Thornley in the same boat, the 40-year-old Scot will be going for her fifth Olympic medal. She would become Britain's most-decorated female Olympian if it happens. The final begins at 12:40.

A one-two in slalom canoe's C2 category was one of Team GB's greatest moments of London 2012. Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott produced a shock to bring home gold; with fellow Britons David Florence and Richard Hounslow taking silver at the Lee Valley course. Baillie has since retired while Stott has struggled with injury, so Florence and Hounslow will be GB's only C2 entry in Rio. The C2 final starts at 18:15 with the women's K1 final, potentially featuring GB's Fiona Pennie, at 19:00.

02:20 - 02:33: Swimming (Women's 800m Freestyle Final)
02:44 - 02:48: Swimming (Men's 50m Freestyle Final)

Highlights

At the velodrome, the men's team pursuit medals will be decided from 22:20. In recent years, this has more often than not become a contest between Britain and Australia for gold. GB took the title in 2012 and two of the team's riders, Ed Clancy and Steven Burke, return for 2016 while Bradley Wiggins returns from the road.

Jessica Ennis-Hill's defence of her heptathlon title begins at 13:35 with the first of her seven events, the 100m hurdles. Ennis-Hill and GB team-mate Katarina Johnson-Thompson will complete four of heptathlon's seven events on the first day of athletics in Rio's Olympic Stadium: also today are the high jump (from 14:50), shot put (00:35 Saturday) and 200m (02:05 Saturday).

Katie Ledecky's signature event, the women's 800m freestyle, reaches its climax at Rio's Aquatics Centre (02:20 Saturday). As a 15-year-old, the American blew past Britain's Rebecca Adlington to win gold in this event at London 2012 and she has dominated it since. A clearer favourite in any Rio event is hard to find. World bronze medallist Jazz Carlin will hope to reach the podium for GB. Meanwhile, Michael Phelps and Chad le Clos could once again go head-to-head in the final of the men's 100m butterfly (02:12 Saturday).

British rowers could have a series of shots at gold on Friday (from 13:30), led by Helen Glover and Heather Stanning as they defend their Olympic pairs title. Both lightweight double sculls crews are world silver medallists, while the men's coxless four finished third in the world last year.

02:50 - 03:26: Athletics (Women's Heptathlon 800m)
03:04 - 03:16: Swimming (Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay Final)

Highlights

On the evening of 'Super Saturday' - 4 August, 2012 - Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis-Hill all won gold in a defining, deafening hour of Olympic success for the host nation. If that's going to happen again in Rio, tonight is the night - the long jump starts at 00:53 on Sunday, Farah's 10,000m follows at 01:27 and the heptathlon's 800m finale is at 02:50. Ennis-Hill leads the standings after day one and one of her main challenges should come from British team-mate Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who is fourth after day one.

And that's not all on the track. You may have heard a lot about trebles when it comes to Usain Bolt, but there's one person who could beat him to three straight Olympic 100m titles: Jamaican team-mate Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The 29-year-old Beijing and London champion has struggled with a toe injury but is still expected to be on the start line for the final (02:37 Sunday). The field should be full of gold medal contenders: Dutch sensation Dafne Schippers, another Jamaican in Elaine Thompson and Americans Tori Bowie and English Gardner.

Britain's women are in the spotlight at the velodrome on Saturday (morning session from 14:00 BST, evening session from 20:00). The women's team pursuit was a nailed-on British gold medal at London 2012 and set a world record in their qualifying ride in Rio. They will now meet Canada, runners-up at the 2015 World Championships, for a place in the gold-medal race. In the same session, 2013 world champion Becky James will hope for a medal in the keirin - the race where a motorbike acts as pacesetter before pulling away for the dramatic final laps.

Highlights

Usain Bolt is in line to compete for his third Olympic 100m title in a row (semi-finals from 01:00 Monday, final at 02:25). The Jamaican suffered a hamstring injury at the end of June but proved his fitness by powering to 200m victory at the London Anniversary Games in July. American Justin Gatlin is quickest so far this year in the 100m (in 9.80 seconds) and the 34-year-old American is one of the favourites for gold.

At the Velodrome, the men's sprint final (from 21:04) features Britain's Jason Kenny - winner of the London 2012 title - against team-mate Callum Skinner. Kenny, 28, has been relatively quiet since London but roared back into contention with this year's world sprint title.

The pommel horse had not held much interest for British fans until success in 2012. That was when Louis Smith took silver and was part of the team that claimed bronze in London. Smith won world silver last year in Glasgow with team-mate Max Whitlock taking gold, and both feature in Rio alongside a stacked field. The final starts at 19:29. Earlier, from 18:00, Whitlock, who has already claimed bronze in the all-around, will also contend for gold in the men's floor event having won world silver last year. Japan's Kenzo Shirai is the man to beat.

From 16:00, Olympic tennis concludes with a string of medals. GB's Andy Murray will be defending his London 2012 title at 19:00, while there will be a new gold medal pair in the women's doubles, with holders Serena and Venus Williams already out.

Not staying up for the 100m. **** that.

I'll be recording it.

Justin Rose should have found a spot in your highlights. Good chance of winning gold.

Looking like either him or Stenson.

When do the leaders start their final round?

Don't know. Can't be arsed watching. Shouldn't be in the Olympics.

Says I should put it in my highlights then admits he's not actually arsed about it. You flip-flopper you.

You could get your wish, don't think golf will be in the 2024 Olympics if the top players don't take it more seriously next time.

They should have all pulled out and allowed 60 amateurs to take part.

But after an attempt at the Beijing Olympics went awry, Mark Cavendish still has no Olympic medal to his name. The Manxman, 31, is expected to ride in the Rio omnium - a collection of six cycling events designed to establish an all-round champion. The omnium concludes with the points race at 21:23.

Christine Ohuruogu has a habit of pulling out Olympic medal-winning performances when it matters: she registered a stunning victory at Beijing 2008 then picked up silver in London four years later. Now 32, she's back in the GB team for Rio having won the 2013 world title - but America's Allyson Felix could be a better bet for 400m gold (race from 02:45 Tuesday), particularly as this is her only individual event having failed to qualify for the 200m. Bahamas sprinter Shaunae Miller is second-fastest in the world behind Felix this year, while South Africa's Caster Semenya has voiced an ambition to win this race as part of a Rio 400-800 double.

Poland's Anita Wlodarczyk looks indomitable in the women's hammer (from 14:40), particularly given the doping crises hanging over Russian rivals. Wlodarczyk, London's silver medallist, holds the world title and world record of 81.08m. Poignantly, she throws using a glove that belonged to close friend and fellow hammer thrower Kamila Skolimowska, who died in 2009 after winning gold as a 17-year-old at Sydney 2000. Men's pole vault (00:35 Tuesday) is a chance to see exciting French star Renaud Lavillenie in action, although the reigning world champion is Canada's Shawn Barber.

Highlights

It's the final day of track cycling for another Olympics, but the last night of action promises plenty: gold medals are on the line in men's keirin, the women's omnium and women's sprint (session starts at 14:00). Laura Trott is the big name to watch in the omnium, where she is usually challenged by US rider Sarah Hammer and Australia's Annette Edmondson. Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner are in the men's keirin while Becky James and Katy Marchant go in the women's sprint.

Artistic gymnastics concludes from 18:00 with the women's floor, men's parallel bars and men's high bar. The floor event looks set to be another chance for America's Simone Biles to assert her dominance after already winning two golds in Rio, while the men's high bar is the traditional domain of flamboyant Dutchman Epke Zonderland - whose London 2012 routine was a highlight of the Games. Zonderland has won two out of three world titles since.

Christian Taylor is out on his own so far this year in triple jump, more than 10cm clear of compatriot Will Claye in 2016's longest marks to date. They were the gold and silver medallists respectively in London and Taylor is the reigning world champion. French former world champion Teddy Tamgho, who withdrew from London 2012 after ankle surgery, misses Rio (final from 13:50) with a broken leg picked up at France's Olympic trials.

03:59 - 04:49: Beach Volleyball (Women's Beach Volleyball Gold Medal Match)

Highlights

Women's long jump could be a sensational contest (from 01:15 Thursday). Brittney Reese sealed her Rio place by leaping to 7.31m at US Olympic trials - the farthest any woman has jumped since 2004. Reese won gold in London with just 7.12m by comparison, while she'll face competition in Rio from team-mate Tianna Bartoletta (whose two world titles were won a decade apart, in 2005 and 2015). Step forward, too, Shara Proctor. The Briton, ninth at London 2012, was last year's world silver medallist while Jazmin Sawyers and Lorraine Ugen complete a strong GB line-up.

The women's 200m final (02:30 Thursday) could feature GB's Dina Asher-Smith and Jodie Williams. Asher-Smith is the new European champion and was a trackside kit-carrier during Britain's famous Super Saturday at London 2012, watching Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah win gold. The Netherlands' Dafne Schippers is a major contender for 200m gold, as are Tori Bowie for the US and Veronica Campbell-Brown for Jamaica.

Ever since Brazil was awarded the 2016 Olympics, beach volleyball has been waiting for its chance to shine on Rio's sand. Brazilians love the sport and are remarkably successful at it: since beach volleyball's Olympic debut in 1996, Brazilians have appeared in seven of the 10 Olympic finals. However, you'll need to wait until late in the night to see if the hosts reach this year's women's final on Copacabana Beach - it isn't set to start until 04:00 on Thursday UK time. For the US, three-time Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings is back for Rio and hotly tipped to contend for gold. No Britons qualified.

03:59 - 04:49: Beach Volleyball (Men's Beach Volleyball Gold Medal Match - ITA V BRZ)

Highlights

Rio's triathlon course involves an ocean swim off Copacabana beach followed by a hill to be tackled eight times on the bike and a hot, flat run to finish. Britain's Brownlee brothers, London Olympic champion Alistair and bronze medallist Jonny, have had their chances boosted by the withdrawal of their main threat: Spain's Javier Gomez is out with a broken arm. But while Gomez is missing, compatriot Mario Mola is one of several rivals who could still beat either Brownlee to gold. The race begins at 15:00.

Usain Bolt should be back for the men's 200m final (02:30 Friday). This is the second of three events Bolt needs to win to complete his planned "treble treble" of Olympic titles, although his 2008 relay gold medal is in some jeopardy following a positive retest of Jamaican team-mate Nesta Carter's sample from those Games. Bolt, however, will keep his mind occupied with another task he has set himself: running sub-19 seconds in this race.

Britain's first Olympic taekwondo champion returns for more in Rio on Thursday. Flint's Jade Jones was the Youth Olympic champion and still a teenager when won gold in the women's -57kg category at London 2012. Four years later, Jones has added two European titles and is the world number one for her weight. The evening session begins at 00:00 on Friday UK time.

The USA's Ashton Eaton will try to emulate Daley Thompson as the men's decathlon concludes with the 1500m finale (from 01:45 Friday). Thompson won back-to-back decathlon titles at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics - Eaton, the London 2012 champion, holds the world record and world title heading to Rio. While his score at US Olympic trials was some way off his record, it remained higher than the career best of any rival.

02:35 - 02:36: Athletics (Men's 4 x 100m Relay Final)

Highlights

By the time we reach the men's 4x100m relay final (02:35 Saturday), either Usain Bolt is preparing for the last missing piece of his treble treble, or Bolt is seeking redemption having finally been knocked off his perch by a rival in 200m. Whatever happens, it is expected to be his last Olympic outing and guaranteed to be worth watching. Not so long ago, at Athens 2004, Britain's men won this event - but in recent years GB quartets have had trouble getting the baton safely home.

Even if the men's 4x100m relay disappoints, the women's relay (slightly earlier, at 02:15 Saturday) is set up to be a blockbuster. In 2012, the US broke the world record to beat Jamaica to gold. Three years later, the Jamaicans set a national record to hit back and beat the Americans to the world title. By this point in the Olympics, both relay teams could read like a who's who of Rio sprint medallists.

Great Britain's women's hockey team are guaranteed another Olympic medal and go for gold as they face defending champions Netherlands in the final (21:00). Captained by Kate Richardson-Walsh, they've won all seven of their matches in Rio and reached their first final with a superb 3-0 win over New Zealand in the semi-finals. The women's team, who won bronze in London 2012, will now be hoping to emulate the men's side that memorably won gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

02:35 - 02:38: Athletics (Men's 4 x 400m Relay Final)

Highlights

There's little doubt about the highlight for the hosts: the men's football final takes place at 21:30 and Brazil will be seeking redemption against Germany for their 7-1 World Cup defeat in 2014. Rules on age mean this won't be the Brazil team many people know, as all but three of the squad must be under the age of 23 - but big names like Neymar still feature. Brazil were silver medallists behind Mexico at London 2012 and have never won this event at the Olympics.

The penultimate day of the Olympics brings Tom Daley another chance to shine (from 20:30). Daley, 22, topped the qualification standings in the men's 10m platform dive - an event in which he won bronze at London 2012 and again at last year's World Championships. He finished this year's Diving World Series second in the world behind China's Chen Aisen, with American David Boudia a close third. Daley has already picked up a bronze in the 10m syncro alongside Dan Goodfellow.

Mo Farah is one of two Britons in the men's 5,000m final (01:30 Sunday) alongside Andrew Butchart as he seeks to repeat the 5,000m/10,000m double achieved at London 2012. Also in the race is 41-year-old Bernard Lagat, who won the US Olympic trial for this event.

Nicola Adams became the world's first female Olympic boxing champion with flyweight victory at London 2012, but the 33-year-old was missing a world title until May this year - when she beat Thailand's Peamwilai Laopeam, adding world gold to her collection. However, no British boxer since 1924 has successfully defended an Olympic title. The women's flyweight final starts at 18:00.

Such is the strength of British women's triathlon that the world number three, Jodie Stimpson, will not be on the Rio start line. Non Stanford, Vicky Holland and Helen Jenkins - each winners on the World Series circuit - wrapped up Team GB's three quota places for the Rio Games. Star names so far this season include New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt and Bermuda's Flora Duffy, but American 30-year-old Gwen Jorgensen may be the favourite: she went unbeaten in a dozen races during the build-up to Rio.

On a packed day with more than 30 Olympic titles on offer, athletics inside Rio's Olympic Stadium concludes with the men's and women's 4x400m relays from 02:00 Sunday UK time.

19:45 - 21:30: Basketball (Men's Gold Medal Game - SER V US)

Highlights

Rio's final morning is dominated by one of the Games' most gruelling events: the men's marathon (from 13:30). Team GB are represented by Scottish brothers Derek and Callum Hawkins alongside Tsegai Tewelde, a 26-year-old born in Eritrea before seeking asylum in Edinburgh nine years ago. Tewelde says the scar on his forehead comes from a land mine explosion that killed a friend and left him injured as an eight-year-old.

Team USA will expect to win gold in men's basketball (19:45) despite a lengthy list of absentees for the Rio tournament. Some American reports say this is the weakest Olympic team since Athens 2004, where the US struggled to an uncharacteristic bronze medal - but the national team has not been beaten since 2006.

There aren't many chances for British medals on the last day of the Games, but men's super-heavyweight Joe Joyce fights France's Tony Yoka, who beat him in last year's World Championship semi-final, in the gold-medal match at 19:15.
