🚴♂️ 1:19am, Track Cycling, Men’s Keirin (Heats)
You’ll see an official bike set the pace in this event, and the race kicks off when it exits the track (kind of like a pace car in F1).

🏃♂️4:15am: Women’s 1500m (Final 🥇)
Jess Hull looked comfortable in her heat and has shown form in recent events, proving she can win a medal in this event. It will be one of Australia’s best medal chances of the day.
🏃♂️5:00am: Men’s 4x400m relay (Final 🥇)
There’s nothing quite like a relay, whether it’s in the pool or on the track. The 4x400m is one of the most prized races in athletics, and the U.S. will be looking to continue their dominance in the men’s discipline, perhaps even beating their 1993 World Record.
