The Gold Medals will be finalised on Sunday and Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele are 21/10 and 16/10 with Fleetwood 11/2.

Lotte Kopecky is the 2/1 favourite for the Women’s Road Race which if the Men’s race is anything to go by should be difficult to control and very exciting.

SUNDAYS PLAY OF THE DAY
I am looking to the 100m and while hoping for a South African podium I think Tebogo is the more likely to grab a medal.
Tebogo to Medal in Men’s 100m at 11/4
