The 35-year-old warned his rivals to not make him angry after ganging up him to report a penalty, and the sailing superstar reacted by all but sealing his fourth gold medal.

On the track, local girl and defending champion Christine Ohurugou will look to defend her 400m title and Dai Greene will try to upset the odds in the 400m hurdles.

Vicky Pendleton races in the women's sprints qualifying as she aims to progress to the afternoons quarter-finals and keep her hopes of another gold medal alive. In the men's spirits quarter-finals, Jason Kenny will be hoping for similar success.

11.00 EQUESTRIAN - Nick Skelton, Ben Maher and Scott Brash jump in round two of the jumping individual qualifying, as well as riding for Great Britain in the team event.

At 13.00, Team GB are guaranteed a medal in the star men medal race after their strong performances so far and there is another chance of silverware when Ben Ainslie sails in the finn men medal race at 14.00.

Also in action are Great Britain's women in the 470 race five and Nick Dempsey sails in the RS:X men's race nine and ten.

13.25 Onwards BOXING - Natasha Jonas fights against Quanitta Underwood in the women's light (60kg) round of 16 and a victory would see her take on top seed Ireland's Katie Taylor in the top round.

19.00 Onwards ATHLETICS - The Olympic Stadium will no doubt be packed to the rafters again as Edith Child and Perri-Shakes Drayton run in the women's 400m hurdles first round, the women's triple jump final features Brit Yamile Aldama, and Alexander Smith competes in the men's hammer throw final.

Representing the home nation slightly later on are Robert Grabarz in the men's high jump qualifying round and after qualifying yesterday James Dasaolu, Dwain Chambers and Adam Gemili will all run in the 100m semi-finals.

Ross Murray and Andrew Baddeley will compete in the 1500m semi-finals and Conrad Williams, Nigel Levine and Martyn Rooney are looking to progress from the 400 semi-finals.

Greene, who just scraped into the 400m hurdles final, will be looking for a better time as he looks to fulfil his potential.

Defending women's 400m champion Ohurugou will have it all to do to retain her title as she will be drawn in an outside lane after qualifying seventh.

22.15 BASKETBALL - In their final women's preliminary round Group B match, Great Britain take on Brazil as they continue to chase their first victory after a close 80-77 loss to France last time out.
