OLYMPICS LONDON 2012: Games day 11 in pictures

Posted: Monday 6th August 2012 | 9:11

By Sportsbeat, London 2012

A GREAT weekend for Team GB is over but the Olympic action continues on day 11 and there are plenty more medal chances.

Great Britain's best chance of such a feat will be in the Velodrome where Jason Kenny goes for gold in the men's individual sprint.

Beth Tweddle will be hoping that home advantage in the North Greenwich Arena will help her medal in the uneven bars this afternoon and in the Olympic Stadium Dai Greene will attempt to improve on his semi-final performance in the 400m hurdles final.

Holly Bleasdale is also a contender for a medal in the pole vault final.


GUARANTEED: Anthony Ogogo will leave the Games with a medal after reaching semi-finals
