Bolt is to make his first appearance at Rio this afternoon in the men's 100m heats, while Jessica Ennis-Hill will continue the heptathlon with the long jump after finishing Friday's events in the lead.

British rowers will be hoping for a podium finish in both the women's and men's eight finals and medals are also up for grabs in the cycling women's team pursuit and keirin, featuring Team GB's Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell.

Andy Murray continues his defence against Kei Nishikori in the tennis semi-finals, and will next face Rafael Nadal or Juan Martin Del Potro in the gold medal match if he emerges victorious.

Britain's Greg Rutherford will be going for another long jump gold after midnight, and in the early hours of Sunday morning Mo Farah will be running the 10,000m race.

Michael Phelps and Adam Peaty will be swimming in the men's 4x100m medley relay final at around 3am.

Team GB is hoping to add to its haul of gold medals, which put Britain third on the medal table behind only the US and China at the start of Saturday's action.

Like London 2012, history is proving a central theme to the Rio ceremony. First a brief performance representing the country's prehistoric evolution gets underway, charting the lives and discoveries of the region's cavemen (is it politically correct to call them that...?) before zipping forward in time to the 20th century. That's some leap to make but who am I to judge. It's all impressive stuff so far to be fair.

I'll love you and leave you, folks. What a spectacle it's been, from start to finish! I'll leave this here for those of you interested in having a quick nose into the closing ceremony. Night all!
