OLYMPIC ACTION TO WATCH ON DAY 14:
Seven events/races for medals are taking place in Athletics on Friday. There has been tremendous excitment from the track in Beijing. The 4x100m men's final will be taking place live at 14:20(GMT). It's unfortunate that the defending Olympic champs, Great Britain, were disqualified for a bad baton exchange during Thursday's preliminary race. After the Jamaican dominance in sprinting, they are the obvious favorites.
There are some big semi-final matches in team sports. The men will take the courts in basketball and volleyball. The US plays Russia in volleyball, and Argentina in basketball. Both are expected to be great contests.

Athletics(7), Modern Pentathlon(1), Beach Volleyball(1), Cycling(Mountain Bike)(1), Hockey(1), Table Tennis(1), Taekwondo(2), and Kayak(Flatwater)(6)
