As the 2016 Olympic Games passes its halfway point, Denmark has accumulated seven medals and the nation’s 10-medal goal is looking promising.

With a bit of luck, the Danes could very well get another medal or two today with Lasse Norman Hansen finishing up in the omnium and Anne-Marie Rindom sitting second before the final medal race in the women’s laser radial.

Elsewhere, Denmark’s two top badminton men, Viktor Axelsen and Jan Ø Jørgensen, are eyeing a quarter-final birth in the singles, while gold medal favourite Rene Holten Poulsen will hit the water for the first time in the kayak men’s singles 1,000m sprint.

Today’s medal events include:

15:40 – Athletics: women’s hammer throw final

16:15 – Athletics: women’s 3,000m steeplechase final

22:00 – Wrestling: men’s Greco-Roman 85kg + 130kg finals

00:15 – Boxing: men’s 91kg heavy final

01:35 – Athletics: men’s pole vault final
