After the medal wave of the last three days at the Paris Olympics, The NZ Team will get somewhat of a breather on Day 9.


Road cyclists Kim Cadzow and Niamh Fisher-Black in the women's road race (12am Monday NZ Time) will be the only Kiwi athletes competing in a medal event on Sunday in Paris with even medal potential.


LATEST HEADLINES:


Golfers Ryan Fox and Daniel Hillier will play in the final round of the men's strokeplay tournament (from 7.22pm NZT), but Fox is high unlikely to medal, while it is almost impossible for Hillier to even get within a sniff.


Shooter Chloe Tipple is also highly unlikely to feature in the women's skeet final after dropping to 28th after day one of qualification, even if she shoots perfect on day two (from 7.30pm NZT).


Canoe slalom paddlers Finn Butcher and Luuka Jones will continue their campaigns in their respective kayak cross events (from 1.30am Monday NZT), while sailors Tom Saunders, Greta Pilkington, Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson will be back on the water in Marseille (from 10.05pm NZT)..


Kitesurfers Lukas Walton-Keim and Justina Kitchen make their first appearances at these Games (from 10.13pm NZT), as does women's hammer thrower Lauren Bruce (from 8.20pm NZT).
