London 2012 Olympic Games: 11 August - what's on today:
Mo Farah must beware Kenenisa Bekele in the 5,000m final and it's Tom Daley's chance to deliver
Please note all times are in BST (EDT+5)
A three o'clock Saturday kick-off is a rare thing in football these days. A cup final, even more so. The Brazil v Mexico final is sure to be a sell-out.
Mo Farah, who has already picked up gold for the 10,000m, meets the world record holder and reigning Olympic champion, Kenenisa Bekele in this one.
Britain won gold in this event at the world indoors in March but outdoors USA, Jamaica and Russia are formidable foes. Any medal would be a fine achievement.
USA will be desperate to atone for dropping the baton in the world championships in 2011, where the Jamaican team, anchored by Usain Bolt, clocked a new world record of 37.04sec.
Tom Daley's form in the individual 10m platform has been up and down over the past year.
• Niki Bakoyianni holds the biggest women's outdoor high jump differential. She's 5ft 7in but leapt 6ft 8in, 1ft 1in above her height.
• 8.7: The average speed in mph of the men's world record time for 50km, 3:34:14.
