It's Ariarne Titmus versus Katie Ledecky 3.0, while Ash Barty and John Peers will be playing for bronze in the tennis mixed doubles. Here are the Olympic events to watch out for on day 8.
The first Saturday at the Tokyo Olympics represents a high point for a certain type of event at the Olympic Games — the mixed event.
There are also a select number of open events at the Olympics, where athletes from any gender can compete freely. In 1992, Chinese shooter Zhang Shan won gold in the Skeet, racking up an Olympic record along the way. This meant that the first medals were won in women's rowing events by males, Kiwi Caleb Shepherd and China's Zhang Dechang, in the women's eight on Friday.
