Britain go into the final day of the Games with a haul of 63 medals – just two short of their 65 haul at London 2012.

Here, the PA news agency looks at where any last-day medals might come from.

Lauren Price will be gunning for gold in her women’s middleweight final against China’s Li Qian at the Kokugikan Arena.

Galal Yafai struck gold on Saturday in the men’s flyweight final and Price has the chance to deliver a second gold for the British team.

Price’s medal will be Britain’s sixth of the Games following Yafai’s gold, silvers for Pat McCormack (welterweight) and Ben Whittaker (light-heavyweight) and bronze medals for Frazer Clarke (super-heavyweight) and Karriss Artingstall (featherweight).

Laura Kenny will be looking to wrap up her Games with a second gold in Tokyo when she goes in the women’s omnium.

Kenny already has a Tokyo gold medal to her name, having won the women’s Madison with Katie Archibald, as well as a silver medal via the women’s team pursuit.

Now she will be aiming for what would be her sixth Olympic gold medal, the five she already has making her Britain’s most successful female Olympian.

There is a further British medal chance in the velodrome on Sunday with Kenny’s husband Jason and Jack Carlin competing in the men’s keirin.
