Clare Balding presents live coverage from the velodrome, including the men's team sprint and men's and women's individual pursuit. Britain look to improve on their World Championship silver won in 2007 and 2008 in the men's sprint, with Ross Edgar, Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff. World and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins starts his campaign in the men's pursuit, as does Rebecca Romero in the women's. The women's 50m freestyle, men's 1,500m freestyle and men's and women's 4x100m heats are the main events in the pool, with Fran Halsall going for GB in the 50m. Plus, coverage of the medal stages of the men's individual archery, Karina Bryant in the women's +78kg judo category and the opening races in the Star and Tornado sailing classes. Leigh McMillan and Will Howden and Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson bear the weight of British expectation in these.
