Linda Villumsen begins the day's action for New Zealand in the women's individual time trial in road cycling.
It is Villumsen's favoured event, last year she won gold at the UCI Road World Championships and is a strong medal contender in tonight's race at 11.30pm.
New Zealand's rowers are back in action around the same time, the women's pair of Rebecca Scown and Genevieve Behrent kick off the evening's racing in the semifinals, and are a strong chance at taking out a medal to add to Scown's bronze in London.

Sam Meech is a strong medal hopeful in the men's Laser while Polly Powrie and Jo Aleh are looking to win back-to-back golds in the women's 470 class which gets underway from 4am.
Back on land the New Zealand hockey teams continue with their pool matches - the women take on Spain at 1am while the men play Brazil at 10.30am.
Both teams need wins over their lower ranked opponents to keep their medal chances alive.
