Julian David, men's speed climbing quarterfinals, 10.28pm Thursday
Julian David will go up against world record-holder Sam Watson in the speed climbing quarterfinals.
David's time in the qualifiers was 5.20 seconds, while Watson's was 4.75 seconds - so their race will be lightning fast.
David, a first-time Olympian, earlier told RNZ that the American climber drubbed him in Texas at the youth world competition.
"But I've been following in his footsteps so hopefully I can pull something off. It will take a miracle but we will see what we can do."
Dame Lisa Carrington, Alicia Hoskin, Olivia Brett and Tara Vaughan, women's K4 500m final, 11.40pm Thursday
The New Zealand women's K4 are the reigning world champions over the 500m distance and the favourites for gold in this event.
This final will be Dame Lisa Carrington's first chance for a medal at the Paris Games, and she's hoping to match the triple-gold haul she got at Tokyo.
The men's K4 team is in their semifinal straight afterward, at 11.50pm.
Meanwhile, Max Brown and Grant Clancy are in the B final of the men's C2 event at 11.20pm.
The pair performed so woefully earlier this week that they dropped off the TV coverage entirely as the field moved away, and got sympathetic cheers from the audience.

Ellesse Andrews and Rebecca Petch, women's keirin quarterfinals, 3.18am Friday
Fresh off a silver medal alongside team-mate Shaane Fulton in the sprint relay, Ellesse Andrews and Rebecca Petch are riding for glory again in the women's keirin.
The discipline sees competitors keep pace with a motorised bike for the first three laps, before racing full-tilt for the final three laps.
Andrews - whose father is Olympic cyclist Jon Andrews - won silver in the keirin at Tokyo 2020 and followed that up with three golds at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.
She took the lead early in her heat on Wednesday night and stayed there, and will be one to beat on Friday morning.
Petch came fifth in her heat, but fought her way back and into the quarterfinals in the repechage.
This is her second Olympics after reaching the semi-finals for BMX racing at the Tokyo Games.
