Olympics: Ciara Peelo, who carried the Irish flag at the opening ceremony, gets her Olympic campaign under way at 6am (Irish time) when she takes to the water in the women's laser redial series.

Gerald Owens and Philip Lawton are the next Irish competitors in action from 7am for their opening race in the men's 470 class.

Elsewehre Eoin Rheinisch's Olympic dream is still alive after he scraped into the slalom K1 semi-finals. Rheinisch profited from a catastrophic error by America's Scott Parsons to claim the 15th and final spot in the next round.

Ranked 15th in the world Rheinisch is the first semi-finalist into the water at 8.40am Irish time. The K1 men's final is due to take place later in the day but the official start time has yet to be confirmed.
