Gold medals will be won in eight sports on Day 12, with the spotlight also shining on a number of our highest-profile Australian athletes, including Steve Hooker.

This session may include:

Athletics – 7pm*
All eyes at the Olympic Stadium will be on the trio of Aussies in the heats of the men’s 5000m. Four-time Olympian Craig Mottram resumes his battle with the mighty Kenyans and Ethiopians. Joining him will be fellow Victorians Collis Birmingham and David McNeill.

Defending Olympic pole vault champ Steve Hooker has struggled to regain his Beijing form but the Aussie is hoping to bounce back to his best here in London. His toughest competition will be from Renaud Lavillenie of France.

The men’s decathlon gets under way, and there are qualifying rounds in the women’s hammer and the women’s 800m.

Equestrian – 9pm*
The world’s best show jumpers tackle the demanding course at the Greenwich Park Equestrian Centre. Australia’s hopes for a first Olympic medal in this sport at these Games rest with world number one Edwina Tops-Alexander. Julia Hargreaves will also compete for Australia.

Sailing
Australia is in an unbeatable position in the men’s 49ers as the event reaches its final race. Skipper Nathan Outteridge and crew Iain Jensen have amassed so many points over the course of their regatta they can’t be beaten and can look forward to having gold medals hung around their necks.
The Aussie duo of Elise Rechichi and Belinda Stowell are in 9th place in the women’s 470 with three races remaining.
In the women’s Elliott 6m event, the Aussie trio of Olivia Price, Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty have performed outstandingly and will compete in the quarter-final phase of their match-race competition.

Canoeing – Sprint
Four gold medals will be decided: three in kayak events and one in a canoe event.
The day opens with the K1 1000m sprint. Murray Stewart has not reached the final but will compete in the B Final.
Australia’s medal hopes rest with Beijing gold medallist Ken Wallace and Dave Smith in the final of the men’s K2 1000m.

Water Polo
It’s quarter-final time in the men’s water polo and Australia face Serbia. It’s a must-win match for the Sharks as they seek to advance to the semi-finals.

Volleyball
The quarter-finals of the men’s volleyball event begin at Earls Court. Four matches will be played today, with reigning Olympic champions the United States and South American powerhouse Brazil among the favourites for medals.

12.00am London Live continues
Ken Sutcliffe takes over to steer viewers through another great session from London 2012.

This session may include:

Athletics – 3am*
A fantastic track and field session offering three more gold medals and the victory ceremony for the new women’s 100m hurdles Olympic champion, Sally Pearson.

Australia’s Jarrod Bannister, a finalist at both the Beijing Olympics and the recent world championships, competes in the qualifying round of the men’s javelin.

Aussies Kaila McKnight and Zoe Buckman line up in the semi-finals of the women’s 1500m.

The decathlon continues with the high jump and 400m, and the women leap for gold in the long jump. Other finals to be raced are the women’s 400m hurdles final and the women’s 200m final.

BMX Cycling
Making its second appearance at the Olympics, the spectacular action of BMX cycling will feature Australians among the medal favourites. Australia secured the maximum number of BMX Olympic quota places. Its two starters in the women’s event will be Caroline Buchanan and Lauren Reynolds and its three men are Brian Kirkham, Sam Willoughby and Khalen Young. Willoughby, the two-time world junior champion, enters as the 2012 world champion, while Buchanan has led the women’s world rankings.

Basketball
The quarter-finals in men’s basketball get underway. The Australia’s men’s basketball team faces the tough task of defeating a powerful United States team. With the US boasting a wealth of stars including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony it will require a huge effort from the Boomers.

Boxing
It’s quarter-final time in the men’s 64kg event and Australia’s Jeff Horn will meet Denys Berinchyk from Ukraine. The winner moves through to the semi-finals, where he is assured of an Olympic medal.

Diving
The women take to the platform for their preliminary dives. Australia’s hopes lie with youngster Brittany Broben and diminutive Melissa Wu, an Olympic silver medallist in Beijing.
Each diver will have five dives with the best 18 advancing to the next round of the event.
