Golden chance for Ulmer, Faumuina

Sarah Ulmer

New Zealand's push for gold should gain some momentum today with big hopes Sarah Ulmer and Beatrice Faumuina in action.

Ulmer's much-heralded switch from track to road will attract plenty of interest as she spearheads New Zealand's three-pronged attack in the 25km individual time trial. She is backed by Ali Shanks and Melissa Holt.

Without a qualifying competition, Faumuina goes straight into tonight's discus final where she will chase a rare three-peat.

Rebecca Wardell and Sarah Cowley compete in the gruelling heptathlon.

After days of team competition, the badminton and table tennis players are in individual action.

The shooting team have a chance to turn to individual events, with New Zealand's most successful Games medal-winner, Greg Yelavich, competing in the 50m pistol.

The women's hockey team meet England in a game which they need to win to avoid Australia in the semifinals.

The swimmers face their last day of action with most interest on Helen Norfolk in the 400m individual medley and the two medley relay teams.

Provided he stays injury-free, Grant Cavit rates a chance in weightlifting's 94kg class, in which he is ranked in the top three.
