What time are the enormous occasions?

Rio is four hours behind the UK and the vast majority of the gold decoration occasions will be late night/early morning so be set up to end up a night owl or a go-fetter.

England's first gold award could go to Chris Froome or Lizzie Armitstead as they go in the men's and ladies' street race on Saturday and Sunday.

Swimming overwhelms the early part of the Games with the olympic style sports occasions beginning on Friday, 12 August.

The highlight of the activity inside the Olympic Stadium is the men's 100m last at 02:25 BST on Monday, 15 August, so set your wake up timers.

Saturday, 13 August sees a potential London 2012 'Super Saturday' rehash, with Ennis-Hill in the heptathlon, Farah in the 10,000m and Greg Rutherford in the long bounce.
