14.30 Handball
The Croatian handball team plays its first group stage match against Qatar at 14.30. “The Cowboys” are considered favorites for the win, but first games in big competitions are usually tight, so there is no place for compacency for the Croatian team.
14.45 Gymnastics
Filip Ude failed to qualify for the finals in pommel horse discipline yesterday, and today the youngster Ana Đerek starts her qualifications in the individual all-around discipline.
18.00 Swimming
Matea Samardžić set the new Croatian record in 400 meters medley discipline yesterday, but it was not enough to get to the finals and today, she will try to qualify there in her stronger discipline, 100 meters backstroke.
24.00 Basketball
In a late evening, Croatian basketball team is returning to the Olympics after eight years of absence, and it is a tough task for them. They will meet Spain in the first round of the group stage. Spain is considered the favorite for the win tonight, but so were Greece and Italy a few weeks ago, and yet, the Croatian team is in Rio today.
TCN will bring you the scores of the Croatian athletes as they finish their performances.
