10:03pm - Hockey: Goal Netherlands - Welten scores again - this time from a penalty stroke for an illegal deflection preventing a goal from a Kiwi defender. NED 2-0

9:50pm - Hockey: First quarter done in the hockey and the Kiwis are up against it. Only 1-0 down but all Netherlands in the first 15m.
9:46pm - Equestrian: So NZ has one rider to come (Tim Price), as does Australia, France and Great Britain. The Brits look to have teams gold wrapped up.

9:22pm - Equestrian: Jonelle Price on the course now.
9:20pm - Cycling: New Zealand is done for the night at the velodrome. To recap; the women's pursuit team can still make the bronze medal ride off, but must beat Australia and then hope other results go their way.
The men are in the hunt for the gold medal - if they beat Italy the will ride for gold, if they lose, they need to record one of the top two fastest times from the remaining six teams to make the bronze medal ride off.
9:06pm - Equestrian: Jesse Campbell sitting in sixth spot with 20 of the 51 riders completing their jumps.
8:59pm - Cycling: The Brits record the fourth best time with a 3.47.507 so the Kiwis avoid Denmark in the semi-finals and will race Italy for a spot in the gold medal race.
8:52pm - Equestrian: The great thing about Campbell's run is he only added .40 of a point to New Zealand's overall total. The Kiwis still sit fourth behind Australia, France and Great Britain.
8:51pm - Cycling: The Australian team had a rider crash out after the handle bar snapped on his bike. That puts them out and the Kiwis will ride for a medal tomorrow regardless of how the Brits go in the final run.

8:48pm - Equestrian: Jesse Campbell on Diachello is out in the course.

8:36pm - Cycling: The Kiwis took the lead over the Italians for a couple of laps but fell off at the end. They are second with three teams to come. Their time of 3:46.079 would have broken the old Olympic record that Italy broke a few minutes ago.

7:50pm - Cycling: Great Britain finished second fastest with a laser quick 4.09.022. NZ finishes sixth and will race Australia in the next round. In a convulated system, the Kiwis can still reach the bronze medal ride off if the record one of the best times from the bottom four teams, and the two losing teams in the top four.
7:45pm - Diving: Anton Down-Jenkins 16th after Round 4 with a 252.75 total - good enough tp qualify for the semi-finals if he can hold his spot.
7:44pm - Cycling: The USA knock the Kiwis down to fifth in the women's team pursuit, so New Zealand won't be winning a medal in this event.
7:36pm - Cycling: Canada goes slower than the Kiwis with a 4.15.832. New Zealand still fourth but two quick teams to come.

***
Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Tokyo Olympics, on a day that will witness a slice of history and (hopefully) more gold for New Zealand.
But first, two-time canoe gold medallist Lisa Carrington will try to add to her K1 200 success at London 2012 and Rio 2016, while also balancing a schedule that includes the solo 500, K2 500 and K4 500.
On Monday, she faces heats and quarter-finals of her specialty event, and combines with Caitlin Regal for heats and quarter-finals in the two-seat boat.
If you're counting, that's a possible four races in little more than three hours.
This evening, America's Cup stars Peter Burling and Blair Tuke will try to repeat the 49er sailing gold medal they won at Rio five years ago, leading into the double-point medal race off Enoshima.
Then, later tonight, Laurel Hubbard - the world's most scrutinised athlete - takes the stage in the women's +87kg weightlifting, becoming the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics.
Don't sleep on our equestrian riders either - Tim Price sits fifth and the NZ team are fourth heading into the final showjumping discipline, so medals are on offer there too.

Kiwi canoe star Carrington eyes toughest Olympic opponent - herself
Kiwi canoe star Lisa Carrington knows the only thing stopping her from winning Olympic gold next week will be herself.
The 32-year-old believes achieving victory in her third Games will be determined by her mental edge.
Carrington has been here before in the heat of Olympic battle and has always stood up, winning two Olympic golds and a casual five world championships
She knows exactly what's required to do it again.
"When you want to go out there and perform your best, it can be a bit scary, to trust yourself that you'll be able to do it," Carrington tells Newshub.
"But ultimately, it's about getting over that hurdle and going, ‘you know what, I'm just going to do my best today and see what I can do’.
"The more I have learnt about how I can perform, how I go under pressure, the more I learn about myself.
"It's just kind of deepening how well I can turn up."
But turning up this time will be different - she's asking more from herself.
She'll feature in four events and should it all go to plan, the Kiwi could contest two gold medal races in an hour.
"I'll be able to get from point A to point B, out of the water warmed down, getting the ice-vest on, that type of thing... minute by minute has been planned out."
Carrington's a mentor to the next class of canoe sprinters.
They've just spent the last two weeks in camp with her and they've watched closely.
"I think the main thing Lisa brings is happiness to the squad," says teammate Max Brown. "It’s just really cool to see that you can be that good, but still be a great person."
And Carrington is primed to prove just how good she is in the coming days.
