For the Belgian Cats (quarter-finals) and the Red Panthers (semi-finals), it gradually becomes a matter of marbles, while in the evening weightlifter Nina Sterckx, fifth in Tokyo, makes a bid for an Olympic certificate (or more). And of course there are also plenty of Belgian entries at the Stade de France.

Will the Red Panthers reach a historic final?
A very diverse palette of sports on the 12th day of the Olympic Games.
Early Bird Manon de Roy will make his golf debut from 9am, with Liz Broeks and Hermione Peters proving themselves a little later in the 500m K1 kayak series. Artuur Peters can also venture out on the water for the 1000m K1.
Meanwhile, we will also have to wait and see if sport climber Hannes van Duysen can qualify for the final in the combined bouldering competition. At 1:26 p.m., Niki Deluge and Julie Nicolaes will be back on the slopes for the first round of the Keirin.
From the track to the hall: In the basket, the Belgian Cats will face Spain in the quarter-finals after a Houdini show (2:30 p.m.).
The Red Panthers have already gone one step further in hockey: in the semi-finals (7 p.m.) they must beat China if they want to secure a place in the final and thus a medal.
In the evening we also watch the pursuit team. Will record hunters Tor Dennis, Lindsay De Vilder, Noah Vandenbranden and Fabio van den Bosch outdo themselves again in the battle for seventh place?
Excellence is also what our proud weightlifter Nina Sterckx wants to do. In the under 49kg category, she mainly wants to enjoy herself, but getting a medal is undoubtedly on her mind.
Bees busy on the athletics track
In addition, it was a very busy day in athletics for our Belgian athletes.
Thomas Karmoy starts the morning session. He could try to qualify for the high jump final.
Immediately after that we see John Heymans and Isaac Kimeli working in the 5000m series, and the Belgian trio of Elliot Christan, Thibaut De Smet and Peter Ciesk will give their best in the 800m series.
Elise Vanderlust got a second chance in the 1500m.
Evening session brings dessert: Michael Obasoy warms up the Belgian crowd during the 110m hurdles semi-final.
Alexander Daum was supposed to perform in the 400m final, but his dream was shattered after he suffered an injury in the semi-final.
