Final day of Baku 2015 kicks off
Five highlights for 28 June, the final day of the Baku 2015 Games:
1. German girls teaming up
Judo, from 11:00
Germany will be the ones to watch when the team medals are decided in Judo. The Germans have surprised with their strong early showing, especially as France came to Baku 2015 with four defending women's European champions in seven weight categories.
2. Danish roll
Badminton, from 12:00
Athletes from European Badminton powerhouse Denmark will contest
three gold-medal matches at Baku Sports Hall on Sunday, with strong
chances of gold in the women's and men's singles, plus the mixed
doubles final.
3. Spiking interest
Volleyball men's final, 13:00
After 75 matches, the Volleyball competition at Baku 2015 comes to
a close with the men's gold-medal match between Bulgaria and
Germany. The Bulgarians reached the final by beating Poland in five
sets, while Germany arrived in the last two by beating Russia.
Germany, the world no.7, will be favourites, but the Bulgarians
will be keen to upset the odds.
4. Beach boys
Beach football, from 14:30
The beach boys of Baku 2015 hit the sand for the last time as the
final four teams left in the Beach Soccer tournament go into battle
for the medals – Italy and Russia fight for gold, while Switzerland
face Portugal for bronze.
5. Pedal power
BMX, from 15:40
All eyes will be on Laura Smulders in the women's final after the
London 2012 bronze medallist breezed through the motos despite
failing to qualify for the time trial super final on Friday. The
Dutchwoman said the move was deliberate to save energy after a long
injury lay-off, and her ploy will be tested as she is chased all
the way around the 395m track by Elke Vanhoof of Belgium and
Denmark's Simone Christensen.
