Tokyo Olympics 100m final live stream: When and how to watch men’s race for FREE on TV in UK today

The showpiece event of the Tokyo Olympics - and any Games - is the men’s 100-metre final, which takes take today.

Without Usain Bolt, it promises to be the most open race in years. USA's Trayvon Bromell was the favourite heading into the Games but missed out on the final after a poor semi-final showing.

So USA’s hopes lie with Fred Kerley and Ronnie Baker, though Canada’s Andre de Grasse - a bronze medallist in Rio - will likely be their strongest opponent.

Great Britain’s hopes are with Zharnel Hughes.

When is the men’s 100m final?

The men’s 100-metre final is scheduled to take place at 1.50pm BST today, Sunday, August 1, 2021.
