After a medals trickle in the opening days of the Paris Olympics, could Day 6 turn into a flow for The NZ Team?


Kiwi athletes will compete in six medal races - four in rowing at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium and two in sailing in Marseille - and could qualify for three others later on Thursday in France.


LATEST HEADLINES:


New Zealand rowing's men's and women's doubles sculls and men's and women's fours boats will race in finals (from 9.18pm NZ Time), while single scullers Emma Twigg and Tom Mackintosh will also race for spots in their finals (from 7.30pm NZT).


In the South of France, Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie sit in bronze medal spot entering the double-points men's 49er medal race (12.43am Friday NZT), while Jo Aleh and Molly Meech lie eighth going into the women's 49erFX medal race (1.43am Friday NZT).


Finn Butcher will compete for a place in the men's K1 canoe slalom final (1.30am Friday NZT), the women's 4x200m freestyle relay team will attempt to reach their final in the pool (from 9pm NZT) and judoka Moira Koster will aim to add an Olympics medal in the women's 78kg division (starting 8pm NZT) to her two Commonwealth Games medals.


Elsewhere, golfers Ryan Fox and Daniel Hillier see their first action with the opening round of the men's strokeplay tournament (from 7.22pm NZT), and BMX racers Rico Bearman and Leila Walker get underway on the dirt track (from 6am Friday NZT).
