RIO DE JANEIRO - Swimming and the debut of rugby sevens headline the opening day of the Rio Olympics on Saturday when 12 gold medals will be decided. Four years ago, Wiggins followed up becoming the first ever Briton to win the Tour by adding Olympic gold in London. US teams are 130-5 in the Olympics, failing to win the gold medal on only three occasions in 17 attempts. Golds will also be decided in women's weightlifting in the 48kg class, men's team archery, women's epee fencing and in judo where the men's 60kg and women's 48kg titles will be won. The first gold at the pool will come in the men's 400m individual medley.
