There’s now just over a day until the Rio 2016 Olympics kick off, and we’re buzzing like a jar of wasps – to quote Glasgow 2014 hero Charlie Flynn.

We’re dead proud of our Olympians – swimmers Ross Murdoch, Duncan Scott, Robbie Renwick and Craig Benson – as well as former sports scholars Colin Fleming, Catriona Matthew and Gordon Reid (who will take part in the Paralympics representing Team GB). Special shout out also to Honorary Graduate Andy Murray, who was recently asked to bear the flag for the Brits.

Ahead of the Games, we’ve pulled together the dates, times and events for all of Stirling’s athletes. Good luck to all our athletes!

NB: All times are UK times, and all post-qualifying round appearances depend on athlete progression. For a full Rio 2016 schedule, the BBC website has a calendar of all Olympic events.

BONUS: When Max & Lachie met Robbie & Craig

They’ve competed in front of thousands. Experienced all the pressures of an elite athlete. Now they face their toughest test.
