Laura begins her 1500m competition on Friday evening, when she lines up in her first round heat.
Time of this event is 20.30 (Brazil Time), which is 12.30am GMT on Saturday.

which is scheduled for Sunday evening at 21.30 (Brazil Time), which is 1.30am GMT on Monday.

The Final of the Women’s 1500m is scheduled for Tuesday evening at 22.30 (Brazil Time),
which is 2.30am GMT on Wednesday.
