From athletic to rowing to shooting, there are more than 50 Scots hoping to make a name for themselves at the Games of the XXXII Olympiad.
We’ve picked out 12 including Andy Murray, Jemma Reekie, Duncan Scott, and Seonaid McIntosh who we think you should keep an eye on as the Games get under way.
9. Seonaid McIntosh - shooting
The sharp shot could win Britain’s first medal of the Games in the women’s 10m air rifle on Saturday. McIntosh is following in the footsteps of her sister Jen who competed in the sport at the previous two Olympics. The 25-year-old from Edinburgh is the current 50m prone rifle world champion.

10. Scott Brash - equestrian
Peebles showjumper won Olympic gold in the team jumping event in London in the glorious summer of 2012 and returns to the Games in Tokyo in fine form. Now 35, Brash won a five-star grand prix event in the Netherlands last week on board his Olympic ride, Hello Jefferson. Photo: Christof Koepsel
11. Duncan Scott - swimming
Perhaps the best hope of a Scottish medal hope in Tokyo. No pressure, then. Scott picked up relay silver in the pool at Rio but will also be looking to get about the individual prizes in Japan. A real all-rounder, Scott broke the British record in the 200m individual medley at the Olympic trials. Has won gold at three successive World Championships Photo: Karl Bridgeman
12. Kim Little - football
Arsenal and Scotland midfielder has been named as one of three captains of the Team GB football team in Tokyo. The trio will rotate the armband throughout the tournament, with Britain drawn against Chile, Japan and Canada in the group stage. Little and Manchester City’s Caroline Weir are the only two Scots in the British team. Photo: Karl Bridgeman
