Highlights - March 18

World triathlon champion Emma Snowsill and Annabel Luxford are favourites to take gold and silver respectively in the women's triathlon on the St Kilda foreshore.

Matters are less clear-cut in the men's race, where Australian world champion Peter Robertson faces a battle from Kiwi duo Hamish Carter and Bevan Docherty and England's Tim Don.

The track cycling program continues with Ryan Bayley and Meares sisters Anna and Kerrie expected to flex their calves in the sprint.

The biggest night in the pool so far gives fans a chance to cheer Libby Lenton, Jodie Henry and Alice Mills in the 100m free and Leisel Jones in the 200m breaststroke, with world records tipped to tumble.
