Team GB continue their Olympic medal hunt on Thursday as athletes look to keep alive medal hopes in taekwondo, diving and track cycling among other events at Paris 2024.
Elsewhere, Team USA look to add to an impressive medal haul as Noah Lyles aims to take 200m gold and Lebron James’ basketball side look to get past Serbia and into the gold medal match.
Thursday’s highlights
American sprint sensation Noah Lyles is the headline in the evening athletics session, as he hunts another gold – potentially number two of three in this Games – in the men’s 200m final at 19:30. He may run in the first heats of the 4x100m relay in the morning too.
In the morning athletics session, GB’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson begins her hunt for heptathlon gold with the 100m hurdles at 09.05.
Yasmin Harper and Grace Reid will compete in the women’s 3m springboard semi-finals from 09.00, hoping to make Friday’s final. And GB’s Jack Laugher is back in the men’s diving 3m springboard final, having won both silver and bronze in this event at the past two Olympics.
The men’s omnium takes place in the velodrome, with Ollie Wood and Ethan Hayter potentially in contention for a medal. That event begins with the scratch race at 16.00. And from 16.18, the women’s keirin quarter-finals get underway, with GB duo Emma Finucane and Katy Marchant in the hunt for a medal.
Team USA look to stay in the hunt for yet another gold medal in basketball as they take on Serbia in the semi-finals at 20.00.
In men’s hockey, the gold medal match takes place at 18:00 between Germany and the Netherlands.
Here are the day’s top picks for Team GB and a full rundown from around Paris:
