Today's Olympics schedule: Team GB events, Day 10 medal highlights and how to watch Paris Games

The 2024 Olympics are past the halfway point.

A host of events kick off on Monday, though, including synchronised swimming, track cycling, climbing and wrestling. Team GB have medal hopes in women’s 800m final with Keely Hodgkinson, the canoe slalom and mixed triathlon relay - amongst others.

Twenty Olympic champions will be crowned in sports with the final medals being awarded in artistic gymnastics, 3x3 basketball, badminton, canoe slalom, shooting, surfing and triathlon.

Best of today’s action

Last chance to catch Simone Biles in action

Artistic gymnastics marks its final day with the spotlight on two women's events; the balance beam and floor exercise finals featuring American Simone Biles.

Already the most decorated gymnast in history, Biles will be looking to grab two more golds in what would be a clean sweep for all five of her competitions in Paris.

The men's finals will take place in parallel bars and horizontal bar.

Hasson out on track for women’s 5,000 metres

The Netherlands' Sifan Hassan defends her Olympic title in the 5,000 metres final, part of an audacious and gruelling Paris schedule that also includes the 10,000 and the marathon later in the programme.

The world record is always under threat when Armand Duplantis steps into an arena and fans will hope to watch the Swedish Olympic champion pole vaulter make history again in the men's final.

Valarie Allman will be the highlight in women's discus, as she goes for a second straight Olympic gold after frustrating bronze and silver finishes at the 2022 and 2023 worlds respectively.

Men and women singles medals in badminton

South Korea's An Se-young, the women's number one, who came into the Olympics under pressure with an injury, squares off against China's He Bingjiao for singles gold.

Thailand's Kunlavut Vitidsarn will aim to win his country's first Olympic medal in badminton when he takes on reigning Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in the men's singles.

Track cycling starts

The track cycling programme begins at St Quentin velodrome with one medal at stake on the opening day, the women's team sprint in which Britain will be one of the favourites for gold.

Dinghy sailors take centre stage

Dinghy sailors are in action, with Dutchwoman Marit Bouwmeester on form in her attempt to overtake Britain's Hannah Mills as the most successful female Olympic sailor ever, while Matt Wearn is demonstrating he means business for Australia in the men's event.

Both could make it through to the double points medal race on Tuesday already knowing they have secured gold.

Triathlon mixed relay dives into Seine

France's Cassandre Beaugrand, who won gold in the individual triathlon on Wednesday, will dive into the Seine again for the mixed relay that gets under way at 8 a.m. local time.

Beaugrand and three teammates will try to take the crown off Britain, defending champions in the event.

Leo Bergere, who won bronze for France in the men's race, has made no secret of the team's ambition but Britain's chances look good, with gold medallist Alex Yee set to kick off the relay and bronze medallist Beth Potter rounding it out.

Seventeen teams of four will battle for the medals, with each athlete completing a 300 metres swim in the river, 5.8 km on the bike and a 1.8 km run.

First-ever medals in Kayak Cross

Britain's Joe Clarke and Kimberley Cook are the paddlers to beat as the first-ever medals in kayak cross will be handed out at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, with the quarter-finals, semis and finals all taking place on Monday.

Men in semi-final football action

The men's football semi-finals take place, with Morocco facing Spain in Marseille and France taking on Egypt in Lyon, with the hosts aiming to extend their quest for their first Olympic title in 40 years.

How to watch Olympics Day 10

TV channel: The BBC is broadcasting two live streams of the action for the duration of the Games. This will be on BBC One, BBC Two or a stream available by clicking the red button on Freeview or a smart TV. 

On Saturday, it’s 8am BST until 1pm on BBC One and again from 1:15pm until 6pm, plus 6:20pm until 10pm. BBC Two briefly pick up the coverage between 6pm and 6:20pm.

There is reduced coverage compared with previous years, when the BBC broadcasted everything from archery to wrestling live on its website or channels. Instead, Discovery+ is the main rights holder for Paris 2024 and is showing every moment across the Eurosport channels in the UK from 7am to 10.30pm every day.

Live stream: Fans can also catch the BBC coverage live online for free via the BBC Sport website and BBC iPlayer. The Discovery+ app will be showing extensive coverage, which begins at a monthly fee of £3.99.

Highlights: The BBC will be showing a nightly highlights show called Tonight at the Games, which on Saturday night is being shown on BBC One at 10.20pm.
