GB sit fifth in the medal table
After another solid day of medal hunting on Saturday, more of the same is expected today in the golf, gymnastics and athletics just to name a few at the Paris 2024 Olympics today.
The day starts early at 8am with Tommy Fleetwood sitting in third place as the fourth round of holes get underway.
From 9am, Britain’s dressage team will be back at it again, already with a handful of medals won at these games, as they look to make it one more in the individual grand prix freestyle with three riders competing.
At the same time the men’s hockey reaches crunch point in a huge match between powerhouses GB and India in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
From 9am more heats and qualification rounds will be happening at the Stade de France in the athletics including the long jump, sprints and hurdles.
Tom Hall will compete in the archery at 09:48 in a round of 16 tie against German Florian Unruh.
Just before 10:00, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita, who unfortunately failed to medal in the women’s 100m sprint, will be joined by Bianca Williams in the heats of the women’s 200m.
Starting from 11:00 there will be a large choice of sailing to choose from with the mixed dinghy, men and women’s dinghy and men’s and women’s kite.
At 13:00 it will be Team GB’s women’s turn to take to the roads of Paris in the cycling, with their three riders hoping to upset the apple cart and get onto the podium.
From 14:00, things will be getting going in the gymnastics with plenty of medals up for the taking in the individual disciplines.
