Fans are eagerly making their way into the Stade de France in northern Paris, anticipating an exciting night of track and field events. The session ahead holds the promise of four gold medals, with renowned athletes vying for victory.
Among the star athletes set to compete is Sweden's Mondo Duplantis, the world record holder and defending champion in pole vault. Another notable contender is Kenya's Faith Kipyegon, a former record holder in the 5,000 meters event.
With Athing Mu's absence from the Olympics, all eyes are on Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson as the frontrunner in the women's 800 meters race. Additionally, spectators can look forward to the final of the women's discus throw, along with the heats for the men's 3000-meter steeplechase and the women's and men's 200 meters.
Despite the warm weather in Paris, the track at the Stade de France offers ample shade, providing a welcome respite for the athletes, especially those competing in the grueling 5,000 meters race.
The action kicks off with the men's pole vault final, scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET, setting the stage for an evening filled with thrilling performances and fierce competition.
