Team GB continue their Olympic medal hunt on Friday as they look to grab medals in athletics, relays and track cycling at Paris 2024.
Athletes such as Katarina Johnson-Thompson are in action on the athletics track, as are relay teams including new 400m silver medallist Matt Hudson-Smith and future sprint hopeful Louie Hinchliffe.
Friday’s highlights
The day begins with Katarina Johnson-Thompson in action as she looks to put a string of back Olympic luck behind her in the women’s heptathlon. She begins the day in the lead, on 4055 points ahead of the long jump event.
Noah Williams – fresh off a silver medal with Tom Daley in the men’s synchronized 10m platform event – begins a hunt for an individual medal in the 10m platform. Yasmin Harper and Grace Reid will battle for a medal in the women’s 3m springboard final from 2pm too.
There are first rounds in the women’s and men’s 4x400m relays, with Matt Hudson-Smith hoping to eventually do one better than his silver medal in the individual event.
The medal events begin in the evening on the cycling track, with Jack Carlin potentially in the mix for a medal in the men’s sprint.
In the women’s madison, the GB pair of Neah Evans and Elinor Barker will contest for a place on the podium just after 5pm.
Back at the Stade de France, GB have medal hopes in both the men’s and women’s 4x100m relay finals, which begin at 6.30pm. Amber Anning has an individual medal hope too, in the women’s 400m final.
A champion will be crowned in the men’s 400m hurdles, with the athletes with the three fastest times in history all facing off in that final.
Early in the evening, hosts France will take on Spain in the gold medal match in the men’s football.
From 9.50pm, boxer Imane Khelif fights for gold against China’s Yiu Lang.
