When is the women's 400m final at Olympics 2024? Start time and TV channel today

Team GB are represented in tonight’s women’s 400m final at the Olympics in Paris.

Amber Anning was part of the British team that won bronze in the 4x400m mixed relay event behind the Netherlands and United States at the Stade de France last weekend, alongside Samuel Reardon, Laviai Nielsen and Alex Haydock-Wilson.

The Brighton sprinter then ran a tremendous personal best of 49.47seconds to come second in her individual 400m semi-final behind Poland’s Natalia Kaczmarek after winning her initial heat.

She faces a tough battle in the final on Friday evening, which comes after she has competed in the heats of the women’s 4x400m relay earlier in the day.

Tokyo 2020 silver medalist and reigning world champion Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic is the favourite for victory, with title holder Shaunae Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas having seen her latest bid for glory ended in the repechage following injury.

Kaczmarek, meanwhile, is the current European champion and finished second behind Paulino at the Worlds in Budapest last summer.

Women’s 400m final start time

The women’s 400m final at the Paris Olympics takes place on Friday, August 9 at the Stade de France.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7pm BST - 8pm local time.
