Team GB continue their hunt for more medals at the Olympics on Sunday as Paris 2024 rolls on with another hectic schedule in the French capital.

Sunday’s highlights

The headline act is the men’s 100m final, in which America’s Noah Lyles goes up against Jamaica’s rising star Kishane Thompson. Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo is another contender and Britain’s Zharnel Hughes will hope to be in the mix for a medal too, after he was disqualified from the final in Tokyo.

Keely Hodgkinson will go in the women’s 800m semi–finals, before Josh Kerr battles against his fierce rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the men’s 1500m semi-finals – the two have been drawn in the same race.

There is plenty to look out for beyond the track, too. Novak Djokovic has the chance to finally win Olympic gold in the men’s singles final but he faces the man who beat him in the Wimbledon final this year, Carlos Alcaraz, at Roland Garros.

The women’s road race will see Britain’s Anna Henderson – who won silver in the time trial – and national champion Pfeiffer Georgi alongside Lizzie Diegnan, competing in her fourth Games. The Dutch have phenomenal strength in Lorena Wiebes, Demi Vollering and the great Marianne Vos, but Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky is the world champion out to spoil their plans.

Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy are in contention in the final round of the men’s golf event, with reigning Olympic champion Xander Schauffele and Spain’s Jon Rahm leading after three days.

Jake Jarman has big hopes in the men’s vault final and Becky Downie will go in the women’s uneven bars final, up against Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour.

In the pool, the 4x100m medley relays will be entertaining battles – Team GB are strong contenders in the men’s edition – and there are finals in table tennis, fencing, badminton and archery on a stacked day at the Games.

Here are the day’s top picks for Team GB and a full rundown from around Paris:
