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

Tuesday’s highlights

Josh Kerr’s 1500m final showdown with Jabok Ingebrigtsen has been dubbed a “race for the ages” and is perhaps the highlight of the entire athletics schedule at these Olympics. Kerr is the world champion and bronze medallist from Tokyo while Ingebrigtsen is the reigning Olympic champion – there is also no love lost between the pair, which only adds to what should be an epic at the Stade de France.

Elsewhere in the athletics, the women’s 200m final is set to feature the new 100m champion Julian Alfred, as well as American star Gabby Thomas. Great Britain’s Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith will hope to go through and join them.

It was a record-breaking opening day at the track cycling and the men’s team sprint side will look to follow the women’s gold. Jack Carlin, Edward Lowe and Hamish Turnbull.

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix targets a second Olympic diving medal in the individual 10m final, having won synchro bronze along with

Sky Brown won bronze in Tokyo at the age of just 13, and the now 16-year-old targets a second Olympic medal in the final of the women’s park.
