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

Wednesday’s highlights

Matthew Hudson-Smith has overcome mental health struggles and injuries to become one of the world’s best in the 400m, winning silver in the world championships last year. Can he triumph in the 400m final and add to Keely Hodkinson and Josh Kerr’s medals on the track?

It could be another big night at the velodrome with the men’s and women’s team pursuit finals. The women’s team comprised of Elinor Barker, Josie Knight, Anna Morris and Jessica Roberts won gold at the world championship last year.

Team GB’s Andy MacDonald, 51, is the oldest competitor in Olympic skateboaring history will bid to reach tonight’s men’s park final.

In sailing, Team GB are in medal contention on the final day of the mixed multihull medal race, while the men’s dinghy medal race also takes place after it was postponed yesterday.

The women’s golf tournament gets underway at Le Golf National, with Charley Hull and Georgia Hall teeing off in the first round.

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