There are 18 gold medals available on Wednesday, with Team GB hopefuls competing in triathlon, rowing, diving, BMX freestyle, canoe slalom and artistic gymnastics.
Medals in swimming and judo are also up for grabs.
Triathlon
The women’s triathlon is set to start at 08:00 CET, with Team GB represented by Beth Potter, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Kate Waugh. Potter is the reigning world champion from 2023, while Taylor-Brown was an individual silver medallist and mixed relay team gold medallist in Tokyo.
This race will be followed by the men’s triathlon, which was postponed due to the concerns surrounding the water quality in the River Seine. It has now been scheduled for after the women’s race: 10:45 CET on Wednesday.
Team GB’s Alex Yee, who will be aiming to upgrade the silver medal he earned in Tokyo, will be joined by Olympic debutant Sam Dickinson, who was a travelling reserve in the Japanese capital and has since won Commonwealth gold.
If tomorrow’s triathlon is also suspended, the reserve day for both events is Friday.
Artistic Gymnastics: Men’s All-Around Final
Team GB’s Jake Jarman and Joe Fraser qualified for the men’s artistic gymnastics all-around final in fifth and sixth respectively, with action getting underway at 17:30 CET.
Jarman was a reserve in Tokyo so is making his Olympic debut in Paris. He earned four gold medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, including in the all-around, and a title in the vault at the 2023 World Championships.
Fraser competed in Tokyo and came ninth in the all-around final. He is a former world champion in the parallel bars and a former European champion in the all-around.
Rowing: Men’s and Women’s Quadruple Sculls
The first rowing medals will be handed out at the Stade Nautique de Vaires-sur-Marne, with Team GB represented in the men’s and women’s quadruple sculls.
Tom Barras, Callum Dixon, Matt Haywood and Graeme Thomas will compete in the men’s race at 12:26 CET, while Lauren Henry, Hannah Scott, Lola Anderson and Georgie Brayshaw in the women’s race at 12:38.
Britain are the reigning world champions in the women’s quadruple sculls, while the men’s team finished with a silver medal at the 2022 World Championships.
Diving: Women’s 10m Synchro
Lois Toulson and Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix go in the women’s synchronised 10m platform final at 11:00 CET. The pair were silver medallists at the World Championships last year, before following this up with a bronze in Doha earlier this year.
Toulson is competing at her third Olympics, whilst this is Spendolini-Sirieix’s second Games. Both will also be competing in the individual women’s 10m platform, which gets started on Monday.
BMX Freestyle
Kieran Reilly will fly the flag for Team GB in the men’s BMX freestyle final tomorrow afternoon.
2023 World champion Reilly was the top qualifier for the final, averaging 91.21 across his two runs which means he will go last in tomorrow’s final.
It takes place at 14:45 CET and is expected to finish by 16:30.
“”I am just hoping today’s result is something to follow up tomorrow,” he said. “I am definitely a volume, big trick rider and we have got a lot of features on this course which is great for me.”
Canoe Slalom: Women’s C1
Silver medallist from Tokyo, Mallory Franklin, will be aiming to add to Team GB’s haul of canoe slalom medals in tomorrow’s women’s C1 final.
Following bronze for Kimberley Woods in the women’s K1 and silver for Adam Burgess in the men’s C1, it is the turn of the seven-time world champion Franklin.
The 30-year-old qualified sixth for the semi-final, which takes place at 15:30, with the top 12 canoeists making the final, which starts at 17:25.
Elsewhere, judoka Katie-Jemima Yeats-Brown competes in the women’s -70kg and Matt Richards and Anna Hopkin can go for gold in the men’s and women’s 100m freestyle respectively, after qualifying for this evening’s semi-finals.
