With no less than 27 gold medals to be won on Saturday, it’s going to be another exciting day of Olympic action.
Team GB will be targeting medals on the track, on the bike, in the boat and beyond.
Athletics
The first athletics medals will be handed out on Saturday 3 August. Team GB’s Dina Asher-Smith, Darryl Neita and Imani-Lara Lansiquot are among those targeting the women’s 100m final at 21:20 CET, with the semi-finals earlier that evening at 19:50.
Asher-Smith, Britain’s fastest female sprinter, is competing at her third Games and will be hoping to add an Olympic medal to the 100m European title she earned in earlier this year. Meanwhile, Neita, also taking part in her third Games, has European and Commonwealth 100m bronze medals from 2022.
There could also be British representation in the mixed 4x400m relay final, which gets underway at 20:55, with the preliminary rounds taking place tonight at 19:10.
Earlier in the day, Zharnel Hughes, Louie Hinchliffe and Jeremiah Azu will be competing in the men’s 100m heats.
Gymnastics
The individual apparatus finals get underway in gymnastics on Saturday, with Jake Jarman and Luke Whitehouse in action in the men’s floor at 15:30, and Max Whitlock contesting the men’s pommel horse at 17:10.
Whitlock, who is already the most successful pommel horse worker in Olympic history, is aiming to earn a fourth consecutive medal on the apparatus, having finished with gold in Tokyo and Rio, and bronze in London.
Jarman is the reigning Commonwealth Games champion in the floor, while Whitehouse is a two-time European champion in the discipline.
Equestrian – Team Dressage
The team dressage final gets underway at 10:00, with Team GB seeking a third equestrian team gold after the eventing and jumping teams.
Becky Moody, Carl Hester and Charlotte Fry, who have also all qualified for the individual final on Sunday, will go for gold after qualifying third for the team event.
Britain won gold in the event at London 2012, and also finished on the podium in Rio and Tokyo.
Rowing
Rowing concludes on Saturday and Team GB have the chance to earn two more medals in the women’s eight final at 10:50 and the men’s eight final at 11:10.
Both boats won their respective heats to qualify for the finals.
The men’s eights delivered one of the two rowing medals Team GB won at Tokyo, securing a bronze.
Cycling – Men’s Road Race
Tom Pidcock will be going for his second medal of Paris 2024 in the men’s road race, which starts at 11:00 and will run until 18:15.
Pidcock, who won the mountain bike cross-country race will be joined by Josh Tarling, who finished fourth in the men’s time trial, alongside Stephen Williams and Fred Wright.
Elsewhere, Emma Wilson will be hoping the weather turns in Marseille, as she is guaranteed a windsurfing medal going into tomorrow’s medal race, which was postponed today.
Team GB will be hunting a medal on the penultimate night in the pool, as they defend their Olympic mixed 4x100m medley relay title on Saturday, having triumphed in the event when it made its debut in Tokyo. The team have qualified fifth fastest for the final.
Megan Havers will go for gold in the women’s individual archery competition. Her last 16 match against South Korea’s Lim Sihyeon starts at 10:09.
Whilst Tommy Fleetwood is joint-leader going into the third round of golf action, the women’s hockey team play their final group game, and the men’s and women’s kayak cross gets underway with four British athletes in action.
With thanks to Team GB
