There are 19 gold medals to be won on Monday, with flagbearer Tom Daley amongst those in action.
Daley will team up with Noah Williams to defend his 10m synchro title from Tokyo, while Tom Pidcock is also in search of a second gold in the men’s mountain bike cross-country.
Diving: Men’s 10m Synchro
Team GB flagbearer Tom Daley is going for gold on Day Three alongside teammate Noah Williams.
Daley, 30, is competing at his fifth Olympic Games and will be defending the men’s synchronised 10m gold he won with Matty Lee in Tokyo at 11:00 CET.
The pair secured a World Championships silver medal earlier this year in Doha, and 24-year-old Williams has pedigree of his own, having won world silver in Budapest in 2022 alongside Lee.
It would be the second diving medal of the Games for Team GB following a bronze for Scarlett Mew Jensen and Yasmin Harper on Saturday.
Mountain Bike Cycling: Men’s Cross-Country
Following Evie Richards’ fifth-place finish in the cross-country mountain biking, it is all eyes on Tom Pidcock as he looks to defend his Olympic crown.
The 24-year-old, who won World Championship gold last year, has recovered from a bout of Covid-19 which forced him to withdraw from the Tour De France earlier this month.
Pidcock, will be joined on Elancourt Hill by under-23 world champion Charlie Aldridge, who is in his first full year as a senior athlete.
Equestrian: Eventing
Team GB’s eventing team of Ros Canter, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen are in a prime position for a medal going into the final day, with everything coming down to the showjumping competition at 12:15.
The trio currently lead the team standings after accumulating 82.5 penalties, with France second on 87.2 and Japan third on 93.8. Rivals Germany are out of contention after Christoph Wahler suffered a fall in Sunday’s cross-country.
Individual medals will also be handed out, with Collett and McEwen well in contention there too.
Collett is second in the individual standings behind only Germany’s Michael Jung, having picked up a 0.8 time-fault penalty during the cross-country stage to sit on 18.3 points, while McEwen stays on his dressage score of 25.8 and is sixth after a clear cross-country run.
Canter is currently 24th after being awarded 15 penalties during the cross-country stage. The appeal of this is still pending.
Swimming
Back to the pool, and Team GB will hope to have strong representation in the men’s 200m freestyle, with 2023 world champion Matt Richards and Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Duncan Scott both competing.
Richards and Scott, who were both part of the 4x200m freestyle team that won gold in Tokyo, qualified sixth and 11th respectively for tonight’s semi-finals, ahead of tomorrow’s final, which is at 20:40.
World champion Freya Colbert will also be in action on Monday in the women’s 400m individual medley, as she aims to back up her gold in Doha earlier this year.
She will be joined in the heats by Katie Shanahan, 20, at 11:00 with the final at 20:30.
There are also medals to be won in the men’s 100m backstroke (21:19), women’s 100m breaststroke (21:25).
Ollie Morgan and Jonny Marshall qualified 11th and 16th respectively for tonight’s 100m backstroke semi-final, while Angharad Evans qualified 12th for the women’s 100m breaststroke.
Gymnastics: Men’s Artistic Team All-Around Final
Following a strong qualifying session, Team GB’s men take to the apparatus once more as they compete in the all-around team final tomorrow evening.
The team, comprised of three-time Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock, Joe Fraser, Harry Hepworth, Jake Jarman, and Luke Whitehouse qualified third for the final, behind China and Japan, who both medalled at Tokyo.
The GB team, which finished fourth at Tokyo, also qualified for eight individual finals, meaning there’s plenty of optimism they can go one better this time.
Whitlock said: “There is just a lot of relief right now, qualifications are always so tough, especially at the Olympics, and everybody was really feeling it, we knew what was a stake.”
The final starts at 17:30, with an expected 20:30 finish.
Canoe Slalom: Men’s C1
Less than two-tenths of a second off a canoe slalom medal in Tokyo, Adam Burgess is looking to go at least one step further in Paris.
Burgess was almost flawless in his first run on Saturday, as his time of 90.87 saw him qualify in second place for tomorrow’s semi-final, which takes place at 15:30.
The 32-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent described that run as the best experience of his life, but that would surely be eclipsed if he can repeat a similar performance in the final, which takes place at 17:20.
Elsewhere, there will be medals won in judo, with Lele Nairne competing in the women’s -57kg and archery, as the men’s team finals take place, featuring Team GB’s Conor Hall, Tom Hall and Alex Wise.
With thanks to Team GB
