    Day 3 - Monday 29 July - 19 gold medals

    Gold medal events:

    Archery (men's team), artistic gymnastics (men's team), canoe slalom (men's C1), diving (men's synchro 10m platform), equestrian (eventing jumping team, eventing jumping individual), fencing (men foil, women sabre), judo (W -57kg, M -73kg), mountain bike (men's cross-country), shooting (men's and women's 10m air rifle), skateboard (men's street), swimming (women's 400m individual medley, men's 200m free, men's 100m back, women's 100m breaststroke, women's 200m free).

    Highlights

    Tom Daley, now 30, is back for his fifth Olympic Games representing Team GB. He is paired with 24-year-old Noah Williams in the men’s 10m synchro, an event in which Daley won a dramatic Tokyo gold alongside Matty Lee. Daley and Williams are top-ranked coming into Paris 2024 but the rankings do not fully account for the threat from China, whose pairing of Lian Junjie and Hao Yang have won the past three world titles. The final starts at 10:00.

    In swimming, GB’s line-up for the men’s 200m freestyle is so strong that Tom Dean, who won Olympic gold in Tokyo, does not make the start list. Instead, Team GB will look to 2023 world champion Matt Richards and Tokyo silver medallist Duncan Scott. Watch out for Romania’s David Popovici, who is a second faster than anyone else this year heading into the event (final starts 19:43).

    Tom Pidcock is in the middle of an exhausting 2024. He arrives at the Paris Olympics immediately after Covid forced him out of the Tour de France, and then he will compete not just in road cycling but also in mountain biking’s cross-country event, which starts at 13:10. Pidcock’s electric performance to win this event three years ago was a British highlight in Tokyo, and he says defending that title is his priority.

    In the men’s team gymnastics final (from 16:30), GB have a shot at the podium. China and Japan have looked a class apart in recent years, but the Brits were third at the 2022 world championships and narrowly beaten into fourth by the US a year later. Max Whitlock was in the team that won bronze at London 2012 and has since had to endure back-to-back fourth-place Olympic finishes in this event.

    Eventing reaches its last day of action, concluding with showjumping from 10:00. Will GB be able to take back-to-back titles? The British are fielding an extraordinarily strong team but jumping is one of those sports where a first tiny error can rapidly become a catastrophe. Anything could happen, no matter how the dressage and cross-country set things up.

  3. What happened on day two of the Olympics?published at 21:55 British Summer Time 28 July

    Plenty of drama on day two of the Olympics - here are the best moments.

    • Adam Peaty went for a third-straight 100m breaststroke gold and came up just 0.02 seconds short, sharing silver with American Nic Fink
    • Andy Murray delayed his retirement with a scarcely believable escape act as the British tennis great and Dan Evans saved five match points to win their Olympics men's doubles opener.
    • Kimberley Woods won Great Britain's third medal of the Games, with bronze in the women's kayak singles.
    • Rafael Nadal set up a tantalising second-round contest with old foe Novak Djokovic after coming through his opening singles match against Hungary's Marton Fucsovics.
    • Simone Biles made a stunning return to Olympic action in the women's artistic gymnastics qualifying, including a sublime beam routine that scored 14.733.
    • Chelsie Giles was left in tears after being knocked out of the second round of the women's -52kg judo by Brazil's Larissa Pimenta.
    • Pollution in the River Seine forced the cancellation of Sunday's proposed swimming training for Olympic triathletes.
  4. Paris 2024 medal table after day twopublished at 21:53 British Summer Time 28 July

    Japanese fencer Kano Koki has just beaten Yannick Borel of France in the final of the men's individual epee - the final gold medal on offer on day two, and the 26th gold of Paris 2024 so far.

    It is Japan's fourth gold of the Games, and lifts them top of the medal table ahead of Australia.

    United States, who have won the most medals overall of any nation so far but just three golds, are third in the standings with France fourth having made a decent start to their home Games.

    Thanks to winning the women's team archery today, South Korea remain in the top five - edging out China who are currently sixth.

    Great Britain continue to hunt their first gold of these Olympics, and are 13th overall after two days of competition.

    More from GB's Andy Murray after he managed to delay his retirement with a first round win in the men's doubles: "In the moment, when we finished the match, both of us were just laughing. I haven't celebrated a match like that since maybe the Kokkinakis match in Australia [Australian Open 2023].

    "What an amazing feeling to get through that. There was a bit of shock and genuine happiness at the end of it.

    GB's Andy Murray and Dan Evans speaking after their men's doubles first round win over Japan's Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori.

    Evans: "I couldn't believe it happened. We just played point for point and, when we were down, we just stuck to the game plan. Then we got back into it and it was a good return from Andy in the end which got us through."

    Murray: "There was a lot of instinct and maybe we were overthinking it slightly at the beginning of the match. When we were behind, like at the end of the second set, we started going for it a bit more and we came out with some great stuff.

    "I certainly didn't play well so we will definitely need to play better in the next round, but I do think we will."

    GB's Max Litchfield speaking after his fourth-place finish in the men's 400m individual medley final: "I don't really know what to say. It's my best time and I swam a British record, so it's hard and bittersweet because of that.

    "But I have given my everything - physically, mentally and emotionally. It just wasn't meant to be again. But I have come fourth at three Olympics on the trot - there aren't many people who can say they have done that!

    "It is just tough because it's so close again. I gave it my everything so I can't complain - I'm upset but I've done everything I possibly could.

    "It's sport and I'm upset."

I needed to do more down that last 50m to make it comfortable spot in that final. I left that a little bit too short, so a couple of minutes watching that second semi-final was a little nervy.

    "I've got a lane tomorrow night and that's all that matters. We can get in now and fine tune everything to see what we can do."

    The United States, managed by former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, are on course for their second win in two Group B matches. They began their campaign with a 3-0 win over Zambia and they currently lead 3-1 against Germany.

    Sophia Smith has scored twice for USA, with Mallory Swanson also scoring, while Guilia Gwinn has netted for Germany.

    Hosts France are drawing 1-1 against crisis-hit reigning Olympic champions Canada, who have been deducted six points with boss Bev Priestman receiving a one-year ban from world governing body Fifa.

    It comes after a drone was used to spy on a training session for New Zealand before their opening match with Canada.

    There are 65 minutes gone in both the ongoing matches.

    We have kind of taking Adam Peaty for granted. We have taken him for granted from sitting up here and watching him.

    He turns up, he gets a gold medal for Great Britain, and that's one gold medal on the table already.

    Does he go to LA for another Olympics? We don't know how many more swims he has got in him or if he wants to continue. It's beautiful watching him swim because it is someone British.

    He is not Michael Phelps, he is not American, he is a Brit.

    Adam mentioned that he was one or two percent off - that is the difference between winning and losing.

    You could pick it to pieces and think: 'He could've done this, he could've done that on the evening' - and we could pick everyone else to pieces - but it is about who manages their emotions best and gets the best result.

    But that was his best result for tonight.
