Great Britain will compete for a mixed 4x400m relay medal on Saturday after the quartet of Samuel Reardon, Laviai Nielsen, Alex Haydock-Wilson and Nicole Yeargin set a national record to win their heat in 3:10.61.

The United States qualified fastest for that final in a new world record of 3:07.41.

The final takes place tonight at 19:55 BST.

Another of Team GB's gold medal hopes breezed through the heats as Keely Hodgkinson made a winning start to her Olympic 800m title bid.

Hodgkinson, 22, is targeting a first global crown after finishing second at successive World Championships since she clinched a stunning silver on her Olympic debut as a teenager in Tokyo.

She controlled her heat from the front in one minute 59.31 seconds to qualify for Sunday's semi-finals, where she will be joined by team-mates Jemma Reekie and 17-year-old Phoebe Gill.

Elsewhere on the track, we saw the women's 100m heats get under way and Team GB's Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita and Imani Lansiquot safely qualified.

USA's world champion Sha'Carri Richardson also cruised through in a time of 10.94.

The first semi-final takes place at 18:50 BST, the final at 20:20 BST, and the men's first rounds also begin this morning so there will be plenty of excitement to come.

The athletics started on Friday, and Great Britain’s Josh Kerr and rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen remain on course for their anticipated Olympic gold-medal showdown at Paris 2024 after both qualified from their men's 1500m heats.

Kerr, who beat Olympic champion Ingebrigtsen to win world gold last year, held back before unleashing a fast finish to clock a season's best three minutes 35.83 seconds in a well-attended first morning of athletics inside the Stade de France.

Norwegian Ingebrigtsen clocked 3:37.04 for third in his heat, ahead of Neil Gourley who qualified in fifth (3:37.18) - however British team-mate George Mills must go through a repechage round to reach Sunday's semi-finals.

After another medal-laden day yesterday, there is no shortage of chances for Team GB to add to their tally today.

It all starts with Chateau de Versailles at 09:00 BST as Becky Moody, Carl Hester and Lottie Fry compete in the team dressage final. Hester and Fry were part of the team that won bronze in the event in Tokyo.

At the same time, the resurgent GB women's hockey team face Argentina in their final pool match before the quarter-finals.

It is the last day of rowing and there are more medal chances for Great Britain. The women's eight go in their final at 09:50 BST, with the men's eight competing in their final at 10:10 BST.

In between those two finals, the men's road race begins at 10:00 BST. GB have a full four-man team that features Tom Pidcock, who won the Olympic mountain bike title last week in thrilling fashion.

One medal is already guaranteed, it is just a matter of what colour it will be for Emma Wilson in the women's windsurfing. That was postponed yesterday but the hope is that will be able to go ahead at 12:33 BST.

And here's how Team GB's start in Paris compares to Tokyo.
