The penultimate day of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games promises to be a jam-packed ride of blockbuster entertainment with 39 gold medals to be won starting with the men’s marathon at 7am.
Meanwhile, Team GB target medals in the final round of women’s golf, the 10m platform diving and on the athletics track with Max Burgin targeting 800m gold and Laura Muir and Georgia Bell eyeing up 1500m medals.
Saturday’s highlights
Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge is attempting to become the first marathon runner to win three consecutive Olympic golds with only Abebe Bikila (1960, 1964) and Waldemar Cierpinski (1976, 1980) standing alongside Kipchoge (2016, 2021) as two-time winners.
Georgia Hall amd Charley Hull finish off the last round of the women’s golf with Erin McNeice looking to emulate Toby Roberts as she competes in the women’s boulder and lead final.
Noah Williams and Kyel Kothari hope to cap off a fantastic Games for diving by medalling in the men’s 10m platform while the track cyclists return to the velodrome with Emma Finucane aiming to reach the women’s sprint final and Ethan Hayter & Oliver Wood chasing madison gold.
On the track, Laura Muir and Georgia Bell headline the athletics for Team GB as they go in search of medals in the women’s 1500m while Max Burgin targets glory in the men’s 800m.
