It promises to be a memorable day at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Thursday 8 August with two huge races in the athletics at the Stade de France.
The new 100m champion Noah Lyles continues his quest for triple gold, with the men’s 200m final at 19:30 local time and USA’s Kenny Bednarek among the sprint stars out to deny his compatriot.
That will be followed by a showdown for the ages in the women’s 400m hurdles final, where the only two women to have ever gone sub-51 seconds go head-to-head: Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and the reigning world champion Femke Bol.
Away from the track, the world record could be broken again in the men’s Speed climbing finals, with USA’s Sam Watson breaking his own record in qualifying after Veddriq Leonardo had matched his previous best time.
In the track cycling, there are two golds on offer, with Team GB’s Emma Finucane and Germany’s Emma Hinze among those going for gold in the women’s keirin, while home hope Benjamin Thomas is among the contenders in the men’s omnium race.
In all, there are 25 gold medals on offer, making for another day of action across the French capital and beyond that you will not want to miss.
