THE Paris 2024 Olympics are now well underway as we head into a huge day nine.
SunSport brings you all the action taking place in the French capital on a thrilling day.
What’s on at the Olympics today?
TODAY’S BRIT MEDAL HOPES
Jake Jarman follows his floor final yesterday with today’s vault final – the Peterborough ace is the world champion (3.25pm) while Becky Downie goes in the uneven bars (2.40pm).
Barcelona 1992 star Laura Fry’s daughter Lottie will be desperate for a medal in the dressage grand prix freestyle individual (9am).
Tommy Fleetwood heads into the final round of the golf in bronze, one shot off leaders Jon Rahm and Tokyo winner Xander Schauffele (11.30am).
BRITS TO WATCH
Lizzie Deignan becomes the first female British cyclist to be selected for four Olympics and is one of four Team GB stars in the road race (1pm).
Amber Rutter goes for skeet gold (qualifying 8.30am, final 2.30pm) just four months after giving birth to her first child in April.
And it’s Team GB vs India in the men’s hockey quarter-final (9am) – a repeat of their clash in Tokyo which India won 3-1.
GLOBAL STARS TODAY
In a blockbuster men’s singles tennis final, Carlos Alcaraz is the only man standing between Novak Djokovic and the Career Golden Slam (1pm).
And it is arguably the biggest race of the entire athletics programme with the men’s 100m final (8.55pm) – Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo are among the favourites but Zharnel Hughes could threaten for GB.
FANCY SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
There is all sorts going on at the Marseille Marina in the sailing today.
We’ve got a bit of everything including mixed multihull, the dinghy and kite races.
STATS MAD
Little Fatty – Chinese table tennis sensation Zhendong Fan won silver in the men’s singles in Tokyo but can go one better in today’s final. His nickname is Xiao Pang which translates as ‘Little Fatty’ – bit harsh…
