Paris 2024 delivered a thrilling first day of the Olympics, with Sunday delivering another huge programme of events.
Sunday’s highlights and stars to watch
Simone Biles returns to Olympic action after a troubling time at Tokyo 2020, where she suffered from ‘the twisties’.
The American superstar takes part in the women’s qualification in artistic gymnastics, where she is a hot favourite after making her return last year following a hiatus from the sport to focus on her mental health.
Adam Peaty bids to make history, hoping to join Michael Phelps as the only men to three-peat in an individual Olympic event. He faces a tough challenge in the 100m breaststroke final with China’s Qin Haiyang a formidable swimmer after winning the 50m, 100m and 200m world titles last year.
Elsewhere in the pool, Frenchman Leon Marchand looks to become one of the faces of the Games when he swims the 400m IM, with Max Litchfield also in action. Matt Richards and Duncan Scott feature in the men’s 200m freestyle semi-finals, as does Romanian star David Popovici.
Andy Murray could play his final tennis match as a professional when he partners Dan Evans in the men’s doubles against Japan’s Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori.
Welterweight Rosie Eccles is in the ring for Team GB, boxing Aneta Rygielska and Great Britain feature in the women’s hockey too. LeBron James, Steph Curry and a host of NBA superstars face Serbia and the two-time MVP Nikola Jokic in the men’s basketball.
And world champions Spain face Nigeria in the women’s football looking to extend their dominance to the Olympics.
If the weather clears up, there will also be a thrilling battle in skateboarding women’s street final as Brazil’s Rayssa Leal, a silver medalist aged 13 in Tokyo, battles Japanese duo Akama Liz, 15, and 14-year-old world No.1 Yoshizawa Coco.
