Good morning all and welcome to the second day of the Paris 2024 Olympics. This is your Telegraph live blog bringing you all the action from throughout the day as the City of Lights plays host to everything from Swimming and Sailing to Canoe Slalom and Skateboarding.
Yesterday was Team GB’s most successful opening day at an Olympics in 44 years, with British athletes taking home two medals: Team GB duo Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen claimed bronze in the women’s synchronised 3m springboard, while Anna Henderson took silver in the women’s time trial cycling.
Today sees the likes of Adam Peaty, Andy Murray and Simone Biles in action. Peaty will compete for a third consecutive men’s 100m breaststroke Olympic title and Helen Glover, returning for her fourth Olympics, go for gold after winning big in 2012 and 2016. Glover will compete in the women’s four alongside Rebecca Shorten and ingenues Sam Redgrave and Esme Booth. Archers Penny Healey and Bryony Pitman will also shoot for gold today.
Andy Murray is playing alongside Dan Evans in the men’s doubles in what could be his final ever time on a court. Evans is also in singles action earlier, along with Katie Boulter, Cameron Norrie and Jack Draper.
Elsewhere, China dove and shot their way to the first two gold medals of the fortnight, with France’s rugby sevens outfit securing a popular triumph. However, Day 2 has Australia topping the medal table after an inspiring run.
