The fastest women in the world take centre stage at the Stade de France as Sha’Carri Richardson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Dina Asher-Smith and the rest vie for 100 metres glory (8.20pm BST). Asher-Smith’s hopes of a first individual Olympic podium finish have been boosted by the withdrawal of Shericka Jackson, but look out for Julien Alfred, who could win St Lucia’s first medal in history.

The final day of rowing at Vaires-sur-Marne with the men’s and women’s eights the last boats in the water— can the British men’s crew (10.10am) return to the top of the podium after missing out in Tokyo?

Over at La Defense Arena, meanwhile, Katie Ledecky is all but certain to win Olympic gold number nine in the 800 metres freestyle, a distance she has dominated for so long, but the mixed medley relay (8.33pm) could be a cracker, particularly if Great Britain can call upon Adam Peaty.

And the men’s road race (10am) will see the peloton test themselves on a tricky course weaving around Paris. The lumps, bumps, cobbles and climbs could favour home home Julian Alaphilippe or dynamite Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel — though Tom Pidcock can’t be ruled out as he swaps disciplines after mountain bike success.

Now that we’ve had a look back at day seven, it’s time to look forward to Saturday’s action.

Here are the British athletes who will be in action in the morning.

Equestrian: Team dressage (Becky Moody, Carl Hester, Charlotte Frey) – 9am

Rowing: Women’s eight (Heidi Long, Roan McKellar, Holly Dunford, Emily Ford, Lauren Irwin, Eve Stewart, Hattie Taylor, Annie Campbell-Orde, Henry Fieldman [cox])- 9.50am

Rowing: Men’s eight (Sholto Carnegie, Rory Gibbs, Morgan Bolding, Jacob Dawson, Charlie Elwes, Tom Digby, James Rudkin, Tom Ford, Harry Brightmore [cox]) – 10.10am

Sailing: Women’s windsurfing (Emma Wison) – event delayed from Friday and due to start 11.13am if conditions allow

In the minutes before Teddy Riner entered the arena, Paris 2024 volunteers filled the aisles with phones set to record and security guards peered in from the gangways, trying to snatch a glimpse. A mob of photographers jostled for position at the edge of the tatami, and around them every seat inside the Grand Palais Ephemere was filled.

Then he arrived, all 6ft 8in and 23 stone of him, marching towards the stage as music blared and the fans screeched. Riner is a legend of judo and an icon of France. Here, in his hometown, he is adored like a benevolent king.

Ben Proud claimed the one medal missing from his collection as he bagged Olympic silver in the men’s 50 metres freestyle final.

Proud has won world, European and Commonwealth titles in his decorated career but he has had a couple of near misses for a podium spot at the Olympics – fourth at Rio 2016 and joint fifth at Tokyo 2020.

In Emily Craig’s house, there is a picture of the agonising photo finish that shows her and Imogen Grant missing an Olympic medal by just 0.01 seconds.

But in the city of Monet, Degas, and Chagall, they created their own masterpiece with a sensational gold medal in the “grand finale” of a three-year revenge tour.

Craig and Grant were dominant in the women’s lightweight pair final as British Rowing celebrated a sixth medal of these comeback Games, already four more than they managed in Tokyo.

To those of you looking to find out what happened on day seven of the Olympic Games, here is a quick recap from a British perspective:

It has been a brilliant day as far as the medal table is concerned, Britain have added three golds, three silvers and a bronze.

Harry Charles, alongside his father’s former teammates Scott Brash and Ben Maher won team show jumping gold at the Palace of Versailles.

Emily Craig and Imogen Grant secured gold in women’s lightweight double sculls, coming back after the heartbreak of Tokyo to stand at the top of the podium.

Bryony Page won Britain’s first trampolining gold medal, as she now has a medal of every colour.

So we’ve had a look at the gold medals Britain won on day seven, but now it’s time to look at the silvers:

It was a late defeat for Tom George and Oliver Wynne-Griffith. The pair had been one of Team GB’s gold medal hopes, and led for the majority of the race, but were just beaten at the line by Croatia, who won by 0.45 seconds.

In the evening it was time again to shift attention to the pool, where there were two silver medals, one for Ben Proud in the 50m freestyle, and one for Duncan Scott, who finished second to Leon Marchand in the 200m individual medley.
