Highlights

Two-time Olympic taekwondo champion Jade Jones is hunting a third gold medal from 08:10, with the gold-medal contest at 20:39. Jones won in London and Rio but suffered a shock early exit in Tokyo. Her build-up to Paris has not been perfect, not least a doping case where she avoided a ban over a refused test because of “very exceptional circumstances”. No taekwondo athlete has won three Olympic golds.

World champion Bradly Sinden will be looking to upgrade his Tokyo silver in the men’s taekwondo’s -68kg category.

In the athletics, GB’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson begins her heptathlon quest at 09:05 with the 100m hurdles.

Later, US sprint sensation Noah Lyles will headline the evening session as he goes in the men’s 200m final at 19:30.

Jack Laugher is back in the men’s diving 3m springboard. The final starts at 14:00. Laugher has silver and bronze in this event from the past two Olympics.

In the velodrome, GB’s Ollie Wood and Ethan Hayter both have the experience needed to contend for a medal in the men’s omnium, with Hayter winning the world title in 2021 and 2022. France’s Benjamin Thomas also has multiple world titles to his name and will be targeting this event, which runs over four events starting at 16:00. The women’s keirin could feature double European silver medallist Emma Finucane for GB (from 16:18).

The men’s hockey final takes place at 18:00 between Germany and the Netherlands.
