Olympics LIVE: Team GB target equestrian gold before Sky Brown skateboards and Josh Kerr battles Jakob Ingebrigtsen

Britain’s team jumping heroes Ben Maher, Scott Brash and Harry Charles will all have a shot at individual gold on the final day of equestrian action at the Chateau de Versailles at 10am (9am BST).

The trio, plus horses Dallas Vegas Batilly, Jefferson and Romeo 88, caused a minor surprise in winning Friday’s team prize, but that success ranks them among the leading contenders in a 30-strong field.

Maher is the defending individual champion and with three golds to his name, having also been part of the winning team in 2012, another victory would see him become the most successful British equestrian at the Olympics.

The British squad has enjoyed a fantastic Games so far, with the eventing team also winning gold and the dressage team taking bronze, with Laura Collett and Charlotte Fry taking individual bronzes.

Joe Clarke and Kimberley Woods claimed silver and bronze medals respectively as kayak cross made a wet and wild entry onto the Olympic programme in front of packed grandstands in the Nautical Stadium at Vaires-sur-Marne.

Clarke, who went into the event as a heavy favourite with three world titles to his name, had to settle for second throughout in a relatively straightforward four-man final behind Finn Butcher of New Zealand.

Woods, the reigning world champion, had blazed through her quarter and semi-finals in first place and looked set to also dominate her final as she led at the half-way point.

She’s human after all. Simone Biles settled for fifth in the beam final in Paris, before returning to deliver a mesmeric floor routine to claim a silver medal in what could be her final ever appearance at the Olympics.

A captivated audience locked in on Biles’ final two performances of these enthralling Games, with the American superstar initially slipping off the perilous beam to miss out on a medal. But the gutsy Biles would return, with her trademark tumbling enough for an 11th Olympic medal behind only Brazil’s brilliant Rebeca Andrade in the floor final.

A dislocated shoulder is not going to deny 16-year-old Sky Brown the chance to become Great Britain’s youngest ever Olympic champion.

Brown will go for gold in the women’s skateboard park final in Paris despite sustaining the injury in training late last month.

The precocious Brown won a bronze medal on her Games debut in Tokyo in 2021 and victory at last year’s world championships in Sharjah makeher one of the favourites in the French capital – injury permitting. The prelims start at 12.30pm (11.30am BST).

Keely Hodgkinson crossed the line and for the first time all night didn’t know what to do. She looked up at the board, just to check, then she glanced up again, just to make sure. What she saw made her features wobble: at last, Hodgkinson had won gold, and Great Britain’s latest athletics star had her crowning moment at the Olympics.

Hodgkinson came to Paris with the intent of upgrading the silver she claimed in Tokyo three years ago, of ending the cycle of second-place finishes at major competitions. As she won a stunning 800m gold with a smart race and a gutsy, determined finish at the Stade de France, the 22-year-old delivered, the talent becoming a champion.

They still held hands, beamed wide smiles, and stepped onto the podium as one. Not for gold, despite leading for the majority of the race, or for silver, despite being initially declared runners-up, but for bronze, third in a three-team sprint finish separated by one-hundredth of a second on the line. A golden morning in Paris turned into devastation for Great Britain, as the reigning champions in the triathlon mixed relay lost their crown and settled for the minor medal by the barest of margins.

The result was changed after an investigation. A review of the photo finish quickly found Beth Potter was beaten to second by the indefatigable American Taylor Knibb after Germany’s Laura Lindemann sprinted to the gold that had been within Team GB’s grasp for so long. They had set out hard, with Alex Yee, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Sam Dickinson and then Potter stretching Great Britain’s lead to 12 seconds before the world champion was reeled in on the bike and fell behind on the run.

Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita – athletics, women’s 200m (8.40pm)

Josh Kerr’s 1500m final showdown with Jabok Ingebrigtsen has been dubbed a “race for the ages” and is perhaps the highlight of the entire athletics schedule at these Olympics. Kerr is the world champion and bronze medallist from Tokyo while Ingebrigtsen is the reigning Olympic champion – there is also no love lost between the pair, which only adds to what should be an epic at the Stade de France.

Elsewhere in the athletics, the women’s 200m final is set to feature the new 100m champion Julian Alfred, as well as American star Gabby Thomas. Great Britain’s Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith will hope to go through and join them.

It was a record-breaking opening day at the track cycling and the men’s team sprint side will look to follow the women’s gold. Jack Carlin, Edward Lowe and Hamish Turnbull.

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix targets a second Olympic diving medal in the individual 10m final, having won synchro bronze along with

Sky Brown won bronze in Tokyo at the age of just 13, and the now 16-year-old targets a second Olympic medal in the final of the women’s park.

Team GB won gold in the equestrian team jumping earlier in the Games, and Ben Maher, Harry Charles and Scott Brash now go for individual gold in the jumping final.

Elsewhere, Lewis Richardson is guaranteed a bronze medal already in the men’s light middleweight. In the semi-finals, he goes for either bronze or silver against Mexico’s Marco Verde.

Qin Haiyang appeared to hit back at comments from rival Adam Peaty as he declared any “doubt” around China’s swimming golds at Paris 2024 is a “joke”.

Qin was implicated in a report from the New York Times published before the Olympics which claimed that the World Anti-Doping agency (Wada) took no action when 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for the banned performance enhancing drug trimetazidine (TMZ) in 2021.

The swimmers were allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics when Wada accepted the findings of a Chinese investigation that the results were due to contamination from a hotel kitchen, and 11, including the 25-year-old Qin, have competed in Paris.

The world champion in the 100m and 200m breaststroke was unable to win individual medals at the Olympics but was part of the China team that raced to gold in the 4x100m medley relay on Sunday night – which was followed by explosive comments from Peaty.
