Paris 2024 Day 1 preview – The first medals are handed out!
Competition begins in earnest today with the first medals expected to be decided shortly before 12 noon local time!
Here’s what to look out for today:
The first set of medals of the Games will be awarded in shooting, as has been the case at every summer Olympic Games since Munich 1972; in Paris it will be awarded in the mixed team 10m air rifle event at the Châteauroux Shooting Centre.
There are 14 medal events on the first full day of competition, including the conclusion of the men’s rugby sevens tournament which began on Day -2. Surfing is due to begin (7am local, 7pm in Paris). Here are some events to watch:
Basketball – All eyes on hosts France
The men’s basketball competition begins at the Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille on Day 1, and the hosts France – silver medallists last time out in Tokyo behind the USA – are in action.
At 5:15pm, they face Brazil as they begin their search of what would be a popular gold medal.
Also in action are Australia, Germany, Japan, and Canada, plus two other qualifiers – but not the U.S., who don’t start until Day 2.
Diving – People’s Republic of China begin hunt for gold sweep
In Tokyo, the People’s Republic of China won seven out of the eight gold medals available in diving, with Tom Daley and Matty Lee’s 10m platform synchro win for Team GB ending the attempted sweep.
The Chinese quest to win all eight gold medals in the sport begins on Day 1 with the women’s 3m springboard synchro (11am), an event in which Shi Tingmao and Wang Han won gold in Tokyo. This year, the reigning world champions Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen will look to claim their first Olympic title.
Skateboarding – Horigome goes for back-to-back golds
It was a challenge, but Yuto Horigome, the defending champion in men’s street skateboarding, eked through to qualify for Paris 2024 by winning the last Olympic Qualifier Series event in Budapest. It means he gets a shot at remaining the only man to have won gold in his event on Day 1 (semi-finals at 12pm, final at 5pm).
He comes up against the likes of his 14-year-old teammate Onodera Ginwoo and the U.S. stars Jagger Eaton and Nyjah Huston, among others; the home French charge will be led by Aurélien Giraud, Joseph Garbaccio, and Vincent Milou.
