A staggering 39 golds are up for grabs on the penultimate day of the Paris 2024 Olympics Games.

It will begin on the streets of the capital with the men’s marathon as three Brits will battle it out against the world’s best.

Philip Sesemann became a 2:08 man at the Seville Marathon to secure his spot at Paris, while both Mahamed Mahamed and Emile Cairess qualified after impressive shows of endurance at the London Marathon this year.

Cairess stormed to third in London with a new personal best of 2:06:46 making him the second-fastest British marathon runner of all time. The Olympic men’s record is 2:06:32.



On the track it's a big night with Laura Muir looking to upgrade her 2020 silver in the women's 1500m. 

Meanwhile, on the men's side Max Burgin will be representing Team GB in the 800m final after Jake Wightman had to pull out before the Olympics and Ben Pattison came fourth in his semi-final.

Great Britain will also be involved in the two 4x400m relay finals, having won bronze in both the men's and women's events at last year's World Championships in Budapest.

Away from athletics, weightlifting is set to showcase the talents of the world’s strongest man, Lasha Talakhadze, in the men’s 102kg category.

The Georgian boasts an impressive medal collection, with 16 golds across the Olympics, World and European Championships. Talakhadze will be looking to defend his title, after winning gold at both Rio and Tokyo.

There’s no Team GB in women's football but can the USA - coached by former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes - bounce back from their miserable FIFA World Cup performance to win a title they've won four times in six editions?



The women's final is today at the Parc de Prince, and they'll be facing Brazil in a tough encounter.

At Le Bourget, the home of the climbing, Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret will look to defend her Olympic title whilst young Frenchwoman Oriane Bertone will seek to shine for the host nation.

Keep an eye on the pool, or rather the air above the pool, where British duo Noah Williams and Kyle Kothari will compete in the 10m platform preliminaries with the aim of reaching the final later in the day.

Kothari has defied all odds to get to Paris, with the Londoner missing both Rio and Tokyo due to ruptured Achilles injuries. Williams will have also competed in the men’s 10m synchro earlier in the Games, alongside Tom Daley.

And on the taekwondo mat, Caden Cunningham and Rebecca McGowan go for glory. Heavyweight Cunningham, 21, won European gold earlier this year while McGowan - who edged out two-time Olympic bronze medallist Bianca Cook (nee Walkden) for selection - has won World Championship silver and bronze in this cycle.

What not to miss on Day 15 of the Olympics

Britain's Isabelle Thorpe and Kate Shortman will compete in the artistic swimming, an event where Team GB have never won a medal.

In Tokyo, Thorpe and Shortman finished 14th but two years later soared to duet free routine bronze at the 2023 European Games. They further underlined their podium potential with silver at the recent World Championships.
