Olympics 2024 LIVE: Tom Daley targets Team GB’s first gold medal in diving final after Adam Peaty heartbreak and Andy Murray’s thrilling win

Tom Daley will be an early one to watch with the final of the men’s 10m synchronised diving alongside 24-year-old Noah Williams, while Team GB women’s rugby sevens will have high hopes of a medal too – they are in action in the afternoon in the group stage.

Tom Pidcock is then another with gold-medal potential in the men’s cross–country mountain biking (starts 1.10pm BST). Pidcock stormed to victory in Tokyo after the favourite, Mathieu van der Poel, crashed early in the race. This time Van der Poel is saving himself for the road race, which leaves Pidcock as the man to beat. Two weeks after pulling out of the Tour de France with Covid, can he defend his Olympic title?

Britain have both their men in the 200m freestyle final (7.43pm) after Duncan Scott and Matt Richards made it through their semi-finals, and they go up against the big favourite David Popovici of Romania.

In the first set, Chinese Taipei started off with a 10, following it up with two nines, while the Brits were not much further behind with an eight and two nines.

Chinese Taipei have won the first set, despite hitting a seven from their final arrow.

Japan have booked their place in the quarter-finals and now it will be the British team’s turn to try and join them.

The two teams have just made their way out. Chinese Taipei were silver medallists in Tokyo 2020 and have a world ranking of three compared to Britain’s 18.

Next up for team GB is an archery eliminator against Chinese Taipei, the match before between Mexico and Japan is just into its second set and then it will be the British team to take to the stand.

We will also be bringing you the latest from the shooting trap men’s qualification, and the rowing where the men’s and women’s 8s will be in action later this morning.

Gilmour did not even need to take the game to the third set, after a close opening start to the second, she stormed ahead, winning 21-11.

Having already won the first one to 13, she has secured her first victory in the 2024 Paris Games.

She won nine consecutive points and was ahead from the start and never let that advantage come close to slipping.

After the victory, she turned to the camera, waved, and said: “Hi Mum” as she made her way off the court.

The second game has been a bit closer between the two, but there was a brief pause after the Azerbaijan player slopped and fell with the score 9-7 in favour of Gilmour.

Gilmour challenged a call at 10-7, for a ball being called out, but it was upheld by the review system. And at the break she held an 11-8 lead.

Here are just some of the things to look out for first thing this morning on day three of the Olympics:

• 10am-11am: Men’s synchro 10m platform: final

• 10am-3.30pm: Eventing jumping: team and individual finals

• 8.30am-11.20am: Men’s single sculls, women’s single sculls: semi-finals E/F; men’s coxless pairs, women’s pairs, men’s lightweight double sculls, women’s lightweight double sculls, men’s quadruple sculls, women’s quadruple sculls: repechage; Men’s eight, women’s eight: heats

• 8.15am-12.05pm: Mixed team 10m air pistol: qualification; men’s and women’s 10m air rifle: finals

Gilmour has kept up her momentum and takes the first game 21-13, which puts her in good stead in the first match of the day.

She will want to take that momentum into the second game.

There is no perfect way to call time, no method of looking into the future to see the end of the script that has been written for you. Except, in a way, there is: “The final match of Andy Murray’s career came in a painful defeat in the Olympics men’s doubles, alongside Dan Evans on a half-full court at Roland Garros,” wrote a certain reporter, sitting in the stands at Suzanne-Lenglen. “Despite a late rally to force a deciding tiebreak, Murray and Evans were an inexperienced doubles pair and it showed in a 6-2 6-7 (5-7) (10/4) first-round defeat to Japan’s Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel,” the draft continued, waiting to be sent.

That was on the first match point. Then came the next. And another. Until, somehow, Murray and Evans had saved all five, ripping up the reports that had already been written about them. Not yet. Not tonight. Instead, Murray extended his career and his final tournament at Paris 2024.

This is Kirsty Gilmour’s first match of the games, while her opponent has already lost her opening game.

The British player will serve first, and claimed the first point straight away.

Gimour went on to get to the first interval 11-6 ahead.
