The women’s 100m final headlines a packed day at the Paris 2024 Olympics where a staggering 29 gold medals are on offer.

Sha'Carri Richardson is the favourite to win the 100m on her Olympic debut, with Julien Alfred and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce among the sprinters out to deny the American.

That is one of five medal events in the athletics track and field on Saturday night, while there is plenty of action away from the Stade de France.

Gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles bids for a third gold at Paris 2024 in the afternoon, going in the women’s vault final.

The cycling men’s road race starts in the morning, with Mathieu van der Poel, Remco Evenepoel and Wout van Aert among the riders in contention.

The penultimate night of action in the swimming pool includes Katie Ledecky in the 800m freestyle going for a ninth gold overall.

Over in Tahiti, the surfers are scheduled to compete in both finals, making for an enthralling day of Olympic action in Paris, across other venues in France, and 10,000 miles away on the daunting Teahupoʻo wave.
