There are a mammoth 23 gold medals on offer a week into the Paris 2024 Olympics on Friday 2 August.

The men’s 10,000m on Friday evening will whet the appetite ahead of many more athletics golds on offer at the Stade de France in the days to come.

World record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda is the favourite, with the 27-year-old out to upgrade the silver he won in this event at Tokyo 2020.

Expect thrills and spills in the BMX racing finals on Friday evening, with women’s world champion Alise Willoughby among those going for glory.

In the judo, home hope Teddy Riner is out to make it a third Olympic gold in the +100kg, having won at London 2012 and Rio 2016 on top of bronzes in Beijing and Tokyo.

In the swimming pool there are three more finals, with the blink-and-you’ll-miss it men’s 50m freestyle always a must watch, while Australia's Kaylee McKeown is aiming to complete a remarkable double-double.

McKeown defended her 100m backstroke title earlier this week, and will look to do so in the 200m backstroke as well on Friday night.
