Simone Biles’ bid for a second gymnastics gold of these Paris 2024 Olympics headlines the action on Thursday 1 August.

The Team USA phenom was instrumental in leading the US women's gymnastics team to gold on Tuesday, and she will go for individual glory in the all-around final on Thursday – a title she won at Rio 2016.

Expect Biles to face stiff competition from teammate and reigning champion Sunisa Lee, while Brazil's Rebeca Andrade may have the best chance of denying the Americans.

There are 18 gold medals on offer in total on Thursday, with the athletics programme kicking off with the men’s and women’s 20km race walks in the morning.

In the swimming, there are four more finals on Thursday night, and the 200m men’s backstroke looks a race too close to call as Hungary’s 2023 world champion Hubert Kos takes on Rio 2016 winner Ryan Murphy of the USA.

Meanwhile, Paris 2024 could get even better for Tatjana Smith and Summer McIntosh.

South Africa’s Smith won 100m breaststroke gold and is favourite to win the 200m breaststroke final, while Canada’s McIntosh is out to add the 200m butterfly title – as the two-time defending world champion in that event – to the gold she won in the 400m medley and silver in 400m freestyle.
