Paris 2024 Olympics: How to watch day one live - full schedule and medal events on July 27
Saturday 27 July marks Day 1 of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 – where the very first medals are on offer, and an epic rivalry resumes.
Ariarne Titmus of Australia and the United States' Katie Ledecky go for gold in the 400m freestyle, with the former having beat her rival to the title at Tokyo 2020.
This time around it could well be a spectacular four-way battle with Canada's Summer McIntosh and New Zealand’s Erika Fairweather also in contention, and that will be one of four swimming finals on Saturday evening.
Elsewhere, the men’s rugby sevens reaches its conclusion with back-to-back Olympic champions Fiji facing Australia, and South Africa going up against hosts France in the semi-finals. The gold medal match takes place later on Saturday evening.
There is also gold to be won in the men's street skateboarding final, with Yuto Horigome of Japan back to defend his crown as he aims to fend off challengers including Nyjah Huston of Team USA and France’s Aurélien Giraud.
