2024 Paris Olympics LIVE: Adam Peaty and Katie Boulter both in action for Team GB as the first medals of the Games are to be awarded as USA’s Katie Ledecky can become the most successful female swimmer of all time

Ben Lane and Sean Vendy secured a tight first game against Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, winning it 21-19.

However, it’s a best-of-three match, so their task is not over yet.

With a projected 63 medals for England in Paris, there are numerous potential heroes on the horizon.

Who is most likely to achieve a gold medal? And what are our experts’ most cherished Olympic memories?

Great Britain has increased their lead against Spain, with Gareth Furlong netting his fifth international goal. Amazing performance!

A memorable moment for Nick Park as he scores first for Team GB against Spain, achieving the distinction of being the inaugural hockey scorer at the Paris 2024 Olympics, near the first quarter’s end.

Keely Hodgkinson embraces the comparisons to Jessica Ennis-Hill, stating she feels ‘honored’ to be seen as a ‘poster girl’ for Team GB’s middle-distance aspirations.

She commented: ‘If people view me as a poster girl like Jessica Ennis-Hill then that is quite an achievement. I’m honored to be in this position and it’s a significant tribute to follow her legacy. I hope to replicate her success and earn a gold.’

Great Britain’s men’s hockey team plays their first match in Pool A against Spain. This is their opening game in the group stage, with a total of five matches to compete.

Team GB successfully reached the quarter-finals last time and is positioned well to improve upon that.

The first event postponement has occurred at the Games!

Following heavy rainfall last night, the ground has been judged too wet for skaters. They’ll need to wait two days before getting started. Waiting while anxious is no fun!

Our experts, Oliver Holt and Ian Herbert, shared their thoughts on last night’s uniquely unconventional opening ceremony.

In the first ceremony away from an arena, my least favorite moment was witnessing a semi-clad, Smurf-colored figure in an awkward position surrounded by fruit. Not a fan of that segment…
