Today in 60 seconds at the Paris 2024 Olympics – who is Team GB’s best hope for gold on DAY 2 of the Olympics? And when to watch Andy Murray’s possible final match and Simone Biles’ return to the Games

The Paris 2024 Olympics have officially begun after a rainy and somewhat disorganized opening ceremony. With the first day complete, Team GB has already secured two medals.

Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen earned bronze in the women’s 3m synchronized diving during an exciting competition at the newly built £150 million Olympic Aquatic Centre in Seine-Saint-Denis, which will not host any swimming events.

The British duo secured their place on the podium following a late misstep from the Australian team.

Anna Henderson garnered Britain’s second medal of the day, claiming silver in the women’s road cycling time trial under challenging weather conditions.

With many more medal events on the horizon, Mail Sport previews some key fixtures for Sunday.

Adam Peaty aims for his third consecutive Olympic gold in the 100m breaststroke final.

Andy Murray and Dan Evans are set to face Japan’s Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori in a men’s doubles match at Roland Garros, which might be Murray’s last match.

After a challenging Tokyo 2020, American gymnastics star Simone Biles returns to the Olympics aiming to add to her impressive tally of medals.

Prominent Gold Medal Contender

Adam Peaty is on track to become only the second man in history, after the legendary Michael Phelps, to win the same swimming event at three successive Games. The 100m breaststroke final is set for 8:54 PM. He holds the world record.

Key British Athletes to Watch

International Star

Simone Biles returns to the Olympic stage after her turbulent experience in Tokyo, where she dealt with the twisties and stepped back from many competitions. The 27-year-old athlete, who holds 27 world and Olympic titles, will participate in the women’s qualifying starting at 10:40 AM.

Coventry-born Chelsie Giles claimed Team GB’s first medal at the Tokyo 2020 Games and aspires to advance on her podium finish in Paris.
