2024 Paris Olympics LIVE: Team GB’s Charley Hull goes for gold as women’s golf gets underway with medals to be won in athletics, cycling and sailing

Count me in for the speedwalking! Given how I speed past the slowpokes on the streets of London, I’d surely bag a medal.

Spain takes the first gold of the day, though it was accomplished with a leisurely pace.

Maria Perez and Alvaro Martin are seen celebrating their victory in the marathon mixed relay race walk. That’s a moment you’ll remember.

Here’s a look at Cindy Sember’s race from earlier. Future hurdle stars, pay attention!

Despite a slow beginning, the athlete from Michigan has found her rhythm.

Having placed fourth in the 100m hurdles at Rio 2016, she returns stronger than ever.

There’s plenty to feel positive about in the men’s 3m springboard diving.

After two dives, Jack Laugher is in fifth place while Jordan Houlden (featured) sits in seventh. Three divers have already completed three dives, giving them a scoring edge. The top twelve will advance to the final, and things are looking good.

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix was emotional after finishing sixth in the 10m platform event and bravely opened up about a dark time three years ago when she felt she ‘did not want to be alive’.

She is an inspiration to many, as highlighted by her father, celebrity chef Fred Sirieix, and is also a bronze medalist alongside Lois Toulson.

Now, she’s shared a full and emotional message on Instagram. It’s a profound journey.

We’ve got a diverse lineup today across several sports.

• Women’s golf – Charley Hull and Georgia Hall
• Men’s 3m diving springboard semi-final – Jack Laugher and Jordan Houlden
• Men’s boulder and lead semi-final – Hamish McArthur and Toby Roberts
• Men’s 5000m round one – Sam Atkin, Patrick Dever, and George Mills
• Men’s 800m round one – Max Burgin, Elliot Giles, and Ben Pattison

Feeling overwhelmed by the countless events? Let Sir Steve Redgrave be your compass.

In the latest edition of his Olympics Breakfast Briefing, which has become a staple over the last couple of weeks, Redgrave shares insights on the highs and lows of the day for Team GB and gives us a preview of today’s action.

Cindy Sember secured second place in her women’s 100m hurdles heat with a time of 12.72 seconds, signaling a promising start to her day as she advances to the semi-finals.

‘I felt great. I still have more to give, but it was helpful to shake off the nerves. I’m grateful to be here, feeling healthy,’ she told BBC Sport.

‘I’m ready for a medal. I know I can do it. With God’s grace, I’ll be fine.’
