It’s the 12th day of the Olympics and an exciting day of action lies ahead.
Team GB is continuing to shine at the 2024 Olympics with Josh Kerr surpassing his opponent Jakob Ingebrigtsen to secure silver in the men’s 1500m event.
Skateboarding star Sky Brown, just 13 years old, astonishingly garnered bronze in the women’s park competition, while Team GB’s cyclists, Jack Carlin, Ed Lowe, and Hamish Turnbull finished second in the men’s team sprint, following the Netherlands.
Lewis Richardson also earned a bronze medal in men’s boxing on Tuesday, narrowly missing out on the semi-finals against Mexico’s Marco Verde.
These achievements have positioned Team GB sixth in the medal rankings, boasting an impressive total of 46 medals – 12 gold, 15 silver, and 19 bronze.
Yet, there are more opportunities to win medals on Wednesday, as Sir Steve Redgrave highlights potential events for Team GB.

Following yesterday’s triumphs in sprint cycling, Team GB’s pursuit squads will be in action today, with the men’s team, including Daniel Bingham, Ethan Hayter, Ethan Vernon, and Ollie Wood – who won gold at the 2022 World Championships – scheduled to race later this afternoon.
The women’s team will also compete on Wednesday, featuring Elinor Barker, Josie Knight, and Anna Morris, all of whom clinched gold at the 2023 World Championships, joined by Jessica Roberts.
Meanwhile, at the Stade de France, Matthew Hudson-Smith aims for gold in the men’s 400m final this evening.
He is eager to redeem himself after missing the Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to injury.
Team GB will also see three athletes competing in the women’s 400m qualifiers around 7:45 PM.
Amber Anning, Laviai Nielson, and Victoria Ohuruogu will participate in the 400m semi-finals.
Sailing events also resume on Wednesday, with John Gimson and Anna Burnet taking part in the mixed multihull race.

Additionally, Michael Beckett sits fourth in the men’s dinghy final, after it was postponed on Tuesday due to adverse weather.
After the remarkable achievement of 13-year-old Sky Brown, who secured bronze in women’s skateboarding on Tuesday, Andy MacDonald will aim to replicate her success by competing in the men’s park preliminaries later this morning, with the final scheduled for this afternoon.
