The Olympics is set to deliver another day full of thrills and spills as the action rolls on at Paris 2024.

Tom Daley bids for Team GB’s first gold medal on day three of the Olympics as Great Britain’s flagbearer looks to defend his diving title in the men’s synchronised 10m on Monday morning. Daley won gold in this event in Tokyo three years ago but has a new partner in teammate Noah Williams, as the 30-year-old begins his fifth Olympics.

There’s another strong gold medal contender in the cross-country mountain biking as Tom Pidcock also looks to defend his crown in Paris. Team GB added two medals on a dramatic Sunday, as Adam Peaty missed out on a men’s 100m breaststroke by just 0.02 seconds in a heartbreaking finish. Peaty won silver, while Kimberley Woods took home bronze in the canoe slalom.

Elsewhere today one of the biggest clashes of the Olympics will take place in the tennis when Rafael Nadal meets Novak Djokovic in a sensational second-round clash in the men’s singles, while the first of the gymnastics will be awarded in the men’s all-around team final. Simone Biles made a stunning return to the Olympics yesterday and will be back in the women’s team final on Tuesday.

Pinned post: Monday’s highlights and stars to watch

Tom Daley will be an early one to watch with the final of the men’s 10m synchronised diving alongside 24-year-old Noah Williams, while Team GB women’s rugby sevens will have high hopes of a medal too – they are in action in the afternoon in the group stage.

Tom Pidcock is then another with gold-medal potential in the men’s cross–country mountain biking (starts 1.10pm BST). Pidcock stormed to victory in Tokyo after the favourite, Mathieu van der Poel, crashed early in the race. This time Van der Poel is saving himself for the road race, which leaves Pidcock as the man to beat. Two weeks after pulling out of the Tour de France with Covid, can he defend his Olympic title?

Britain have both their men in the 200m freestyle final (7.43pm) after Duncan Scott and Matt Richards made it through their semi-finals, and they go up against the big favourite David Popovici of Romania.

The curious case of Paris’s £150m Olympic Aquatic Centre – which won’t host a single swimming race

07:15 , Lawrence Ostlere

One of the defining features of Paris’s bid to host the Olympic Games was its simplicity: this great city already had the facilities required to host, and so many of the problems associated with building new venues – the spiralling costs, the environmental demands, the white elephants left scattered a decade later – would not be in play. Only one venue needed to be built from scratch: the Aquatics Centre.

The proposal written into the original bid was for an Olympic Aquatics Centre to seat 15,000 spectators, the minimum number required by swimming’s governing body, Fina, for major international events.

It would be based in the deprived northern suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, the second poorest neighbourhood in France, an area of high crime and poverty, of low education and life expectancy, where only 50 per cent of children under 12 can swim. Long after the Games, the venue would leave a lasting legacy.

Olympic triathlon practice cancelled due to pollution in River Seine, less than 24 hours before first race

07:14 , Jamie Braidwood

A second training session for an open-water swimming event at the Olympics has been cancelled due to pollution in the River Seine, with the familiarisation swim for the triathlon scrapped for the second day in a row.

Athletes were scheduled to take the Seine at 8am on Monday morning, but a joint decision from representatives of World Triathlon and the organisation responsible for carrying out water quality tests was made to cancel the swim for health reasons.

The same decision was reached yesterday, and it comes less than 24 hours before the men’s triathlon race in the first competitive open-water swimming event to be held at Paris 2024.

Water quality is linked to the weather and levels of fecal bacteria known as E. coli are measured daily. The latest test, which was taken on Sunday, followed two days of heavy rain in Paris.

South Sudan fans boo Paris Olympics organisers as rival nation’s anthem played by mistake

07:00 , Jamie Braidwood

South Sudan’s men’s basketball team said they were “disrespected” at their Olympics debut after the Paris Games’ organisers played the wrong anthem.

Fans from both teams booed and the South Sudanese players were left visibly upset as the wrong national anthem was played for nearly 20 seconds before their match with Puerto Rico on Sunday.

Instead of South Sudan’s “South Sudan Oyee” anthem, organisers mistakenly played the national anthem of neighbouring Sudan. South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in a 2011 referendum following years of civil war and disputes over their shared borders, as well as natural resources, continued to result in clashes between the two nations.

06:45 , Jamie Braidwood

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are set to face off once again in the second round of the Paris 2024 Olympics in what will be the 60th competitive meeting between the pair.

Nadal opened the tournament with a battling win over Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics, a day after he won his opening match with Spain team-mate Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s doubles.

Helen Glover feels that being chosen as flagbearer has boosted her hopes of becoming the first British mum-of-three to win an Olympic medal.

The 38-year-old got her campaign off to a perfect start, combining with Rebecca Shorten, Sam Redgrave and Esme Booth for a smooth victory in the heats of the women’s four.

The eyes of the world were on Simone Biles again. Three years after the “twisties” of Tokyo, the greatest gymnast of all time returned to continue her remarkable Olympics story.

Kimberley Woods says Paris bronze medal feels ‘absolutely incredible’

05:45 , Jamie Braidwood

Kimberley Woods’ Olympic bronze medal-winning redemption took less than 150 seconds to confirm, but the wait felt like an eternity for the Rugby kayaker.

The 28-year-old, who three summers ago in Tokyo was visibly distraught after incurring 56 seconds worth of penalties for a bottom finish in her maiden Olympic final, was sitting in third position with just one competitor left who could knock her off the Paris podium – defending champion Ricarda Funk, the fastest finisher from the afternoon’s semis.

Adam Peaty suffers heartbreak at Paris Olympics after falling agonisingly short of historic gold treble

05:15 , Jamie Braidwood

It is not the fairytale ending for Adam Peaty. A joint-silver medal in Paris, behind Italy’s Nicolo Martinenghi in what developed into a slow race that came down to pure timing at the wall.

Peaty must have thought he had won it, holding off world champion Qin Haiyang, only for a tight finish to snatch a victory that would have seen him join Michael Phelps as the only men to win three consecutive gold medals at the Olympics in individual events.

Disappointment, of course, but do not underestimate how the British great has seized victory from the most improbable position following the Tokyo Olympics.

One of Team GB’s top medal contenders in action on Monday is Tom Pidcock, with the multi-talented cyclist defending his mountain bike gold. Pidcock’s Tour de France was ended prematurely by Covid, but it’s the course on which he will try to retain his crown that has caused frustration ahead of race day in Paris…
