The stage is set for what promises to be a compelling fortnight of pulsating action and drama, with high hopes for Team GB across the 26 of the 32 sports on show across the Channel.
Some of the competition already kicked off in the week – including football, rugby sevens and shooting – but today marks the official day one of the Games and there is so much to look forward to over the coming hours.
From a British perspective, Michael Bargeron and Seonaid McIntosh will aim to get their hands on Team GB’s first medals of the summer when the mixed air rifle finals get underway this morning.
The shooting finals are then followed by the women’s 3m synchronised diving final in which Team GB pair Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen are targeting medals.
A whole host of Team GB hopefuls will be in action the pool at the Paris La Defense Arena later today, with Adam Peaty and Katie Ledecky competing in the men’s 100m breaststroke and women’s 400m freestyle respectively.
In the road cycling this afternoon, meanwhile, Josh Tarling and Anna Henderson are both being tipped for success.
