All the Team GB competitors you can watch at the Olympics today

Peaty goes for gold!

Day one lived up to everyone’s loftiest of expectations as Great Britain kicked-off in style bringing home two medals – a bronze in the diving and a silver in cycling.

Day two will hopefully provide more of the same excitement with a whole host of events for GB to compete in.

Many athletes will be taking part in events that have already begun with the sailing set to become the latest competition to get under way with British interest.

The day will commence once again with the shooting as Britain’s women take on the 10m air rifle qualification at 8:15am.

The trend of firing projectiles at long range targets continues 15 minutes later at 8:30am when Team GB’s women start in their Archery team event.

Chelsie Giles will be on the Judo mats at sometime from 9am looking to match or go one better than the bronze she won at Tokyo 2020.

Ben Lane and Sean Vendy will return at 9:10am in their second group stage match against China.

At 9:30am GB rowers will return in the women’s pair with the men going in the same discipline half an hour later with both crews looking to qualify through the heats and Kimberley Woods features in canoe slalom’s K1 event.

From on the water to in the water, Duncan Scott and Matthew Richards will be competing in the 200m freestyle heats at 10am.

Scott from Scotland is a six-time Olympic medallist who will be looking to expand his impressive medal collection in the coming weeks.

Continuing on from the start of the swimming, there will be British interest in the men’s 400m individual medley, women’s 100m breaststroke and men’s 100m backstroke.

Once again turning back to the rowing, Imogen Grant and Emily Craig, who hold the world best time this year in the women’s lightweight double sculls and are the incumbent world champions, will be racing their first heat.

Meanwhile Team GB will be competing in the women’s and men’s coxless fours at 10:30am and 10:50am respectively with rowing legend and GB flag bearer Helen Glover in the women’s boat.

Michael Bargeron will be going through qualification in the men’s 10m air rifle at 10:15am while Emma Wilson will compete in the windsailing just after 11:10am.

Wilson won bronze in Tokyo and will be another eventual medal hope for Team GB.

Action then turns to the boxing ring at 11:50am when Rosie Eccles will go toe-to-toe with Aneta Rygielska in the women’s 66kg boxing category.

At 12pm Anna Hursey will face-off with India’s Manika Batra in the table tennis women’s round of 64.

In the hockey the women will be playing a repeat of the men’s opening game a day prior as they play Spain in pool B at 12:15pm.

The women are one of Team GB’s biggest medal hopes of the day reaching the podium in all three of the last Olympic games.

At 12:40pm it will be the men’s turn in the windsurfing as Sam Sills, who lived out of a van to make his Olympic dream become a reality, takes to the bay of Marseille.

At 13.10 former world champion Evie Richards heads the Team GB hopes in the women’s cross-country mountain bike event.

A huge showdown will follow at 14:30 in the women’s rugby sevens as GB take on Ireland in their first group game at the Stade de France.

Eyes will then turn back to the bay of Marseille where both the British men and women will be taking part in the skiff at 14:35 and 14:45 respectively.

After a rammed morning and early afternoon of Olympic competition, an almost four-hour break will slow down proceedings until 18:30 when GB’s women’s rugby sevens team play their second group game against Australia.

Later, at 19:15, GB’s men’s hockey team will continue their group game stage as they take on South Africa in a tough matchup.

Patrick James Brown will be in action in the 92kg men’s boxing.

Though Andy Murray has pulled out of the singles competition at Paris, he is still competing in the doubles alongside Dan Evans. They are scheduled to face Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori in the last game of the day.

Before that, Evans, Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie and Katie Boulter are all in singles action.

The day will reach a dramatic climax for Team GB in the pool this evening as Adam Peaty goes for a historic third consecutive men’s 100m breaststroke Olympic title, with the final due to start at 8.44pm.
