Day three at the 2024 Olympics is set to be a busy one, with 18 gold medals being up for grabs in a wide range of events.

One of those will be the Men's Synchronised 10m Platform, which Tom Daley and diving partner Noah Williams will be competing in.

Daley is Britain’s most well-known diver, starting his Olympic journey at just 14 when he became his nation's second-youngest male Olympian.

The pair will be looking to retain Great Britain’s crown in the event after Daley and then-partner Matty Lee won gold in Tokyo.

Elsewhere in the pool, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott are set to go head-to-head in a stacked men’s 200m freestyle final while it could also be a big night for Team USA’s swimmers.

Four-time Olympic champion Ryan Murphy is looking to regain his crown in the men’s 100m backstroke, having earned bronze in Tokyo, with Lilly King in exactly the same situation in the women’s 100m breaststroke.

Seonaid Mcintosh will be out for revenge in the women’s 10m rifle following her 12th place finish in Tokyo, just short of a place in the final.

Since then, the Scottish shooter - a world champion in 2018 - represented Team GB at the 2023 European Games, winning bronze in her preferred 50m event.

In the majestic backdrop of the Palace of Versailles, all eyes will be on the jumps course as the British delegation takes to the Olympic arena in both the individual and team show jumping finals.

For the team final, the British riders will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing finish in Tokyo where they fell four places outside of medal contention.

Ros Canter, Laura Collett, Yasmin Ingham, and Tom McEwen are charged with improving that showing while they will also have their sights set on individual medals later in the day.

For gymnastics enthusiasts, all attention will be turned to the Bercy Arena as the men’s team final takes centre stage.

Britain’s band of hopefuls include former world champion Joe Fraser, Games veteran Max Whitlock, a three-time gold medallist, and Jake Jarman, among Team GB’s most exciting Olympic debutants.



The men’s team finished fifth in Tokyo but showed their podium potential with a fourth place at the most recent World Championships in Antwerp, having earned bronze on home soil in Liverpool in 2022.

You can never underestimate the South Koreans in archery, and they will be going for their third straight gold medal in the men’s team event.

They have been masters of the bow and arrow for a long time, having been the best-performing nation at the last nine Olympic Games.

The unrelated pair of Conor Hall and Tom Hall, along with Alex Wise, will represent Great Britain.



What not to miss on day 3 of the Olympics

The men’s 200m freestyle is packed with potential gold medallists. Matt Richards and Duncan Scott fly the British flag while 19-year-old Romanian David Popovici has burst onto the scene in this cycle and won World Championship gold in this event in 2022.
