The Paris Olympics are under way and Australia will be out to start with a bang as Ariarne Titmus , Sam Short and Elijah Winnington are among those to chase swimming medals . The Dolphins’ men and women will also renew each of their rivalries in the 4x100m freestyle relay events.
Grace Brown will hope to go at least one better after finishing fourth in the women’s individual time trial in Tokyo, while the Boomers face familiar foes Spain in their men’s basketball campaign and the Kookaburras kickstart their men’s hockey campaign.
Here are the Australians to watch on day one at Paris 2024 – all times AEST:
Artistic gymnastics
11.30pm: Men’s qualification: Jesse Moore
Badminton
3.30am: Women’s singles: Tiffany Ho v Beiwen Zhang
4.20am: Women’s doubles: Angela Yu and Setyana Mapasa v Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida
8.30pm: Women’s 10m air pistol qualification: Elena Galiabovitch
Skateboarding
The men’s street skateboarding competition has been postponed due to the weather. A media centre representative said the surface of the street course was too slick due to persistent rain early on Saturday, making conditions unsafe.
Australia’s Shane O’Neill will instead compete in a rescheduled event on 29 July.
