Olympics LIVE: Women’s 100m headlines big athletics night as Adam Peaty and Katie Ledecky in swimming action

There are 27 gold medals up for grabs on day eight of the Olympics as Team GB look to extend their record start to Paris 2024 on what is already turning into a super Saturday.

Simone Biles was back in action and dominated proceedings to grab her third gold of the Games with a scintillating performance in the vault final , after Jake Jarman claimed bronze in the men’s floor final when Luke Whitehouse was unable to knock his team-mate off the podium. However, Max Whitlock agonisingly missed out on a medal by finishing fourth in the pommel horse as he failed to claim a historic third straight gold medal but rides into retirement as an Olympic legend.

It was the final day of rowing this morning and Great Britain ended a hugely successful regatta by claiming a superb gold in the men’s eight and taking a creditable bronze medal in the women’s eight. Emma Wilson then added bronze in the women’s windsurfing as she dominated the class all week but could only come third in the medal race, while Remco Evenepoel added men’s road race gold to his time trial victory last weekend.

The women’s 100m final is the pick of the late action where Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita hoping to challenge the might of the USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson and Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price.

And the swimming is set to produce another night of drama with Katie Ledecky looking to continue her dominance of the 800m free and Great Britain able to field a strong side in the mixed 4x100m medley relay – especially if Adam Peaty has sufficiently recovered from Covid to be selected.
