    Day six of the Olympics saw the return of Andy Murray and Simone Biles on an action-packed day at Paris 2024 .

    Team USA superstar Biles landed a second gymnastics gold of the Games following her team all-around gold on Tuesday, rising above the star-studded individual competition. Biles beat out the majestic Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, who claimed silver, with reigning champion and teammate Sunisa Lee settling for bronze.

    Murray is back on court at Roland Garros with Dan Evans and the British pair take on Americans Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz looking to continue their thrilling Olympic ride .

    Team GB added to their medal tally at the rowing by picking up three more this morning. Flagbearer Helen Glover agonisingly missed out on a historic gold in the women’s coxless four as the British boat was edged into silver by the Netherlands on the line , while GB also took bronze medals in the men’s coxless four and the women’s double sculls. There was disappointment for Joe Clarke later at Vaires-sur-Marne, though, as the kayaker failed to repeat his 2016 triumph, finishing fifth in the K1.

    Elsewhere, the athletics kicked off with the race walks in central Paris, while i n the swimming , superstars Tatjana Smith (200m breaststroke) and Canada’s Summer McIntosh (200m butterfly) headline the evening session at La Defense Arena.
