    Team GB eye more medals at the Olympics on Day 11 of Paris 2024 following a superb gold from Keely Hodgkinson to win the women’s 800m final at the Stade de France in Paris .

    After Simone Biles won an 11th Olympic medal to end her redemption tour, today’s action sees Great Britain’s athletics captain Josh Kerr in the men’s 1500m tonight when the world champion battles Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the latest meeting of a bitter rivalry.

    There’s more action at the velodrome later, too, with Team GB’s men’s team sprint trio looking to follow Katy Marchant, Emma Finucane and Sophie Capewell’s excellent gold against New Zealand yesterday, while Lewis Richardson returns to the ring on a packed night of boxing. Meanwhile, teenager Sky Brown features in the skateboarding as she attempts to push through a shoulder injury to medal again after a breakthrough bronze in Tokyo.

    Earlier, Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix missed out on another diving medal as China’s Quan Hongchan won a dominant gold to defend her title. There was also disappointment for Scott Brash and Ben Maher in the individual showjumping final.
