    It’s a packed Olympics schedule on Day 13 of the Paris 2024 Games with Team GB keen to add to its medal collection.

    Noah Lyles once again headlines the athletics , hunting double sprint gold in the men’s 200m final following Matt Hudson-Smith’s heartbreaking 400m final silver last night . Great Britain’s heptathlon star Katarina Johnson-Thompson is also in action and started strongly with season’s bests in the 100m hurdles and high jump this morning to lead the standings.

    Earlier, Britain’s Ellie Aldridge became the first ever Olympic gold medallist in kitesurfing with a brilliant performance in Marseille. The discipline, which sees competitors fly above the water at up to 40 knots powered by huge kites, is making its Games debut. And 27-year-old Aldridge, from Dorset, powered her way to gold by winning both races in the final series on Thursday.

    There was disappointment for a clutch of medal contenders elsewhere, though, as diver Jack Laugher missed out in men’s diving 3m springboard final , while sailors Anna Burnet and John Gimson were disqualified from the mixed multi-hull medal race in Marseille.

    Taekwondo star Jade Jones also suffered a shock first-round defeat to end her bid for a historic third gold medal, having entered the Games amid a drugs test controversy earlier this year.
