    The Olympics continues with Team GB ’s focus remaining on the track at both the athletics and the cycling on day 12 of Paris 2024 .

    Matthew Hudson-Smith ’s form in his 400m semi-final marked him as a gold medal contender ahead of tonight’s final at the Stade de France - following memorable medals for Keely Hodgkinson and Josh Kerr over the past two nights - and he came so close to victory before being pipped to gold by Quincy Hall at the line, silver the reward for Hudson-Smith.

    Great Britain have also made a great start in the velodrome and added further success on Wednesday in the team pursuit . The men’s team took silver as Australia claimed gold, while the women’s team led by Elinor Barker claimed bronze earlier this afternoon.

    Last night, American Cole Hocker stunned world champion Kerr and reigning Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win a sensational 1500m gold, while Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita missed out on a medal in the women’s 200m final by the barest of margins .

    This morning, golf resumed Le National as the women’s strokeplay competition got underway. Charley Hull and Georgia Hall are Great Britain’s contenders, but the favourite is the world’s best player this year : USA’s Nelly Korda.
