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

    Letsile Tebogo stormed to victory in the 200m final to deny Noah Lyles , the 100m champion, a sprint double at the Olympics. Botswana’s Tebogo won a dominant race in 19.46s , with Kenny Bednarek in second and Lyles adding bronze to his 100m gold. Lyles left the track in a wheelchair with the US Track and Field team revealing he ran the race with Covid-19.

    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. She backed up those performances with a personal best in the shot put and a heat winning run in the 200m to lead the standings.

    In cycling, Emma Finucane added to her Paris medal tally following up her gold in the women’s team sprint by clinching bronze in the women’s keirin in the velodrome.

    Earlier, Britain’s Ellie Aldridge became the first ever Olympic gold medallist in kitesurfing with a brilliant performance in Marseille, but there was disappointment for a clutch of medal contenders elsewhere.

    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.

    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.
