Day 13 at the Paris Olympics: Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Jade Jones in action

Great Britain surpassed the 1,000 medal mark across summer and winter Olympics on Wednesday, and now go in search of adding to their tally.

All eyes continue to be on the Stade de France and the velodrome for what should be some thrilling athletics and cycling.

But the action also starts in the taekwondo and there is a good chance of a medal in the diving.

KJT IN ACTION

Katarina Johnson-Thompson gets her fourth Olympics under way when the heptathlon begins with the 100 metres hurdles at 10.05am (9.05am BST). The Liverpudlian was heartbroken when she had to pull out of the competition after sustaining a calf injury at Tokyo 2020. She enters these Games as reigning world champion, and this time has a team-mate in Oxford Olympic debutante Jade O’Dowda alongside her.

JOY FOR JADE?

Jade Jones will seek to shrug off controversy regarding her missed drugs test and claim a third Olympic taekwondo medal at the glamorous Grand Palais . Jones, who won gold in London and Rio but crashed out in the first round in Tokyo, avoided a ban over a missed test in December on medical grounds. Her round of 16 starts at 12pm (11am BST). Meanwhile team-mate Bradly Sinden, a two-time world champion from Doncaster, is one of the big favourites in the men’s -68kg division and his round of 16 is at 10.59am (9.59am BST).

WHEELY BAD LUCK

Ethan Hayter will hope for better luck in Thursday’s omnium – starting at 5pm (4pm BST) – after his bizarre late slip ended any hopes Great Britain had of winning team pursuit gold in Wednesday’s final. Hayter was left upset after falling off the front of his saddle in a desperate late push and losing momentum, but must quickly recalibrate for the four-event omnium. Emma Finucane and Katy Marchant, who won team sprint gold on Monday, will hope to add to the track cycling medal haul in the keirin, which starts at 5.18pm (4.18pm BST).

MAKING A SPLASH

Great Britain’s Jack Laugher and Jordan Houlden compete in the men’s 3m springboard final at 3pm (2pm BST). Laugher and Houlden secured their places with third and fifth-place finishes, respectively. Laugher finished with bronze in the event at Tokyo 2020 and already has one medal to his name at this Games after taking bronze in the synchronised event with Anthony Harding. For Houlden, this is his Olympic debut and he had a successful day in semi-final qualifying scoring 445.55 points.

ONE THOUSAND UP

With their 1,000th in the bag thanks to the men’s team pursuit silver, Great Britain went on to win a further two medals on Wednesday night. One was also in the velodrome, the women’s team pursuit with a thrilling bronze and then Matthew Hudson-Smith claimed silver in the 400 metres. That takes the Paris tally for Team GB to 49 medals.
