Today at the Olympics: Sunday’s schedule and highlights including Tigst Assefa and Closing Ceremony

As the Paris 2024 Olympics comes to a close, the final day of what has been a monumental year for the Games should deliver its fair share of breathtaking moments.

Kicking things off on Sunday will be the eagerly anticipated women’s marathon, with Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa looking to further cement her greatness after setting a new world record with a staggering time of 2:11:58 at the 2023 Berlin Marathon.

Joining her in the race will be Sifan Hassan , looking to complete an audacious treble , and Great Britain trio Calli Hauger-Thackery, Rose Harvey and Clara Evans , who received a late invitation to Paris after the injury to Charlotte Purdue.

The endurance events will be coming in thick and fast, as the women’s final of the Modern Pentathlon will get underway at 10:40am, with Kate French and Kerenza Bryson hoping to add to Team GB’s medal tally.

There is Men's Keirin, as well as the Women's Omnium in track cycling, with Emma Finucane , Jack Carlin and Hamish Turnbull among the riders in action. France play the USA in the women’s basketball gold medal game. Then there will be the Closing Ceremony, starting at 8pm BST, which will bring the day to its natural conclusion.
