World records and 21 gold medals are at stake on August 7 at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
World records are expected to tumble at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Wednesday, August 7th, as 21 gold medals are up for grabs. One of the most anticipated events is the track cycling competition. The men's team pursuit world record has been broken at each of the last six Olympic Games, and this year, defending champions Italy are strong contenders along with Great Britain and the current world champions, Denmark. Both the men's and women's team pursuit finals are scheduled for Wednesday evening. In the women's event, Great Britain and New Zealand are expected to battle for gold, just as they did in the women's team sprint on Monday, where Team GB emerged victorious.
Vinesh Phogat advances to Final, set to face Sarah Hildebrandt for Gold
Vinesh Phogat overcame significant challenges to secure a spot in the final of the women’s 50kg wrestling event at the Paris 2024 Olympics. On Tuesday, she reached the final and will now compete for the gold medal against Sarah Hildebrandt of the USA, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medalist.
Mirosław aims for another record in Sport Climbing
Another exciting event to watch is the women's Speed final in sport climbing, featuring Aleksandra Mirosław. Mirosław is known for her incredible speed, having scaled the wall in just 6.06 seconds during qualifying on Monday to break her own world record. Viewers are advised not to blink, as she could potentially break her record again in the final today in the afternoon.
Thrilling athletics events at Stade de France
In athletics at the Stade de France, the men's 400m final and the women's pole vault final are among the gold medal events. The men's 400m final could see a showdown between USA’s Quincy Hall and Team GB’s Matthew Hudson-Smith.
