Day 6 at the Paris Olympics will see Team GB have high hopes in the rowing with Helen Glover going for in search of a third gold medal.

Glover topped the podium in London and Rio in the pair alongside Heather Stanning and made a dramatic return in Tokyo, finishing fourth alongside Polly Swann having returned from giving birth to three children in the interim cycle.

The 38-year-old has summoned the energy to go again in Paris and is now part of the women’s four alongside Esme Booth, Samantha Redgrave - no relation to Steve - and Rebecca Shorten.

The quartet won bronze at the 2023 World Championships, and they are not Britain’s only medal hopes on the water.

Oli Wilkes, David Ambler, Matt Aldridge, and Freddie Davidson are the reigning world champions in the men’s four and are faced with the pressure of returning Britain to what was their natural home on top of the podium in the event.

Team GB won men’s four gold at every Games between Sydney 2000 and Rio 2016 but finished fourth last time out.

In Marseille, 35-year-old Scot Fynn Sterritt has vowed to ‘give it everything’ in his last shot at Olympic glory in the men’s 49er medal race alongside James Peters. 

Dublin-born Saskia Tidey, who represented Ireland in Rio before switching to Team GB ahead of Tokyo, won 49erFX European bronze with Freya Black earlier this year and will hope to feature prominently in their medal race.

Elsewhere, the men’s golf gets underway at Le Golf National, with Matt Fitzpatrick and returning Olympian Tommy Fleetwood leading the British charge at the venue which hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup.

The all-around title was one of four World Championship golds Simone Biles won in Antwerp last year and she is favourite to add to that here in a star-studded competition.

It's a battle over 200m on day six in the swimming pool as four stacked finals take place over the distance.

Canadian star Summer McIntosh will look to add 200m butterfly gold to her already impressive CV.

The 17-year-old is already a two-time world champion in the event, taking the title in 2022 and 2023 and broke the world junior record last summer.

Tatjana Schoenmaker will then defend her 200m breaststroke title.

The South African provided a memorable celebration at Tokyo as she set a new world record time of 2:18.95 for victory and will once again have fierce competition from the USA's Lilly King, who took silver last time out.

What not to miss on day 6 of the Olympics

The women’s all-around final will see the world’s best female gymnasts bid to show who is the most versatile. Simone Biles will do battle with compatriot and reigning champion Sunisa Lee, who has overcome a kidney-related health scare to defend her crown, while Alice Kinsella leads the British charge in the absence of Jessica Gadirova through injury.

Athlete to watch

Rory McIlroy is set to step up to the first tee as he again represents Ireland in the men’s golf competition.

He finished tied for seventh in Tokyo, alongside compatriot Shane Lowry, and the pair are back for Paris as they bid to challenge the medals this time around.

Best Brit to watch

Joe Clarke won K1 gold in Rio eight years ago but missed out on selection for Tokyo, denying him the chance to defend his crown.
