Day ten belonged to Armand Duplantis, who lived up to his billing as the athlete of his generation by captivating the Stade de France en route to a new pole vault world record. Other superstars contributed to another magnificent day of sport without celebrating gold. That includes Simone Biles who had to settle for a solitary silver from her final pair of apparatus finals, and Faith Kipyegon, who was run down by compatriot Beatrice Chebet in the final strides of a controversial 5,000m race.

Elsewhere, Viktor Axelsen defended his badminton gold medal, another Fox – Noemie this time – won on the whitewater, and Team GB got to work in the velodrome. And on an action packed day across the Games there was time for a Tahitian local to triumph on the terrifying Teahupo’o break.

Athletics: men’s 1500m final
Jakob Ingebrigtsen won gold in Tokyo but since then has twice been pipped by Britons at global tournaments, beaten by Jake Wightman at the 2022 world championships and Josh Kerr at the 2023 event. The 1500m has been a thrilling, hotly contested event in recent years and there are several athletes who could halt the Kerr v Ingebrigtsen hype including another Norwegian in Narve Gilje Nordås, who is coached by Ingebrigtsen’s estranged father, Gjert (who has not been accredited for the Olympics because he faces criminal charges in Norway).

Skateboarding: women’s park final
The 14-year-old Australian and world No 2 Arisa Trew is one to keep an eye on here: last year she became the first female to pull off a 720, and in June was the first to land a 900 (two and a half rotations) and a switch McTwist (if you know you know). The park course is too slow to allow those tricks, but she will be trying to push the boundaries. Meanwhile Sky Brown, who won bronze for Britain at 13 in Tokyo, returns.

Greco-Roman wrestling: men’s 130kg gold final
At the other end of the Olympic age spectrum, Cuba’s Mijaín López, 42 in August, is attempting to become the first athlete to win five consecutive gold medals in the same individual event – and in so doing to present a plausible argument for being the greatest ever Olympian. “I will do it,” he said in March. “The fatigue is there, the physical pain is there, so the mind has to be strong, the motivation has to be even stronger.”

Athletics: Men’s 1500m Final
Jacob Ingebrigtsen won gold in Tokyo but has since lost to Britons twice at world championships, to Jake Wightman at the 2022 world championships and Josh Kerr at the 2023 event. The 1500 has become a thrilling, heated race in recent years, and there are a few athletes who could put a stop to the Kerr-Ingebrigtsen hype, including Norwegian Narve Gylje Noldus, who is coached by Ingebrigtsen’s estranged father, Jert (who is facing criminal charges in Norway and therefore ineligible to compete in the Olympics).
Skateboarding: Women’s Park Final
Alisa True, the 14-year-old Australian who is ranked No. 2 in the world, is one to watch here. Last year she became the first woman to land a 720, and in June she was the first to land a 900 (two and a half rotations) and a switch McTwist (if you know what I mean). The park course is too slow for those tricks, but she’ll be pushing her limits. Meanwhile, Sky Brown, who won bronze for Great Britain in Tokyo as a 13-year-old, is back.
Greco-Roman Wrestling: Men’s 130kg Final Gold Medal
At the other end of the Olympic age scale, Cuba’s Mijain Lopez (who turns 42 in August) is trying to become the first athlete to win five consecutive individual gold medals and, in doing so, make a convincing case for being the greatest Olympian of all time. “I’m going to do it,” he said in March. “I’m tired, I’m in physical pain, so I have to be mentally stronger and even more motivated.”
