2024 Paris Olympics LIVE: Adam Peaty and Katie Boulter both in action for Team GB as the first medals of the Games are to be awarded as USA’s Katie Ledecky can become the most successful female swimmer of all time

A special moment for Nick Park as he draws first blood for Team GB against Spain. He has the honour of being the first man to score in hockey at the Paris 2024 Olympics, doing so towards the end of the first quarter.

Keely Hodgkinson has embraced comparisons with Jessica Ennis-Hill, claiming she is ‘privileged’ to be compared to the legend as a ‘poster-girl’ for Team GB’s middle-distance running hopes.

She said: ‘If anyone sees me as the poster girl like she was [Jessica Ennis-Hill] then that’s quite the achievement. I’m privileged to be in this position. And it’s quite a tribute to follow in her footsteps. Hopefully I can go on and do what she did and bring home the gold.’

A first match in Pool A for Great Britain’s men’s hockey team against Spain. It’s the first of five matches they’ll have in the group stage.

Team GB reached the quarter-finals last time out and are well-placed to build on that.

We’ve had our first wash-out of the Games!

After the heavens opened last night, the ground has been deemed too moist for cool people to whizz around on skateboards. They’re going to have to wait two days to get underway. I’d hate the wait with all the nerves!

Our expert writers Oliver Holt and Ian Herbert have had their say on last night’s frankly bizarre opening ceremony.

In the first-ever ceremony away from an arena, my low moment was seeing the semi-naked Smurf-coloured man sat in a compromisng pose surrounded by a platter of fruit. Wasn’t a huge fan of that part…

Get your fix of Holt and herbert below – and let us know what you made of it in the comments.

Here is just some of what we have to look forward to today.

• Women’s 3m syncho diving at 10am – Jasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen in the final
• Josh Tarling in the men’s road time trial at 3,32pm, with Anna Henderson in the women’s at 1.30pm
• Adam Peaty begins his quest for a third breaststroke gold medal in the heats from 10am

Who better to hear from than a man who won five gold medals at five consecutive Olympic Games?

Sir Steve Redgrave has his finger on the pulse in Paris. From the mood inside Team GB House, to our best medal hopes for today, he delivers an exclusive preview for the action.

He also reflects on Friday night’s opening ceremony, which ivided opinion to say the least…

Do read the below article and watch Redgrave give his thoughts.

The Olympic eventing dressage gets underway at 8.30am BST today, but the sport has been rocked by the scandal surrounding Charlotte Dujardin in recent days.

Major sponsors have cut ties with her after a video emerged of her whipping a horse, released by a whistleblower.

Now, Mail Sport can reveal damining comments made by Alicia Dickinson, the dressage trainer who has denied being that whistleblower, about abuse at the top of the sport.

A bit later, we’ll be bringing you an exclusive video preview of today’s action with Sir Steve Redgrave, and he’ll be delivering his verdict on who our best hopes of scooping up a medal are today.

He sets a target of six medals for Team GB today and says the team’s headquarters are ‘buzzing’ with anticipation.

Hello and welcome to Mail Sport’s live coverage of the first Saturday of the Olympics!

We’ve got a jam-packed schedule for today and by the end of it, some athletes will be going to bed with a gold medal by their side.

There are plenty of British medal hopes, so stay with us. More on those in a moment.
