Join our writers for all the latest on an action-packed Sunday at Paris 2024
Hello everybody and welcome to live coverage of the ninth official day of competition of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. I hope you’ve all been enjoying it so far – here in Australia there have been a lot of late nights and early mornings, but Australian sports fans are well accustomed to dealing with sport induced sleep deprivation.
Day eight was full of action, with probably the biggest news of the day being the huge upset of St Lucia’s Julien Alfred taking out the 100m women’s gold ahead of Sha’carri Richardson. Elsewhere on the track, Dutch runner Femke Bol came from nowhere to drag her team to victory in the 4x400m mixed relay. There was more Simone Biles magic, as the star gymnast picked up her seventh gold medal, and over in the pool Katie Ledecky got the better of Ariarne Titmus to win her fourth 800m gold in a row.
