Here’s what you can look forward to on day 12, August 7: 23 gold medal competitions take place.

The new Mixed marathon, walking relay takes place in the morning (7:30 a.m.) and replaces the men’s 50 km walk. Teams of one man and one woman complete two stages of different lengths, covering a distance of 42.195 km without running. And the first mixed two-person dinghy Medals should be awarded in sailing.

In the evening, semifinals will also take place in 200 m Men (from 20:02) as Lyle’s wants to continue his medal hunt.

Still have no ideas on what to watch? Here are some events you might want to keep an eye on today:

Athletics – Will Kennedy and Moon be separated in Paris?

The last time Nina Kennedy And Katie Moon competed against each other in a major championship, there was no difference between them.

At the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, the Australian and American pole vaulters tied for gold – reminiscent of a similar situation between Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim in the men’s high jump at Tokyo 2020. Now they will continue their friendship and rivalry in the Women’s pole vault final (19 o’clock).

In addition to her world championship titles in 2022 and 2023, Moon is also the reigning Olympic champion and thus a clear favorite in Paris. But she is not the world leader this year: Great Britain’s Molly Caudery with 4.92 m – and yet Caudery will not be in the final because she shockingly did not beat a single mark in qualifying, while 20 women reached the final.

Cycling (track) – Australia wants to beat the world record again

There is a remarkable statistic in the Men’s team pursuit Track cycling: The world record in this discipline has been broken at each of the last six Olympic Games since Sydney 2000. Atlanta 1996 was the last time that no world record was broken in the men’s team pursuit at the Olympic Games.

In Paris it has fallen again, Australia – who had not won this tournament since Athens 2004 – broke the record in the first round by defeating defending champions Italy.

You will meet former Olympic champions Great Britain in the final, while Italy tries to restore its world record in the race for the bronze medal.
