Olympic Games Paris 2024 preview, Monday 5 August

-

The Men’s Football semifinals, Triathlon action, 3×3 Basketball Gold Medal matches, as well as the continuing Athletics and Gymnastics programmes, will be the featured events on Monday 5 August at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

The action gets going early with the Mixed Relay Final for the Triathlon, before Session 8 of the Athletics sees preliminary heats and qualifiers at Stade de France, while Session 9 in the evening will be headlined by the finals for the Men’s Pole Vault, Women’s Discus Throw, Women’s 5000m and Women’s 800m.

One of the outsiders for glory in the Women’s 800m is South Africa’s Prudence Sekgodiso, who ran a world-leading time of 1:57.26 in a Diamond League meeting in Morocco and could prove a major headache for the favourites, such as Kenya’s Mary Moraa and Keely Hodgkinson of Great Britain.

Sekgodiso’s coach, Samuel Sepeng (the brother of Olympic silver medallist Hezekiel Sepeng and former mentor to Caster Semenya) wants his 22-year-old charge to chase after a spot in the final, where “anything can happen”.

“I feel like right now I have that experience whereby I know in the heat they take the top three. And in the semis that’s where you have to push yourself. That’s your final, actually,” Sekgodiso noted. “You have to put yourself in the top two. This year we have the Olympics and now I have a goal. My goal is to be in the final. Like my coach says, anything can happen once you are in the final.”

The Artistic Gymnastics will have finals for the Men’s Parallel Bars, Women’s Balance Beam, Men’s Horizontal Bar and Women’s Floor routine; Synchronised Swimming will feature the otherworldly precision and cohesion of the Team Technical Routine; Men’s Football semifinals will be played in Marseille and Lyon; and the 3×3 Basketball tournament will conclude with Gold Medal matches for both Women and Men late in the evening.
