All the action from day 11 of the Paris Olympics 2024.
Here’s all you need to know about today’s action at the Paris Olympics across Tuesday evening and into tomorrow morning.
Just the one medal chance on day 11
A slim chance for the medal for sailor Tom Saunders in the dinghy (ILCA 7) medal race. They couldn’t get off the start line at all due to the light conditions overnight, denying Saunders the opportunity to strengthen his medal claim. He will start tomorrow’s medal race in seventh after his final two qualifying races were cancelled and is 18 points outside the medal places. Put him down for little more than a mathematical chance to win bronze.
Other Kiwis in action on day 11
Sailing
The Kiwi mixed multihull (Nacra 17) pair of Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson are third overall, tied on 28 points with Argentine duo Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco, with two qualifying races to go tonight before the medal race on day 12. Wilkinson and Dawson are in the bronze-medal position. They trail the impressive Italian duo of Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti by 14 points but, importantly, are 10 points ahead of fourth-placed John Gimson and Anna Burnet of Great Britain. Justina Kitchen is 15th overall in the women’s kite, while Lukas Walton-Keim occupies the same spot in the men’s event.
Kayak and canoe sprint
Dame Lisa Carrington begins her Paris campaign, starting with the K4 500m heats alongside Olivia Brett, Alicia Hoskin and Tara Vaughan, before joining Hoskin in the K2 500m heats, which Aimee Fisher and Lucy Matehaere are also competing in. The men’s K4 of Max Brown, Grant Clancy, Kurtis Imrie and Hamish Legarth also take part in the heats. Imrie and Legarth have a busy day with the K2 500m heats a few hours later.
Brown and Clancy swap to the C2 500m heats as well.
Athletics
A quiet day at the Stade de France for New Zealand with two-time NCAA champion Maia Ramsden taking part in the 1500m heats.
Cycling - track
It’s switching from sprint to long distance for the women with the women’s pursuit team of Ally Wollaston, Bryony Botha, Emily Shearman and Nicole Shields taking on qualifying. Followed by the men who have a first round ride after setting the sixth-fastest time in qualifying.
Sport climbing
Kiwi men’s hope Julian David has the qualification and seeding races in the speed event.
