Hello and welcome to our live coverage of what promises to be another dramatic night of finals in the swimming pool at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
All eyes will be on America’s Katie Ledecky when she races her signature event later: the 1500m freestyle. Should Ledecky it will be the 12th Olympic medal of her illustrious career — and eighth gold.
French eyes, meanwhile, will be drawn to home favorite Leon Marchand, who is chasing gold in not one but two events later today: the 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke.
