Paris 2024: Day 8 Olympic preview by Matt Majendie

Transcript

00:00Good morning from day 8 of the Olympics here in Paris where Team GB medal hopes begin with the final day of the rowing regatta

00:06It's the men's and the women's eight

00:08Two notoriously tight events so quite tough to call. From a GB perspective you would hope and expect medals from both crews

00:15But you know anything's possible from first down to fifth

00:18Such are the nature of the event. Also the artistic gymnastics apparatus finals begin. Max Whitlock is the sort of number one

00:26Interest there in the fact that he's going for a hat-trick of titles on the pommel horse

00:30We've got Adam Peaty back in the water in the 4x100

00:34Mixed relay. Now he'll be hoping to go well and have his sights set on gold after the disappointment of his individual event where it

00:41Turned out he had COVID. Still very impressive with that in mind that he got a silver medal

00:45We've got the women's 100 meters as the kind of number one event late into the night in the athletics and also other British hopes

00:52In the team dressage final as that reaches its conclusion and the men's cycling road race

00:57Tom Pidcock is one of the contenders from a GB point of view. Very hard to call what might happen in that race

01:02But obviously Tom had won mountain bike gold. So very impressively

01:06Doubling up also in the road race
