Meanwhile, the men’s Olympic triathlon has been postponed at the last minute due to high levels of E. coli in the Seine, as a heatwave which threatens to reach 40°C hits the French capital.
For Team GB, tonight is mostly about the 4x200m relay team trying to defend their gold medal from Tokyo at 9.15pm UK time. Also in semi-final action are Matt Richards and Anna Hopkin.“We have been unbelievably spoilt for medals in the last few Olympics. 2008 we had gold medals, 2012 , 2016 and in Tokyo, we have been spoilt. It is a cyclical sport.
The doubles would take a lot less time were playing partners to stop chasing about the court to fist bump after every shot. It was in stark contrast to the summer of 2021 at the Tokyo Olympics, when Worthington landed the first 360° backflip in competition in the discipline’s debut at the Games. “My personal goal was to be a two-time Olympian and sport is about setting dreams and goals you are not even sure you can achieve, so for me to be up here, I have achieved my goal – dropping in twice on the world stage.
“I am really proud of the journey to get there and up there I wasn’t fighting any other battle other than the one against myself.”Team GB’s Mallory Franklin has qualified for the women’s canoe slalom semi-final despite receiving a 50 second penalty on her second run.
