Paris 2024 Olympics day seven: Cheptegui wins 10,000m, BMX 1-2-3 for France – as it happened

A day that began with a rush of Team GB golds ended with French success and records tumbling on the athletics track

Two-time gold medallist Andy Murray is on the shortlist for Great Britain's greatest Olympian of all-time. In Australia, that battle could be being played out in real time during the Paris Games.

Australia has a long and glittering Olympic history. But there is one record no Australian has previously surpassed. Since the first Australians competed at the 1896 Games, none have won more than three gold medals in individual events.

At Paris 2024, three Australians across two sports are on the cusp of history and an achievement that would guarantee elevation to the pantheon of greatest Olympians. Jess Fox, Ariarne Titmus and Kaylee McKeown have already won gold at the 2024 Games, and now have the possibility to go where no Australian has gone before.
