Olympics on today – Expert picks
Athletics: Women’s Marathon
From 7:00am on BBC One and discovery+
PAULA RADCLIFFE SAYS...
Although we won’t see Britain’s Eilish McColgan in the marathon — she’ll be running in the 10,000m with Megan Keith instead — it’s going to be a fascinating race this year.
It’s a tough course, and I know Ethiopia’s world record holder Tigst Assefa is not looking forward to it: she doesn’t think she can run well. Saying that, she’s still a good four minutes faster than the next person.
But because of this course, it’s one of those events where someone could come out and win a gold medal — someone who no one has even considered. Certainly, the British runners Charlotte Purdue, Calli Hauger-Thackery and Rose Harvey are long shots.
Weightlifting: Women’s +81kg

From 10:30am on BBC iPlayer and discovery+
GABRIEL TATE SAYS...
Britain’s sole representative in the weightlifting is also one of its most charismatic competitors. By winning silver in Tokyo, Emily Campbell made history as GB’s first woman to win a medal in weightlifting and inspired women and girls across the country to try out the sport.
She has been the dominant European force in the superheavyweight category ever since — indeed, Campbell is the only European in the class at the Paris Olympics — but her long-time rival, China’s Li Wenwen, will be there and is once again the hot favourite for gold.
Track Cycling: Women’s Sprint and Omnium Finals
![Day 13 Day 13](https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/07/Day-13-GettyImages-1332628074-d2de79e.jpg?quality=90&fit=700,466)
From 11:45am on BBC One and discovery+
JOANNA ROWSELL SAYS...
There’s definitely potential for medals in the women’s sprint — GB will go into the event as favourites despite Katie Archibald’s absence. They won the World Championship without her and, as long as Emma Finucane — who is in phenomenal form and so crucial to this team — is fit, we should be among the gold contenders.
The omnium will be every bit as mad as the men’s madison but, if I’m being completely honest, we’re probably not one of the favourites for a podium finish. Any kind of medal for GB in this event would be brilliant.
