Good morning! It’s Day 13 of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Here’s what you should be looking out for today.
It’s another big day for track and field fans, with five more medals on offer. Team USA’s Tara Davis-Woodhall takes on the women’s long jump at 2:00 p.m. ET and 8:00 p.m. local time; men’s javelin is at 2:25 p.m. ET and 8:25 p.m. local time. Noah Lyles will be in the spotlight again and hoping to add to his 100m gold in the 200m final alongside Erriyon Knighton and Kenny Bednarek at 2:30 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. local time. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone defends her title in the women’s 400m hurdles at 3:25 p.m. ET and 9:25 p.m. local time, before Grant Holloway et al round off the day’s track events with men’s 110m hurdles at 3:45 p.m. ET and 9:45 p.m. local time.

That game is at 3:00 p.m. ET and 9:00 p.m. local time.
Elsewhere, the first ever sailing medals will be awarded for kite surfing, with Markus Edegran and Daniela Moroz competing for the U.S. at 9:40 a.m. ET and 3:40 p.m. local time, and 10:37 am…
