Judo: Women’s -52kg Final

Among the five British women set for Paris to compete in judo, Chelsie Giles stands out as the most well-known and promising contender. Despite being affected by a false positive Covid test in Tokyo, which took away valuable preparation time, she managed to win a bronze medal at the Olympics – marking Team GB’s initial achievement. A year afterwards, she claimed silver at the World Championships, besting Tokyo’s silver medallist Amandine Buchard along the way, and presently ranks fifth globally. Uta Abe from Japan, however, is the judoka to watch in this competition.

Swimming: Men’s 100m Breaststroke Final

At the Commonwealth Games in 2022, it was noticeable that Adam Peaty appeared off his game as he stepped out to the poolside. His usual self-assurance seemed absent. However, outside of the water, he looks contented and at ease. Given his past successes at the last two Olympics where he amassed a collection of medals and records, it’s reasonable to anticipate that he will bounce back. Despite emerging competitors like Qin Haiyang from China, Peaty remains the one to beat in my opinion. I believe he has what it takes to deliver once again. (Ellie Simmonds)
