2024 Olympics in Paris - schedule today, July 27: events, sports, times, TV, how to watch and stream

There will be action across 24 sports during day one at the 2024 Olympics, where the first medals of the Paris Games are to be handed out in shooting.

At the Châteauroux Shooting Centre, the winners of the mixed team 10m air rifle event will be the opening champions of the 33rd Summer Olympics, on a day that will witness a total of 14 medal events.

Are any major American names competing today?

Yes: one particularly notable US athlete in action today is the legendary swimmer Katie Ledecky, who will be out to win her first gold of the 2024 Games.

The seven-time Olympic champion will be chasing victory in the women’s 400m freestyle final, as she bids to draw level with Jenny Thompson as the female US athlete with the most Olympic gold medals. Thompson, also a swimmer, won eight golds between 1992 and 2004.
