With 15 days down, just one day of competition remains at Paris 2024.

After over two weeks of competition, the last 13 gold medals will be awarded on the final day of the Games, before the Closing Ceremony in the evening at the Stade de France.

The women’s marathon on Sunday morning concludes the athletics programme, a traditional end to that sport but with a twist, celebrating women in honor of the Women’s March on Versailles, a historic event in French history.

Also, the public will have had a chance to run along the course at the Marathon Pour Tous, which takes place overnight from 10-11 August.

At the Bercy Arena, the women’s basketball final on Sunday afternoon will be the final event of the entire Games. Team USA will be expected to win their eighth straight title.

At the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome, the last three track cycling finals will take place, including in the men’s keirin.

The two-time defending champion, Jason Kenny, has retired from the sport, meaning there will be a new champion in the event. British riders have won gold at this event since Beijing 2008, with Chris Hoy winning the two before Kenny.

Those are big shoes for Jack Carlin or Hamish Turnbull to fill.

Colombia’s Kevin Quintero, who was one of his country’s Opening Ceremony flag-bearers, is the reigning world champion and will attempt to win the first Colombian track cycling gold.

Closing Ceremony brings curtain down

After all the events are done, it is time to finally celebrate the previous 16 days. The Stade de France will host the Closing Ceremony (9pm Paris time), a chance for the athletes to mingle amongst themselves and reflect on another Olympic Games.

Plus there will be the much-anticipated handover from Paris 2024 to Los Angeles 2028.

And as the Olympic Cauldron is extinguished, attention will turn towards the Paralympic Games, which open on 28 August, and Milano Cortina 2026, the next Olympic Winter Games, in barely a year and a half.

Afghanistan are set to face India in the Asian Games cricket quarter-finals after Saturday’s rain-hit match between Nepal and Japan confirmed the Pool A standings.

The quarter-final between India and Afghanistan is scheduled to take place on September 28 in Nisshin, Japan.

Nepal secured first place in the group after Japan’s chase was washed out. Nepal had scored 149 runs for four wickets in 15 overs after being sent in to bat, but persistent rain prevented Japan from starting its innings.

The result saw Nepal advance as Pool A winners, with Afghanistan joining them in the quarter-finals as the other qualifying team. Nepal will face Sri Lanka in the quarter-finals.

Japan have been eliminated from the tournament.
