The 2024 Summer Olympics are underway in Paris, and the official first day of the tournament saw immediate success for Team GB, with divers Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen securing Britain’s first opening day medal since 2004, and the first GB has won in women’s diving for 64 years.

I had live updates on the other events, as well as the news from all of the day’s other sport where England’s male Cricketers were well on their way to winning their test series against the West Indies, and in Football steps 5 and 6 of non-League made their return for the 2024/25 season.

In the Essex Senior League, Hullbridge Sports topped the table on goal difference after the first round of matches after scoring five goals without reply at home to Stansted.
