What’s on at the Olympics today?

Today, two sporting events will begin at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Football and rugby sevens group stage matches will start two days before the official curtain raiser to allow players enough time between games.

A medalist in football, for example, expects to play six games and kicking off before the opening ceremony allows players at least two days rest between matches.
