encoded: Dame Denise Lewis is and has been many things. As an Olympic, Commonwealth and European heptathlon champion, she excelled on both track and field, while since hanging up her cleats, she’s been the president of Commonwealth Games England and of UK Athletics, as well as a much-loved BBC pundit. Next month, she will add Soccer Aid competitor to that already impressive CV as she takes to the pitch at Old Trafford as part of the England team. It’s an opportunity she is delighted to have been offered. "I’ve been watching Soccer Aid for years with my family but I never dreamed that one day I would be playing," she explained in an exclusive interview with the Radio Times. "When that call came in, I didn't hesitate. It was like, yes, if you guys will have me. I feel very proud to be representing England. I've represented England on numerous occasions at the Commonwealth Games, but now I'm making my debut in a football shirt." This is shaping up to be a busy year for the Sydney 2000 gold medallist, who is part of the plans to bring the 2029 World Championships back to London. It was announced last month that Athletic Ventures, which is a collaboration between UK Athletics, the Great Run Company and London Marathon Events, were planning to launch a bid for the event. £45 million in government funding is needed for an official bid to be launched in September, and Lewis emphasised why it would be a positive move for the country – not least because one feasibility study has the economic benefits at £400 million. "We hosted in 2017 and they were probably one of the most unforgettable World Athletics Championships," said Lewis. "Sold out tickets every session. The morning sessions are usually the hardest to sell but people were so up for it. "It’s not just about the medals, it’s about the nation. Proving to the rest of the world that we are great hosts. "We need to submit a bid in the autumn but we need the funding now. We need the government to step in and do the due diligence. "W…

The hosts are guaranteed a medal after extra-time goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Olise helped them come from behind to beat Egypt 3-1 in Monday's semi-final.

description: Your guide to breaking at the Olympic Games 2024, including TV coverage and schedule.
encoded: Breaking has had a long road to the Olympics, from its origins in 1970s hip-hop culture through to the earliest competitive events in the 1990s and its successful inclusion in the 2018 Youth Olympics, which made an official Olympic debut a certainty. The sport got its start in New York block parties, where DJs would mix multiple records in order to achieve a longer instrumental section. Enthusiastic dancers would use these extended breakdowns to show off increasingly technical and athletic moves, giving birth to a new style of dance and, eventually, a new sport. The term "breakdancer" has often been used to refer to someone who had appropriated the dancing without any interest in the surrounding culture, so purists prefer the term b-boy or b-girl. Check out our Olympics on today guide, including hand-picked highlights from Olympic gold medallists and experts There will be 16 b-boys and 16 b-girls competing in Paris, along with a DJ and MC providing the music. Dancers will face-off in one-on-one competitions, progressing through toprock, downrock, power moves and freezes - essentially a progression from fancy footwork through to momentum-gaining floor-based dances like the six-step, culminating in gymnastic feats such as the windmill. A panel of nine judges will operate a slider which is used to show a preference for the b-boy or b-girl they believe is putting in the best performance based on technique, variety, originality and musicality. An averaging of the slider scores will decide the winner of each one-on-one, with scoring weighted towards technique and creativity.

encoded: Each new instalment of the Olympics brings with it the opportunity to refresh the line-up of sports that will be included across the two weeks of competition that year. Doing so is an effort by the International Olympic Committee to modernise the Games, attract new and younger audiences and give athletes from smaller or emerging sports to showcase their talent to the world. At Paris 2024, the sole debutant among the sports to be contested is known by a somewhat obscure name: breaking. Check out our Olympics on today guide, including hand-picked highlights from Olympic gold medallists and experts With roots in 1970s New York, breaking joins several other urban sports in the Paris 2024 event line-up, including skateboarding and BMX freestyle.

The sport can be traced back to the New York borough of the Bronx in the early 1970s, where the dance style began to grow at events like block parties in tandem with the increasing popularity of the hip-hop genre of music. The 'break' is the part of a song where vocals and other instruments fade out, leaving just the percussion – and it is in that break that early b-boys and b-girls (male and female competitors who practice the sport of breaking) began to showcase their acrobatic moves and quick footwork set to the backing of the hip-hop soundtrack. As breaking's popularity spread, more communities and cultures got involved, forming crews to face off in both individual and team dance battles and leading to the first in…

Skill, speed, strength and agility – heptathletes must have it all, across seven different track and field events, if they hope to make it to the top. The heptathlon made its Olympic debut at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, replacing the five-event pentathlon that women had competed in at that level since the 1964 Olympics. Check out our Olympics on today guide, including hand-picked highlights from Olympic gold medallists and experts Team GB has produced its fair share of world-class heptathletes over the years, from Sydney 2000 Olympic champion Denise Lewis to two-time bronze medal winner Kelly Sotherton, but two names will spring to the minds of many: Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Before her retirement in 2016, Ennis-Hill captured three World Championship titles and a coveted Olympic gold at her London 2012 home Games. Johnson-Thompson, who ranks just ahead of her fellow Brit on the all-time heptathlon performer list, has won two World Championships of her own – including in 2023 – and heads into her fourth Olympics at Paris 2024 looking to clinch an elusive first Olympic medal.

description: The sports star is looking to climb his way to the top spot for Team GB.
encoded: This interview first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Ahead of the Olympics, Radio Times magazine spoke to some of Team GB’s sporting stars going for gold in Paris – and the hard-working parents who have been with them every step of the way. Here, rock climber Toby Roberts and his dad Tristian reflect on his journey so far. Toby I enjoyed all the sports I did growing up – rugby, football, cross-country, hockey – but they felt a bit monotonous. Climbing was a new challenge. Being able to push my limits in a way that wasn’t so repetitive was addictive. I’ve always also had a passion for Formula 1, so if I wasn’t a climber, I’d probably be a motorsports driver. It’s great having my dad as my coach. It’s so nice to have someone I’m so close to that I’m 100 per cent comfortable with and can talk to about anything. While he doesn’t climb, he still has an incredible depth of knowledge. There’s always going to be times where I’m like, "OK, just leave me alone for a second," or, "I’ve spent a lot of time with you now," but it’s always really friendly. When I’m in my hardest training phase during the winter, I train six days a week, seven or eight hours a day, whether it’s in the gym doing weights or climbing. To switch off, I read a lot so I’m engaged, but without physically exerting myself. I love the Lord of the Rings series. I also play video games, including Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty. Now I’m in competition season, my training load has dropped a bit, and it’s more about feeling good and getting rid of some of that fatigue. My typical diet is enough fuel to sustain the training. It’s relatively clean, home-cooked meals. My mum’s a very good cook. Her banana bread is perfect training fuel. There are three types of climbing in the Olympics – speed climbing, lead climbing and bouldering. Lead climbing is my preferred discipline. Climbers have six minutes to climb as high as they can on a route they haven’t seen before. Climbing is a big mental battle. Before I’m on …

Both events are now underway at the Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue – with Polish climber Aleksandra Miroslaw having already smashed her own world record on the way to a gold medal in the women's speed climbing event.

Now it remains to be seen if her countryman Noah Lyles can take home the men's prize after his astonishing display to claim gold in the 100m final on Sunday. The 27-year-old sprint superstar is a three-time 200m world champion, and certainly seems confident that he can add an Olympic gold to that haul. Asked during a press conference on Monday who is the fastest man in world, he responded: "It’s me. It’s always going to be me." Lyles is expected to punch his name into the history books during these Games as he takes to the track in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m events this week. With one gold already under his belt, can he continue his form?

description: The modern pentathlon is about to become the old pentathlon following Paris 2024.
encoded: The modern pentathlon has found itself the subject of some hotly contested debate in recent years, chiefly between the sport’s organisers and some of its top competitors. This most recently has centred on a decision to change the event line-up after the Paris 2024 Olympics, following an incident with a horse being punched by a coach in Tokyo. The modern pentathlon finds its roots in the Ancient Olympic pentathlon, which featured running, jumping, javelin, discus and wrestling, with the event’s name derived from Greek, combining "pente" (five) and "athlon" (competition). Check out our Olympics on today guide, including hand-picked highlights from Olympic gold medallists and experts It has been an event for men at the Summer Olympics since 1912, and was added to the women’s schedule at the Olympics for the first time at the Sydney 2000 Games. But with the modern pentathlon having undergone great changes since its introduction, and with it soon to be tweaked again, read on for the breakdown from RadioTimes.com of how it currently works.

As of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the five sports involved in the modern pentathlon are fencing, swimming, equestrian (horse-riding), shooting and running. These are split into four events, with running and shooting combined into what has been called the "laser run". After the Paris Olympics, horse riding is set to be replaced by an obstacle course discipline. The fencing (involving an electric épee) has the most to it, first involving a ranking round in which every athlete competes against all other athletes for a total of 35 one-on-one bouts, each limited to one minute in length or the time taken for one competitor to land a hit anywh…

encoded: Rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympic level is contested solely by women, with athletes competing in individual and group competitions. Rhythmic gymnastics consists of floor routines, which combine dancing, jumping and rotating to music while using either clubs, hoops, ribbons or balls to accentuate the performance. Separate panels of four judges mark the competitors on difficulty, artistry and execution, with the scores from each panel being averaged and combined to find the winner. Check out our Olympics on today guide, including hand-picked highlights from Olympic gold medallists and experts Judges will be looking out for what are known as "dynamic elements of rotation", which are essentially the hardest moves that can be made with a given piece of apparatus, such as throwing the ribbon into the air, performing a series of moves, then catching it again on one fluid motion. In the group competition, apparatus can be passed between the competitors, allowing for eye-catching synchronised moves. The group routines can last for up to 150 seconds, and individual routines for up to 90, with penalties being imposed for going over time, poorly executing moves, or failure to use the apparatus properly.

description: The Olympian and his father speak with Radio Times magazine.
encoded: This interview first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Ahead of the Olympics, Radio Times magazine spoke to some of Team GB’s sporting stars going for gold in Paris – and the hard-working parents who have been with them every step of the way. Here, Olympic runner Jake Wightman and his dad Geoff reflect on his journey so far. Jake My twin brother Sam was probably my biggest rival. We played every team sport at primary school and I didn’t like the idea of losing to him at all. While I was obsessed with that, he probably got put off because he couldn’t be bothered to deal with me. My mum was my PE teacher from the ages of about 14 to 18. So I’d have my mum organising sports day and my dad would be on the microphone [ex-athlete Geoff was then chief executive of Scottish Athletics and is now an athletics commentator]. Dad’s been commentating on my races for a long time. The fact that he announced my win at the World Championships is a massive part of my story. That was always the dream scenario. Sam and I always loved athletics, because we got taken to the World Championships in 2003 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I believe in genetics a little bit – I didn’t really train, but was naturally quite good. From the age of nine, I knew I wanted to be a runner. My dad knows how to push me and get the best out of me, and the tough love is good to an extent, but it’s probably been the biggest challenge. When I was younger, all I wanted to do was impress my dad. I thought everything my dad said was gospel. The challenges came when I got a bit older and formed my own opinions. I burn a lot of calories running, so I try to eat as many carbs as possible: breakfast is porridge and peanut butter, a banana; lunch is a lot of eggs and veg; dinners are rice or pasta with meat and veg. There’s a lot of sacrifice. I missed out on my 20s, I won’t get them back, but I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve got quite a bit of time left in this sport, but I look forward to the day I can play five- a-s…

description: Millions tuned in for Keely Hodgkinson's win.
encoded: The BBC's Olympics coverage achieved its highest ratings to date this week, as Team GB celebrated a huge victory in the athletics. The public service broadcaster has substantially reduced its coverage of this year's event due to a deal between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Warner Bros Discovery. The £1.1 billion agreement has made streaming service discovery+ the primary broadcaster of the global sporting extravaganza for the foreseeable future, with the BBC limited to showing only two streams at any given time. Nevertheless, significant audiences are still flocking to the broadcaster to catch their Olympic highlights, with yesterday's remarkable performance from Keely Hodgkinson bringing in the highest live audience to date: 8.7 million (via Broadcast). The 22-year-old won gold in the 800m final yesterday, fulfilling a lifelong goal after years of claiming silver, finishing the run in a mere one minute and 56.72 seconds, beating Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma by less than half a second. "I have really grown over the last couple of years, and this year was the year where you could really tell that I had tried to make that step up," Hodgkinson told BBC Sport. "The future is bright. I'm super happy to bring it home for everyone. It's not just me, it's a whole team effort, and they know who they are. This is our gold medal." Retired long-distance runner Paula Radcliffe was among those providing expert commentary in the BBC studio yesterday, speaking highly of Hodgkinson's tenacity and stunning victory. She said: "The silver queen has stepped up to gold, and she so deserves it. Keely Hodgkinson ran that race with the weight of expectation on her - everyone was hanging that medal around her neck, she knew that as well. "I think that will open the floodgates now she has turned silver to gold." In spite of the tightened restrictions, the BBC's Paris 2024 Olympics coverage has reached a higher peak than Tokyo 2021 (5m), with the vast time difference between the UK …

And, after a shock withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 due to mental health concerns, Biles once again ascended to the top of her sport. The athlete, who is inarguably one of the greatest American gymnasts to ever life and is the subject of a recently released Netflix docuseries, left Paris with three gold medals in the vault, all-around and team events, and a silver in the floor exercise, bringing her Olympic medal total to 11. She previously won five gold at the Rio Olympics – and she had been widely expected to continue that form into the delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021. She did manage to bag a silver in the team event and a bronze on the balance beam but the athlete withdrew from the competition before she could add any gold medals to her tally.

Soon afterwards, she announced that she would be pulling out of the event – although she went on to claim a silver medal after the rest of the team did enough to secure second place.

description: How are the three formats scored?
encoded: Olympic sport climbing is split into three disciplines: bouldering, speed and lead. However, unlike in Tokyo 2020 when sport climbing was a combined three-discipline event, speed climbing is now a standalone medal event, enabling specialists in that discipline to flourish. Bouldering and lead remain combined. Wondering how the three formats work and how points are scored? RadioTimes.com brings you everything you need to know. Don’t miss a minute of the Games with our complete 16-day Olympics TV Guide download, including how to watch all the action on TV, online, on catch-up and on the radio. What is Olympic speed climbing? In Olympic speed climbing, climbers scale a 15 m wall with a five-degrees incline as fast as possible. In seeding rounds, climbers are ranked by fastest time. In elimination rounds, athletes go head-to-head in a race to the top. What’s the difference between boulder and lead climbing? In bouldering, athletes climb up a 4.5 m wall (nearly 15 feet) without ropes in a limited period of time in the fewest attempts possible. Unlike in lead, climbers don’t see the boulder routes ahead of their attempts. Climbers are awarded 25 points for getting to the top of each boulder. If unable to top the boulder, climbers can earn points for reaching two zone holds along the way. Meanwhile in lead, climbers ascend as high as they can on a 15 m wall (nearly 50 feet) in six minutes in a single attempt. They are given six minutes to look at their climb before the round begins. If the athletes reach the top in the given amount of time they’ll be awarded 100 points. If they don’t reach the top, athletes are scored based on the holds they’ve reached, with the highest 10 holds worth four points each, the next 10 holds down worth three points, and so on. Scores from the bouldering and lead disciplines are then combined. Check out more of our Sport coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Jess Ennis-Hill promised herself she wouldn’t cry on TV when she agreed to take part in the BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?. "I'm the kind of person who only cries behind closed doors," the former golden girl of British athletics says. "When I was competing, I was a poker face. I wouldn’t give too much away." But sure enough, she did break down in front of the cameras. And not surprisingly, given what she discovered about her family. We meet at a London studio for Ennis-Hill’s RT photoshoot. The 38-year-old mother of two is posing in a dazzling red suit and looks as athletic as she did when winning the heptathlon gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. Ennis-Hill, who also won three world championships, has a naturally sunny disposition, but even she has been challenged by the traumatic discoveries. "I didn't imagine I'd find it so upsetting,” she says. Even as one of the toughest and most inspirational athletes in British history (the heptathlon consists of seven events over two days: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, long jump, javelin and 800m), she admits she was terrified of taking part in the genealogy series, which is now celebrating its 20th anniversary. "They don’t tell you what you’re about to embark on and what they’ve found. What if they find something awful, like there’s a serial killer in the family? Because they go so far back I was nervous about what they could uncover. I spoke to my mum and she said even if they find something really bad, it’s not you." She pauses. "But at the same time, it’s your bloodline isn’t it?" She had considered taking part in the show in previous seasons, but her anxiety got the better of her. So, what changed? "The kids are that little bit older. My son turned 10 a couple of days ago and my daughter’s six, so it felt like a good time to do it. They’re at an age when they’re taking so much on board and they want to know about their family." Ennis-Hill was…

description: Your guide to wrestling at the Olympic Games 2024, including TV coverage and schedule.
encoded: One of the oldest sports in the world, and a mainstay of the Olympics, wrestling is divided into two types - Freestyle and Greco-Roman for the men, and Freestyle for the women, with each type having six weight divisions. In Greco-Roman wrestling, it is forbidden to attack your opponent’s legs, making competitors rely on upper-body and hip strength to flip and throw their opponents. Freestyle wrestlers, on the other hand, can make swift attacks on their opponents' legs for speedy takedowns. Points are awarded for throws, holds and takedowns. If a wrestler achieves a 10-point lead over their opponent in Freestyle, or eight points in Greco-Roman, then they will win by a "Technical Fall", the wrestling equivalent of boxing’s TKO. A more immediate win can be achieved by successfully pinning your opponent to the mat, automatically ending the match. Check out our Olympics on today guide, including hand-picked highlights from Olympic gold medallists and experts Historically, there were no time limits on matches, leading to the infamous 1912 Olympic match in which it took 11 hours for the victor to achieve the necessary winning margin. Fortunately, these days, matches are limited to two three-minute rounds. RadioTimes.com brings you our guide to wrestling at the Olympic Games in 2024.
