Olympic Games 2024: What to expect from the Scots on Monday

Aldridge, meanwhile, goes in the men’s mountain bike event from 13:00. Again, it would be a shock if he gets a medal, but someone has to win them.

The Scots in the rowing squad begin their Olympics, too, with Sholto Carnegie (11:40) and Rowan McKellar (12:00) competing in the heats of the men’s and women’s eight respectively.

In the water off Marseille, sailor Fynn Sterritt goes in the second block of three races in the men’s skiff 49er.

The 35-year-old from Kingussie will be joined by James Peters in what is officially described as “a light open dinghy with a self-draining hull” – so a wee boat, basically.

In the women’s rugby sevens, Lisa Thomson will be involved when GB play South Africa (13:00) and hopefully in a quarter final later in the day.

In hockey, Amy Costello, Charlotte Watson, Sarah Robertson will be in action as GB’s women face Australia (16:00) in their second pool match.
