All eyes will be on the Bercy Arena, where the first medals in artistic gymnastics will be awarded in the men's team competition.


Five golds are on the line at the swimming, while Olympic champions will also be crowned in shooting, diving, equestrian, mountain biking, skateboarding, archery, judo, fencing and canoe slalom.

A twice world champion in the event, the 17-year-old made the world record her own in May, but American Katie Grimes also has a point to prove after two silver medals at the worlds.


Gold medals will also be on the line in the men's 200m freestyle and 100m backstroke finals as well as the women's 200m freestyle and 100m breaststroke title deciders.


American Robert Finke also begins his title defence in the heats of the rarely seen 800m freestyle, which is being held for only the third time in Olympic history.


FIRST ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS GOLD ON OFFER


The first medals for gymnastics at the Paris Olympics will be handed out on Monday after the men's team event.

HUSTON SEEKS SKATEBOARDING REDEMPTION


American Nyjah Huston will have redemption on his mind as he drops in at La Concorde for the men's street event, after rain forced its postponement on Saturday.


The six-times world champion was one of the hot favourites three years ago in Tokyo but fell four times in the final to finish seventh.

CHINA TIPPED TO EXCEL AT SHOOTING RANGE


Sheng Lihao combined with Huang Yuting to win China's first gold in the 10 metre air rifle mixed team event on Saturday and both will be gunning for a second gold, this time in their individual events.


World record holder Sheng topped Sunday's qualification, proving he is enjoying a rich vein of form. Huang made the final in the women's section but South Korean Ban Hyo-jin gave a hint of the strength of the competition with an Olympic record.


NO LOVE LOST AT THE JUDO


The judo competition saw controversy before the day even began, with Algeria's Messaoud Redouane Dris disqualified from his match against Israeli judoka Tohar Butbul in the under 73kg weight class.


Athletes from Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Algeria have refused to compete against Israeli opponents in the past.

LIGHT WINDS AT THE SAILING


With the forecast for light winds for the second day of the sailing in Marseille on Monday, conditions are likely to again test the patience and concentration of the men's and women's skiff crews.

CRACKING ATMOSPHERE AT RUGBY SEVENS


It's the second day of the women's rugby sevens competition, with the final round of pool games in the afternoon and four quarter-finals in the evening.
