Moments in Time: The best photos of the first week

Team GB have delivered some incredible moments during the first week of the Paris Olympic Games and thankfully, there were photographers there to capture them.

From medal moments to the heat of battle, photographs have the unique skill of capturing a freeze frame of the highs and lows of top-level sport.

Here we take a look at some of the best photos of the first week of Paris 2024.

Writing a new Page in the history books

Bryony Page won Team GB's first-ever gold in women's gymnastics and added the trampolining title to the silver and bronze she had won at the two previous Games.

Eyes on the prize

Olympic debutant Anna Hursey is just 18 years old and has been competing internationally since she was 10.

The margin of victory

Tom Pidcock's golden win in the men's mountain bike race was not as clear cut as the photo suggests with only a late challenge seeing him past Victor Koretzky.

Jump Around

You had to suspend disbelief as Andy Murray and Dan Evans fought back from match points in two consecutive matches in the tennis mixed doubles.

The fairytale ending to Murray's career did not come, but his legacy lasts.

Watch the drop

Joe Clarke is the reigning world champion in the kayak cross which sees four paddlers on the white-water course at the same time, with a race to the bottom.

The competition continues on Sunday.

'I just did that?'

At his first Olympic Games, Jake Jarman claimed floor bronze and was delighted as the results were announced.

He goes again in the vault final on Sunday.

The Olympic Spirit

Hayden Wilde shows the best of Olympic sport by congratulating Alex Yee after both had put their bodies on the line in the men's triathlon.

Yee claimed gold after overtaking Wilde right at the end for one of the most dramatic golds you will ever see.

Canoe believe it?

Adam Burgess and Kimberley Woods put it all out there during their canoe slalom runs and then it is a look to the scoreboard to know if you have done enough.
