All the latest from Paris as the summer Olympic Games loom, with the first events due to start on Wednesday
French authorities have recalled Paris 2024-branded metal water bottles containing excessive levels of the endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A, less than a week before the start of the Olympics.
The bottles made by French company Vilac contain levels of the chemical that are “not in compliance with regulations”, the government website Rappel Conso said.
The last time that China and the US didn’t top the summer Olympics medal table was 2016, when Team GB snuck past China into second place, beating the Asian nation by one gold medal, 27 to 26. Before that, you have to go back to Sydney 2000, when Russia comfortably secured second place behind the US.
