Paris Olympics Day 15: Three Malaysians in the hunt [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: As the Paris Games approach the penultimate day, three Malaysians remain in contention, bringing the nation's hopes to a thrilling close.

The action on Day 15 begins with golfer Ashley Lau taking her final tee-off at 3pm. While it hasn't been the debut she envisioned, the experience gained will undoubtedly fuel her future Olympic aspirations.

Later in the day, the attention shifts to Malaysia's top male track cyclists, Datuk Azizulhasni Awang and Shah Firdaus Sahrom, who will compete in the first round of the men's keirin at 11:19pm. Should the duo advance, they move on to the next round, scheduled for 1:21am.

Among the Olympic highlights yesterday was Algeria's Imane Khelif winning the women's welterweight final amid controversy regarding her gender.

In basketball, France and the United States are gearing up for a golden double showdown, with both nations' men's and women's teams set to face off in the finals.

American lifter Olivia Reeves delivered an impressive performance, clinching the 71-kilogramme weightlifting gold with a total lift of 262kg.

With two days of the Olympics left, the United States lead the medal standings with 33 gold, 39 silver and 39 bronze. The US have won the top spot in the Olympics 18 times in history.

China follow closely behind with 33 gold, 27 silver and 23 bronze while Australia hold third place with 18 gold, 16 silver and 14 bronze.

The final days of the Paris Olympics promise an exciting conclusion as the battle for the top of the medal table intensifies.
