TL;DR: Live stream the women's 1,500m final at Paris 2024 for free on BBC iPlayer. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.


There's so much incredible, pulse-pounding athletics at Paris 2024 that it's hard to know which races to concentrate on watching (the answer's all of them of course, but not everyone has the time for that). But if there's one final you really should check out, it's the women's 1,500m.

That's because Kenyan mid-distance dynamo Faith Kipyegon is going for gold at her third consecutive games. Indeed, she nabbed the gold at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. To get the gold for a third time in the same event would be an incredible feat — she'd be the first women in history to do it in a track event.
