They were first at the Stade de France for the Women’s Heptathlon to see Nafi Thiam and Noor Vidts compete; the heptathlon event combines 100 metre hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metre dash, long jump, javelin throw and 800 metre run. 

The four young royals then were at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome to watch track cycling. Nicky Degrendele was unfortunately caught up in a crash in her race and placed eleventh. The siblings were able to see Fabio Van den Bossche secure a Bronze medal for Belgium in the Men’s Track Cycling and congratulate him afterwards.

Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel and Princess Leonore were also able to take the iconic Olympic photo- a family photo in front of the Olympic Rings.
