Simone Biles wins gold in all-around gymnastics; Angela Carini abandons Imane Khelif fight; Summer McIntosh wins gold in 200m butterfly; Cam McEvoy fastest 50m freestyle qualifier

Barring a disaster, Kaylee McKeown should make the final of this event, where she is a world record holder. She is aiming to become the first woman to complete the 100-200 backstroke double since Romania’s Diana Mocanu in 2000.

Her only main rival is Regan Smith, who will be knackered after that 200 butterfly final. She’ll need to dig deep to get a decent lane for tomorrow’s final.

Esteemed colleague Tom Decent rushed down to the mixed zone just before Cam McEvoy’s semi-final, but not before some parting words about how the Aussie veteran might go.

Something in the 21.3 or 21.2 seconds region would be ideal, he predicted, and a 21.1 would be a chef’s kiss (he actually did the little sign and then ran off).

It wasn’t quite that quick but McEvoy’s 21.38 seconds was a dead heat with Team GB’s Benjamin Proud to qualify first for the final, so the 30-year-old is in a very, very good position.

Blink and you’ll miss ’em, the 50m semis are upon us.

Australian Cam McEvoy does it easy, touching the wall with the exact same 21.38s time as Great Britain’s Benjamin Proud.

Earlier American Caeleb Dressel stunned in the opening semi from the outside lanes. The American champion came in behind Jordan Crooks of the Cayman Islands by all of a fingernail – Crooks prevailing with 21.54 to Dressel’s 21.58.

Aussie Ben Armbruster well down the list with 21.94, that’ll be his event run and done there.

Over to the hockey quickly at quarter-time and the Hockeyroos are trailing 2-0 to Argentina after the first stanza.

Keeper Jocelyn Bartram has kept the Australians in it with some clutch saves but goals to Lara Casas and Victoria Sauze Valdez have the South Americans well-placed early on in this group B clash.

Both sides came into this one with 3-0 records and Australia sit atop the group B pile with only one goal conceded, but already the Argentinians have paid little mind to that record. A quarter-final berth is still very much in Australia’s sights, but Argentina have shortened them up a bit early here.

She’s just blown the Olympic record to bits.

Her 2:03.03 not only took 0.83 seconds off Zhang Yufei’s OR set in 2021, and 1.3 seconds of her own PB set last year, but it was also the second-fastest swim of all time behind only, well, you guessed it, the world record (Liu Zige’s 2:01.81 from back in 2009 while wearing a super suit).

Just a reminder: she is 17 years old.

Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh has claimed her second gold medal in Paris, along with a new Olympic record.

She won 200m butterfly gold in 2:03.03, ahead of Regan Smith of the United States who came in second with China’s Zhang Yufei taking bronze.

That’s Smith’s fourth Olympic silver medal – she’s yet to win that elusive gold.

Australia’s Abbey Lee Connor and Lizzie Dekkers were slow off the blocks and couldn’t make up the time they lost in the first 100 metres, finishing in fourth and seventh.
