2024 Paris Olympics LIVE: Golden girl Keely Hodgkinson storms to victory in women’s 800m final – as Armand Duplantis breaks pole vault world record

Some reaction now from Hodgkinson to her Olympic gold.

‘That was absolutely incredible,’ Hodgkinson said.

‘I’ve worked so hard for this over the last year. I think you could see how much it meant to me when I crossed the line.

‘I can’t believe I’ve finally done it.

‘I could feel Mary pushing me on the back straight, but I had composure and got to the line first this time. I’m now the Olympic champion for the next four years and no one can take that away from me.

‘I’m just super happy I could bring it home, not just for me and my team, but for everyone.’

From a British perspective, the big story of the night is Keely Hodgkinson’s stunning gold in the women’s 800m final.

Hodgkinson came in as the clear favourite and delivered.

Allow me to point you in the direction of David Coverdale’s report on her triumph from the Stade de France.

Thierry Henry’s men are facing a semi-final exit as it stands in the men’s football tournament.

The hosts are behind against Egypt with 15 minutes to go in Lyon.

Mahmoud Saber opened the scoring just after the hour mark.

His first effort was blocked, but there was no saving his second as Saber rifled a shot into the roof of the French net.

In the other field event this evening, it is gold for the United States in the women’s discus final.

Valarie Allman threw 69.50 metres to win gold ahead of China’s Feng Bin, who takes silver with an effort of 67.51m.

London 2012 and Rio 2016 gold medallist Sandra Elkasevic takes bronze with the same distance.

ABBA is now playing at Stade de France.

France is going Swedish in honour of Duplantis.

A massive cheer as Duplantis rings the bell in the venue. Athletics needs its superstars and he is one of them.

He has even more cause for celebration now!

Armand Duplantis has broken his own world record to cap an incredible evening.

Duplantis had failed twice at 6.25m, one centimetre higher than he managed back in April.

His third and final attempt is perfect as he flies over the bar.

The Swedish star sprints away and celebrates with his family in the crowd.

His rivals are applauding him. A stunning performance.

Duplantis has also appeared to imitate Turkish shooting star Yusuf Dikec, who went viral after winning a silver medal earlier in the Games.

Dikec attraction attention for his seemingly casual approach to his final.

Duplantis has unveiled a similar shooting style celebration.

While our attention has been on the women’s 800m final, Armand Duplantis has been doing his thing in the men’s pole vault.

The Swedish superstar has retained his Olympic title with the United States’ Sam Kendricks bowing out in second place after three failures at 6.00m.

Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis wins the bronze medal having cleared 5.90m, before bwoing out at 5.90m.

Duplantis is still going though.

He has already set an Olympic record of 6.10m and the question is how much higher will he go tonight.

Someone has given Keely Hodgkinson a crown which she has placed on her head.

Suspect that image will be seen widely on social media and in the paper

Wonderful scenes track side as Hodgkinson celebrates with her family in the crowd and collects the Union Jack.

She is the first British athlete to claim Olympic gold on the track since Mo Farah at Rio 2016.

Hodgkinson had finished as the silver medallist at Tokyo 2020, as well as finishing as the runner-up at the World Championships twice and the Commonwealth Games.

What a relief it will be to have secured gold and not just gold, Olympic gold.

Hodgkinson has claimed the Olympic title!

The British middle distance star came in as the clear favourite and has delivered under pressure.

And boy did the pressure come.

Kenya’s Mary Moraa came onto Hodgkinson’s shoulder around the final bend and threatened to go past.

Moraa pushed really hard to move past to deny Hodgkinson’s again at a major championship.

But not this time. Hodgkinson pushes on in the final 100 metres and establishes a gap to her long-time rival.

She crosses the line in a winning time of 1:56.72.

Ethopia’s Tsige Duguma came across the line in 1:57.15 to win silver, while Moraa fades to take bronze in 1:57.42.

Ethiopia’s Tsige Duguma rakes out the pace during the opening 300 metres, but Hodgkinson moves to the front as well reach the bell.

A smile and wave from Keely Hodgkingson as she is introduced to the crowd at the Stade de France.

Hodgkingson jogs past her rivals to then take her place on the start line.

The women’s 800m final is underway…

Faith Kipyegon has been disqualified from the women’s 5,000m final following her collision with Gudaf Tsegay.

Kipyegon loses the silver medal, with Sifane Hassan moving up to second.

Nadia Battocletti has been bumped up to bronze.

Less than 10 minutes now until the women’s 800m final is due to start.

Keely Hodgkinson is the outstanding favourite in the field and has the world lead this year with 1:54.61.

Kenya’s Mary Moraa should prove the biggest threat to Hodgkinson.

Moraa beat Hodgkinson in the Commonwealth Games final in 2022 and the World Championship final last year.

The Kenyan team race to the front as the bell sounds with Faith Kipyegon taking the lead and pulling away from the field.

Beatrice Chebet remains in touch and moves up onto her shoulder as the two Kenyans move into the home straight.

Chebet has the finishing speed to pull clear in the closing metres to claim gold in 14:28.56, ending one second clear of Kipyegon.

Sifan Hassan completes the podium places in 14:30.61 in the shortest of her races in Paris.

Gudaf Tsegay faded badly in that last lap, with the Ethiopian finishing down in ninth place.

Gudaf Tsegay hits the front with two laps to go.

The Ethiopian appeared to clip Faith Kipyegon as she moved into the lead.

Faith Kipyegon beat Hassan to 5,000m gold at last summer’s World Championships.

World record-holder Gudaf Tsegay is the favourite to triumph here though.

Tsegay is currently well placed in second with four laps to go.

Defending champion Sifan Hassan goes for gold in the women’s 5,000m on the track.

Hassan is bidding to win a quite frankly mad triple gold in Paris, with the Dutch distance runner also going in the women’s 10,000m and marathon.

She claimed gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m in Tokyo, as well as the bronze in the women’s 1,500m.

That’s what you call range.

Around 30 minutes or so to go until Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson goes for gold in the women’s 800m final.

Hodgkinson has the world lead this year and impressed in yesterday’s semi-finals.

The 22-year-old is aiming to upgrade on the silver medal she claimed in Tokyo.

The men’s pole vault competition is heading towards the six metres mark.

Olympic champion Armand Duplantis has gone clear with his first attempt at 5.96m, with United States’ Sam Kendricks matching him by securing a season best.

A repeat of the last semi-final as an American wins ahead of a British sprinter.

Brittany Brown wins in a time of 22.12 having edged ahead of Daryll Neita in the closing stages of the race.

Neita is safely through to the final in second place in 22.24.

Daryll Neita is up in the last of the women’s 200m semi-finals.

She was fourth in the 100m and will hope to make her second final of the Games.

Wow. That is an excellent run from Thomas.

Dina Asher-Smith leads off the bend from Thomas, but the American surges clear in the closing stages to win the second semi-final in a time of 21.86.

There is good news and bad news from a Team GB perspective.

Asher-Smith finishes comfortably in second place in 22.31 to automatically advance to tomorrow’s final.

Bianca Williams, however, will not advance as one of the fastest non-automatically qualifiers.

The second semi-final features the United States’ Gabrielle Thomas, last year’s World Championship silver medallist.

The American was beaten by Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson in Budapest last year.

Jackson withdraw from both the 100m and 200m in Paris, meaning Thomas is favourite for gold.

The Toyko 2020 Olympic bronze medallist has a season best of 21.78.

Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith also goes in this second semi-final.

Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred remains on course for the sprint double.

Alfred powers down the final 100m metres to win the opening semi-final in 21.98 seconds.

Favour Ofili of Nigeria is second in 22.05.

Britain’s Bianca Williams is fourth in a season best time of 22.58 seconds.

She will have to wait to see whether that is enough to qualify as one of the two fastest losers.

From the men’s 200m first round to the women’s 200m semi-finals.

There is British interest with Bianca Williams, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita all in action.

Williams goes in the opening semi-final, which includes the new women’s 100m Olympic champion Julien Alfred.

The top two go through automatically from each of the three semi-finals.

The newly crowned men’s 100m champion cruises through in the men’s 200m heats.

The reigning champion wins the final first round heat in a time of 20.19 seconds.

Lyles is the sixth fastest qualifer but the main thing was to secure a semi-final spot.

His compatriots Kenneth Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton both dipped under 20 seconds, qualifying fastest in 199.96 and 19.99 respectively.

If you missed it early, Britain’s Zharnel Hughes withdrew from the event due to a hamstring issue.

Team GB’s women’s team sprinters have just received their gold medals at the veldrome.

Emma Finucane, speaking to the BBC, said claiming gold was a ‘dream come true’.

‘Honestly we’ve been working really hard on this and you will hear this a lot from us but the process is really key,’ Finucane said.

‘We nailed that final and I believed in us before we went up to do it but to execute lap one, lap two and lap three pretty much perfectly and then to cross the line first, I was like ‘no way’.

‘It’s just a dream come true and to have these two by my side is unreal.

What a summer for the Spanish football team.

Glory at Euro 2024 could swiftly be followed by a gold medal for their Olympic team.

Spain had trailed against Morocco by a goal from Fermin Lopez brought them level.

Lopez then turned provider with Juanlu Sanchez completing the turnaround with just five minutes of normal time remaining.

There was a VAR check to see whether the ball went out of play, but the goal was given.

Spain held on to secure a 2-1 win to book their place in a final against France or Egypt.

It is heartbreak for Morocco though.

Here is the moment Team GB secured gold in the women’s team sprint moments ago.

Three superb rides under pressure from the British trio.

Emma Finucane has just described the ride as ‘perfect’ in the gold medal ride.

As noted by Team GB’s social media.

It is the first time Britain have won gold in the women’s team sprint event.

Well worth noting that Emma Finucane came into the Games as the reigning world sprint champion.

Finucane will have high hopes in that event and the keirin.

It is gold for Britain in the women’s team sprint final in another world record time!

The British team of Katy Marchant, Sophie Capewell and Emma Finucane were narrowly down after the first lap against New Zealand.

Capewell’s second lap helped turn the deficit into an advantage, handing over to Finucane.

The British sprint star extended their advantage on the final lap to seal gold in 45.186 seconds.

It is three world records in a row for Team GB to secure gold on the opening day in the velodrome.

Silver goes to New Zealand’s Rebecca Petch, Shaane Fulton and Ellesse Andrews.

Germany have claimed bronze in the women’s team sprint against the Netherlands with a dominant ride.

Pauline Grabosch, Emma Hinze and Lea Friedrich lead throughout the ride, leading in each of the three laps.

Friedrich crosses the line in 45.400 to complete the job for Germany.

Disappointment for Kyra Lamberink, Hetty van de Wouw and Steffie van der Peet, as the Dutch miss out on the podium.

It is time for the gold medal ride now between Britain and the Netherlands.

The women’s team sprint medal rides are coming up, with the rides for the minor places currently taking place.

Britain’s Katy Marchant, Sophie Capewell and Emma Finucane have set two world records today to qualify for the gold medal ride.

The trio may need to go even faster against New Zealand to secure top spot on the podium.

Germany and the Netherlands will compete for the bronze medal.

Just 10 minutes to go in the first of the men’s football semi-finals.

Fermin Lopez has brought Spain level against Morocco, darting onto a loose ball in the box before firing a low left footed shot beyond the goalkeeper.

An excellent finish from the Barcelona man.

There are few bigger stars in athletics at the moment than Sweden’s Armand Duplantis.

The men’s pole vault world record holder, both outdoors and indoors, will be going tonight to defend his Olympic title.

The 24-year-old eased over his opening height of the competition at 5.70 metres.

Duplantis acheived his world record height of 6.24m in April, so the question could be tonight, how high could he go?

Stunning from Jack Carlin, who produces a blistering final lap.

The British team were fifth after the first lap and third after the second, when Hamish Turnbull handed over to Carlin.

Carlin roared around the track to cross the line in a time of 41.862. That puts Team GB fastest with only the Dutch left to go in qualifying.

Roy van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland won gold at Tokyo 2020 and have set the standard here.

The trio have finished 0.583 faster than the British team, qualifying first in an Olympic record time.

A great start for Team GB though.

Britain’s men’s team sprinters will be hoping to replicate the success of the women’s team at the National Velodrome.

Ed Lowe, Hamish Turnbull and Jack Carlin are the seventh to ride in qualification, which is currently taking place.

The top eight teams advance to the first round of the competition.

Australia have set the standard so far by clocking 42.072 seconds.

The first men’s football semi-final is currently in the second half, with Morocco holding a 1-0 lead against Spain.

Soufiane Rahimi scored from the penalty spot in the first half to put Morocco in front.

Morocco will be aiming to become the third African nation to win the men’s Olympic football title.

Nigeria were gold medallists at Atlanta 1996, with Cameroon triumphing at Sydney 2000.

France and Egypt meet in the second semi-final later tonight.

Katy Marchant, Sophie Capewell and Emma Finucane have lowered the world record further!

The British trio will race for gold against New Zealand later on tonight.

Finucane crosses the line in 45.338 seconds as Britain set their second world record of the day.

The record has been broken four times today!

The British team are assured of at least silver but will be eyeing gold when they face New Zealand.

Germany and the Netherlands will ride for the bronze medal.

New Zealand’s Rebecca Petch, Shaane Fulton and Ellesse Andrews have beaten Poland in their first round.

And it is another world record time.

New Zealand qualfy for the gold medal ride in 45.348.

Team GB need to better Germany’s time to join New Zealand.

China have won the women’s team sprint event for the last two Olympic Games, but they will not at Paris 2024.

The Chinese team have been beaten by the Netherlands in the first round, so will not advance to the medal rides.

World champions Germany have gone next and have set a world record of 45.377, going quicker than Team GB managed earlier.

Germany overcame Mexico in their first round.

The Netherlands and Germany have sealed a medal ride.

Who will join them. Team GB go in the final heat.

Over to the velodrome now.

Team GB were the fastest qualifiers in the women’s team sprint, meaning they ride against Canada in the first round.

The two fastest winning teams in the first round will ride for the gold medal later this evening.

The two slowest winning teams will go for the bronze medal.

Disappointment for Team GB in the women’s hockey quarter-finals.

The Netherlands have proved too strong in this last eight tie and emerge as 3-1 winners.

British hockey interest ends at Paris 2024.

The women’s hockey team fall at the same stage as the men, who were beaten in a shoot-out by India on Sunday.

Britain take off goalkeeper Miriam Pritchard for the closing minutes to have an additional outfield player.

Just a couple of minutes remain.

Five minutes to go and the Netherlands still lead 3-1.

Team GB are heading out unless they do something remarkable.

Luna Fokke is there again for the Netherlands to convert a rebound after Maria Verschoor sees her shot saved.

Britain now need two goals in what is left of the fourth quarter to stay alive.

Defending champions Italy have only managed to go fourth fastest in men’s team pursuit qualifying.

That means Team GB finish second in qualifying and will ride against Denmark in the first round tomorrow. Top qualifiers Australia will face Italy.

The hooter sounds for the end of the third quarter of the women’s hockey quarter-final.

The Netherlands are still lead 2-1.

Britain need to muster a response in the final quarter or their Games will end.

In the closing five minutes of the third quarter.

The Netherlands still lead 2-1 with no further scoring in the second half so far.

The match still remains in the balance and Team GB will be hoping to find a way to level the score.

Britain have been replaced at the top of the men’s team pursuit standings with Australia posting a qualification time of 3:42.958.

Denmark looked on course to break the world record during their ride but fell off the pace in closing kilometre and have finished in third.

Team GB remain second in the standings with only the reigning Olympic champions Italy still to ride.

Here is the moment the Netherlands went back ahead in the women’s hockey quarter-finals.

Team GB were not happy about the decision.

With 21 seconds left of the women’s hockey quarter-final, the Netherlands are back ahead.

A Dutch penalty corner sees Yibbi Jansen’s shot saved by Miriam Pritchard, but there is a scramble for the rebound.

Luna Fokke eventually flicks into the net as the Dutch go 2-1 up, but Team GB use a referral.

There are convinced there was a foul in the build-up, but the video referee sticks with the on field decision.

Team GB lose their video referral as a result too.

The more important thing is that the Dutch are back ahead and that’s half-time.

Back to the velodrome and qualifying for the men’s individual pursuit.

The British quartet of Ethan Hayter, Oliver Wood, Dan Bigham and Ethan Vernon have achieved a time of 3:43.241 in their qualficiation ride.

The time currently puts them at the top of the standings with five teams left to go.

Eight teams advance to the first round, where teams will again be seeded by how fast they went in qualifying.

Team GB have won the event for three successive Olympics, but the run ended at Tokyo 2020 where the team were off the pace.

My main memory of that was some animosity between Britain and Denmark following a crash, as the Danes overtook Team GB.

Italy were gold medallists three years ago, with Denmark winning the silver medal.

Britain are back level in the women’s hockey quarter-finals via a penalty corner.

Hannah French converts on the rebound from close range and its level after 20 minutes of this last eight match.

French has now scored three goals in six matches at Paris 2024.

Unsurprisingly given their world record in qualifying, Britain’s women’s team sprint squad having topped the standings over at the velodrome.

All eight teams advance to the first round of the competition, but Team GB will face eighth placed Canada in the next round.

While British success in the velodrome has been almost a sure thing since probably Beijing 2008, the women’s sprint sprinters have struggled in previous Games.

Britain failed to qualify for the team sprint at Rio 2016 despite Becky James and Katy Marchant winning individual silver and bronze.

They also failed to qualfiy for Tokyo 2020, so the turnaround over the last couple of years has been impressive.

The Netherlands are piling Team GB back in the closing stages of this first quarter.

Have to say, it feels like this could be an uphill battle for the British team, who qualified fouth from their group for the quarter-finals.

That meant a last eight encouter with the Dutch, who won all five of their matches in the group stage.

The Netherlands record at the Olympics is an enviable one. They have won three of the last four Olympic goal medals.

Britain famously beat the Netherlands in the other, winning gold at Rio 2016.

Well that was a lovely welcome from Harry, who has steered our live blog superbly throughout the day.

Hate to start on a negative, but Team GB are already behind in the women’s hockey quarter-finals.

Xan de Waard put the Dutch in front in the opening minute of the match.

Just as one of my favourite sports starts, it’s time for me to go…

But don’t worry, I’m leaving you in the capable hands of Michael Pavitt, he will keep you happy.

Be prepared for some dad jokes…

Oh wait, that’s me who does those, Michael is actually funny.

It’s going to be one hell of a night, there are some massive races and sports to come.

Strap yourselves in, and that’s just my message to my colleague…

Chris Boardman, Olympic cycling champion, on BBC One:

I think they will be delighted with that. You just have a sense at the Olympic Games you need world records just to get on the podium here – they’ve delivered a really clean ride.

Oh my word, Great Britain have broken a world record already!

It’s only qualifying but the Great British women have thrown the gauntlet down to go top of the leaderboard with the fastest time ever.

45.472 seconds, that is ridiculous.

Now that is some way to start night one and session one.

A sign of things to come?

The Olympics is stepping it up a gear…

The track cycling is finally getting going and it’s time for the team sprint in a matter of minutes.

The qualifying round is about to get underway for the women and Great Britain will be looking to get a high seed.

I’m so excited, this is going to be a cracking ride to watch!

Helen Reeves, Olympic bronze medallist, speaking on BBC Sport:

How can you not be engrossed and excited by this? Joe Clarke has come back from disappointment in the K1, a fifth place finish a few days ago, and has secured that silver medal.

He was closed out from the beginning, I wonder if that was a tactic to reduce his paddle space to prevent that rapid start that we know he has.

Two medals in a matter of minutes, not bad, eh?

Kimberley Woods and Joe Clarke may have been gunning for gold, but a bronze and a silver will have to do.

And by have to do, I do not want to take anything away from the pair of them. A brilliant achievement.

A special day in the water for Team GB!

Wow, what a performance that is from Finn Butcher.

The New Zealander got a fantastic start and never looked back, there was nothing Joe Clarke would do.

He is euphoric as he crosses the line, you won’t be able to wipe that smile off his face for a very long time.

Joe Clarke gets off to an uncharacteristic slow start.

New Zealand’s Finn Butcher races away and Clarke is chasing him just behind.

He goes to crash into him he gets caught in the stream, he’s struggling just like Woods did.

But he survives and powers back into second, and it’s going to be silver for Clarke.

He looks rather gutted…NOT!

Kimberley Woods’ mistake opened the door for Australia’s Noemie Fox, and my word did she slam it shut.

She can’t believe she has taken gold, the emotion on her face is plain for all to see.

She wins the gold and Angele Hug of France takes silver.

Kimberley Woods gets a flying start!

She gets away brilliantly once again and gets clear water behind her…

But OH NO, she gets caught and falls into second, is that the gold medal gone?

It’s a disaster for Woods, she gets caught on the final gate and falls into last.

But wait, there is a fault for Lilik and Woods takes home bronze.

It’s time for Kimberley Woods.

She points to her head as they call out her name, she looks ready for business.

She has been dreaming of this Olympic medal, can she take gold?

The Brit has been in dominant form and is now ready to go.

It’s gold for Italy in the mixed team skeet.

The pair Diana Bacosi and Gabriele Rossetti both have smiles on their faces, they have won it by the skin of their teeth.

They beat the USA pair of Austen Jewell Smith and Vincent Hancock by just a solitary point, so close.

China’s Jiang Yiting and Lyu Jianlin claim the bronze.

Leon Taylor, Olympic diving silver medallist, on BBC Sport:

Pure class, this young lady is pure class. Well done Andrea, this will be a big score to finish a beautiful list of dives. The rest of the world will be paying close attention to the form she is showing and has been maintaining over the last few years.

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix has just shown why she is a major contender for another medal.

Six superb dives mean she qualifies for the women’s 10m individual final in third place.

Some of her entries were exquisite.

But it’s heartbreak for her partner Lois Toulson, who won bronze in the 10m synchro, she misses out on the final by 12 points – finishing 13th.

I thought she had done enough, but it’s not to be.

Domination, pure domination from Joe Clarke.

He gets out the gate superbly well and powers away from the gun. His speed is frightening.

A nice and easy win for Clarke, he has put a marker down for the rest.

Another kayak cross final for a Team GB athlete, they are flying today.

He has that gold in his sights.

How does Kimberley Woods make it look so easy?

The Team GB athlete takes the lead early in the semi-final and then it’s curtains for the rest of the field.

Once she got away, Woods left everybody in her wake.

The reigning world champion is into the women’s kayak cross final and that will certainly give her confidence.

It’s fair to say that Rebeca Andrade has had an incredible Olympics.

She is taking a lot of metal back to Brazil…

• Gold – Floor Exercise
• Silver – All-Around
• Silver – Vault
• Bronze – Team

Now this is a lovely picture.

Everybody loves Rebeca Andrade in gymnastics, both Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles lead the praise of her.

To see such humility from the athletes who lose out to the winner is always fantastic.

She deserved it and they know it.

Three-time world champion Joe Clarke is looking to add the Kayak cross Olympic gold to his extensive list of accolades.

Well, he’s taken the next step toward doing just that.

Clarke finishes first in his quarter-final after a tussle with Spain’s Manual Ochoa – who gets disqualified.

This really is fast and furious.

So, we have good and bad news…

The good news is that the reigning world champion, Team GB’s Kimberley Woods, has cruised to victory in her quarter-final in women’s kayak cross.

I mean, she made a chaotic race look easy. So impressive.

The bad news is that Mallory Franklin will not be joining her, she has been disqualified.

Rebeca Andrade could not hide her joy at winning Olympic gold on the floor, and why would she.

Brazil flag draped over her shoulders and now a gold medal around her neck, these pictures tell the story.

A lovely moment for a fantastic gymnast.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy…

It may not have been enough to take gold, but Simone Biles provided fireworks in her final routine of this Olympic Games.

Some of the tumbles are spellbinding, I don’t get how she does it, I really don’t.

Always has a smile on her face too.

Have we just seen Simone Biles perform at the Olympics for the last time?

I certainly hope not, she is a legend of the sport.

However, Biles will be 31 years of age when the Los Angeles Olympics rolls around in 2028.

It’s hard to see a scenario where she does keep going, why would she need to? She’s won it all.

The fact she has done what she has in Paris after having the twisties three years ago is just simply sensational.

It’s not to be for Simone Biles, she has to settle for silver.

Biles stepped out twice following some of her exceptional tumbles, and that is what costs her a fourth gold at these Games.

I mean, three isn’t bad, though, is it?

She doesn’t exactly look devastated, she’s had a superb Olympics. Let’s hope it’s not her last.

The drama continues, this is unbelievable.

Jordan Chiles submits an enquiry and the judges change the score to 13.766, which earns her bronze.

She falls down to the ground with tears in her eyes, she is balling her eyes out quite frankly. Chiles’ dream has come true.

It’s devastating for Romania’s Ana Barbosu who is knocked down into fourth.

That’s got to hurt, she thought she had won a medal. Brutal.

Jordan Chiles has not done enough, it’s fifth place for her in this final.

And with all the gymnasts now done it means Rebeca Andrade is the Olympic champion on floor.

She screams and jumps up and down as she realises what she has achieved. After all the silvers, it’s now GOLD.

Jordan Chiles puts in a fabulous display last up.

The tumbles were superb and powerful, an exhibition of how to put in a good floor routine.

I think that will be enough for a medal, but what colour will it be?

She looks very nervous…

Christine Still, Gymnastics expert, speaking on BBC One:

Lovely height on her leaps. Controls the squat spin. Such an impressive tumble and what a great landing. A style all of her own and the most outstanding tumbling we’ve seen in women’s gymnastics.

Simone Biles tumbles bigger and better than we have seen before, as she always does.

After the pressure that was on her, that is sensational. But is it enough to take gold?

Oh my word, she’s edged to silver…

14.133 for Simone Biles to Rebeca Andrade’s 14.166. So close, but not quite enough for Biles.

Andrade can’t believe it!

Costume change, a smile on face, and Simone Biles is ready.

Can she overcome her earlier disappointment and put on a show?

Expect some impressive tumbling…

If you like Kayiking, you are going to love this afternoon.

We have a lot of Kayak cross coming your way, starting with the semi-finals and going all the way through to the final.

Three Team GB athletes are in the battle for medals, Kimberley Woods, the reigning world champion, Mallory Franklin, and champion Joe Clarke.

• Women’s quarter-finals – 14:30 BST
• Men’s quarter-finals – 14:52 BST
• Women’s semi-finals – 15:15 BST
• Men’s semi-finals – 15:28 BST
• Women’s final – 15:55 BST
• Men’s final – 16:00 BST

It’s time for a bit of Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix.

The 10m individual is now underway with the Sirieix involved as well as her synchro partner Lois Toulson.

They need to make the top 12 to ensure a place in the final tomorrow, can they get the job done?

Louis Smith MBE, a multi-medal winning gymnast at the Olympics, on BBC Radio 5 Live:

This is a great routine from Rebecca Andrade. She will be very happy and what a competition she’s had through this Games – she’s been a joy to watch.

Wow, that is super special from Rebeca Andrade!

The Bercy Arena roars with delight as the Brazilian finishes her Olympics in style. Sensational.

The music had me dancing, she was grooving, and her tumbles were spectacular. I really, really enjoyed that.

And so did the judges, she gets a very big score of 14.166 to go top after two.

That will be tough to beat…

It’s time for the last artistic event of these Olympic Games.

It has been an incredible week of action at the Bercy Arena and it culminates with a cracking final.

Simone Biles will want to end it in style, but she has some big challenges.

Manila Esposito is up first, coming off the back of a bronze on beam.

Surprise, surprise, there is a fall. What is happening today?!

Has Simone Biles cleared her head?

Well, we are about to find out…

The American is getting ready to return to the Bercy Arena for the women’s floor final.

She goes up against four of her competitors from the beam, including champion Alice D’Amato and Rebeca Andrade.

Is it time for redemption, or is there another shock on the cards?

Christine Still, Gymnastics expert, speaking on BBC One:

It’s maybe the tension of the wires of the bar, if they’re a little bit tight [it can cause falls]. But the gymnasts have had plenty of time to warm up and the coaches have tension gauges to see what the tension is. It’s very unusual and bizarre.

Shinnosuke Oka is the new Olympic champion in high bar!

The Japanese gymnast didn’t put in an exceptional display, but he didn’t need to in what was a weird final.

Meanwhile, history is made for Colombia as Angel Barajas takes the silver medal.

China’s Zhang Boheng takes the bronze, even though he took a tumble on the dismount.

It really was just a bizarre half an hour that…

Right, this is getting ridiculous now!

Another gymnast falls upon landing after a strong routine on the bar, this time it’s Su Weide of China.

Is there something wrong with the mat, or have they just all lost their confidence? This never happens.

I can not believe what I am watching, it’s just bizarre.

I really don’t understand what is going on a the Bercy Arena?

If you thought the falls in the beam were bad, then you’ll change your mind if you watch this men’s horizontal bar final.

Cyprus’ Marios Georgiou, Takaaki Sugino of Japan and now China’s Zhang Boheng have all fallen on the dismount.

This is just crazy, I have never seen this amount of mistakes in a gymnastic Olympic final before.

It’s like a bug that is just spreading…

As I type this, another one is down like he has been shot by a sniper. This time it’s Tin Srbic from Croatia.

Christine Still, Gymnastics expert, speaking on BBC One:

I don’t think we’ve ever seen Simone at a major championships fall off the beam. She’s so secure on that series, normally. It was a shame because she was so emphatic in those first few lengths.

This is the question on everybody’s lips.

Simone Biles slipped up in the beam final, taking a tumble and not even managing a medal.

She looked extremely angry afterward – angrier than we have ever seen her before.

Well, she needs to clear her head very quickly…

In just an hour’s time, Biles will be back at the Bercy Arena for the women’s floor final.

Can she turn her day around by winning gold?

We will be seeing Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix in just over an hour.

She safely qualified for the women’s 10m platform semi-finals where she will take on her partner from the synchro, Lois Toulson.

That must be a weird feeling. She is suddenly competing against the diver you won bronze with just days ago.

Both of them will be aiming for medals once again.

David Coverdale, Mail Sport, in Paris:

Zharnel Hughes has withdrawn from the 200m heats tonight due to hamstring tightness which requires monitoring for the next 48 hours. No decision has been taken as yet in relation to his relay involvement.

Just look at what it means!

This is why we love the Olympics, not everything goes as everyone thinks it will. Not many would have had their money on Alice D’Amato.

But she delivered when it mattered, while others faltered.

Beth Tweddle, London 2012 bronze medallist, speaking on BBC One:

We usually say about the beam that who stays on wins a medal, and unfortunately, that’s the way it’s gone. There was a lot of errors in that final. The two Italians went out and did their routines cleanly, and that’s the result.

The pressure of an Olympic final is so much and you only have to be slightly off line and that’s game over. You cannot pull it back. They were going for some difficult elements out there.

Who would have predicted this podium before the event took place?

I certainly would not have…

A one-three for Italy as they gain their first medals in the history of beam, what a day for them.

Let’s look at the podium in full:

1. Alice D’Amato (Italy)
2. Zhou Yaqin (China)
3. Manila Esposito (Italy)

I’m still in shock, I really am.

Simone Biles is normally flawless, but just like so many before her, she slipped up when it mattered.

Biles had a face like death when she fell off the beam, just look at the anger in her eyes. I have never seen her like that before.

That anger stayed until the very end…

Oh my word, Rebeca Andrade misses out on a medal!

The Brazilian puts in a lovely display and you think that gold has her name on it.

But no, no medal of any colour for her.

That means Alice D’Amato is the Olympic champion in beam and she is in tears. What a final.

The tension in the Bercy Arena could be cut with a knife.

Simone Biles is made to wait an age for her score as the judges decide following her fall.

I mean, the other scores took a while but this is a bit silly…

But here it is, and oh my word, it’s a lowly 13.100. Biles is out of the medal positions with one gymnast still to come.

A huge chance for Rebeca Andrade to take gold!

Simone Biles has fallen off the beam following a series of flips and that is the gold gone, surely?

Biles never usually falls, she is normally so perfect, but not today.

She’s not a happy bunny after it either, she complains about the atmosphere in the stadium.

Her dreams of a fourth gold are over.

Now that’s how you do the beam!

What a performance that is Alice D’Amato of Italy, she doesn’t fall, has no wobbles and boy that dismount was special.

And she goes into the lead with 14.366, she had guaranteed herself a medal with a massive score.

Only Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade are left. Biles is next…

Christine Still, Gymnastics expert, speaking on BBC One:

It’s amazing, if one gymnast falls, even though they’re not connected to each other at all, it will rattle everybody.

What is going on at the Bercy Arena?

Every single gymnast seems to be having some jitters and falls are happening left, right, and centre.

Sabrina Voinea from Romania has just fallen off twice in a single routine, she is devastated as she walks away.

I wonder if these nerves have affected Simone Biles?

If you haven’t seen it, here you go.

Sunias was a massive favorite for a medal coming into this beam final, but her hopes have now been crushed.

She was having a brilliant routine, all was looking well… then boom. She falls. It was a heavy one as well.

In the blink of an eye, her routine was ruined.

Christine Still, Gymnastics expert, speaking on BBC One:

Sunisa Lee really did go for broke and it just didn’t quite work out. I am very surprised at that because she’s a very composed gymnast. It was a strange one, because she did have both feet on. You only need to be a centimetre off line and you can’t really recover from it.

A big mistake from one of the favourites!

American gymnast Sunisa Lee has just fallen off the beam and she looks gutted, really gutted.

Everything was going so well to that point as well, but it was just one tumble too many.

That really look like it hurt. She just slipped after landing the flip and smashed into the floor.

As time has passed since the fall, she has found her smile. That’s good to see.

She scores 13.100, which won’t be enough for the medals.

Oh, I am absolutely buzzing to watch this one.

You just know that this beam final is going to be a cracker with Simone Biles going head-to-head with Rebeca Andrade again.

Don’t forget Sunisa Lee either, she will definitely be in medal contention.

There are some massive gymnasts in this final!

Molly Caurdery, Team GB pole vaulter:

I’m just crushed. I’ve only got a few competitions left, so I am heartbroken. It’s been a really hard year and I wanted to come out and do myself proud and I really feel like I haven’t.

This is the first time I was pain-free all year, so I don’t really know what happened. I know it sounds daft, but the track and the environment and everything was too good and I was caught on the back foot, which is frustrating about pole vault.

I just wanted to come out and do my dad proud. He passed away in November, and I really hope that I did that even though it didn’t go well. My priority is to be a mum now, so I want to start a family with my husband.

Laviai Nielsen is on fire in Paris.

Just one night after securing bronze in the 4x400m relay, Nielson has now delivered in the individual.

She has cruised through to the semi-finals, there is certainly a lot more in the tank.

The beam is the one that got away.

Simone Biles has won seven Olympic golds in her career, but none of them have been on the beam.

Both her Olympic bronzes have come on that piece of apparatus.

There is no doubt that Biles will be desperate to change that today, and the way she has been performing, I can see her doing it.

Fireworks are about to go off.

Anonymous: Cocky Caudery, should have come in at a low height and built her way up, instead goes for a height she should clear but has three failures and is going home.

Katharine Merry, Former GB 400m runner, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live:

Nobody is going to believe this. This is the biggest shock in the track and field of this Olympics. Molly Caudery has gone over a height of 4.92m [this season] – 4cm higher than anyone else in the world.

She decided to come in at an opening height of 4.55m. In her pool nobody else entered at that height, everyone else came in at an earlier height.

Zou Jingyuan has won gold in the men’s parallel bars after a sensational routine.

Once I saw him take to the bars, I knew he had won it within the first five seconds. He is streets ahead of the rest of the world.

Ukraine’s Ilia Kovtun takes silver while it’s bronze for Japan’s new superstar gymnast, Shinnosuke Oke.

I am speechless, what a routine that is from Zou Jingyuan.

he shows exactly why he is the Olympic champion, his routine is simply faultless on the parallel bars. The score will be huge.

That is surely the gold medal for Zou and China. There is no way anybody is beating that.

Oh dear, oh dear… it’s heartbreak for Molly Caudery.

Britain’s Olympic bronze medallist from Tokyo, Holly Bradshaw, has already been knocked out of the women’s pole vault.

Now Caudery follows in her footsteps.

The Brit can’t beat the 4.55m at the third time of asking and her dreams of the final are over.

I told you it was a mammoth score…

Ilia Kovtun still leads this men’s parallel bars final with just three gymnasts still to go.

His biggest challenge to the lead is coming up next as Zou Jingyuan takes to the mat.

He is the current Olympic champion, and my word he is special.

What a final. What a winner. What a sport.

An Se Young’s domination of badminton continues as the Republic of Korea athlete adds the Olympic title to her list of accolades.

She beats He Bing Jiao of China in straight sets, 21-13 21-16.

An Se is currently sprinting around the arena screaming, I’;m guessing that means she’s happy about it…

Meanwhile, Indonesia have their first medal of the games as Gregoiria Mariska Tunjung takes the bronze.

Pole vault is not going well for Great Britain today…

After Holly Bradshaw’s exit earlier today, Team GB’s Molly Caudery is now struggling in her pool.

She has just failed her second attempt at 4.55m, she only has one more attempt left.

WOW, what a start this is to the men’s parallel bars.

20-year-old Ilia Kovtun has thrown the gauntlet down with a massive score of 15.500.

That could be enough for a medal…

Still seven men to go, though. so I won’t get ahead of myself. It was a belter of a routine.

Before Biles, we have the men.

We are in for another treat in the gymnastics as the men take to the parallel bars.

It’s always an enjoyable watch, and with no GB athletes involved, you can just enjoy it.

Ukraine’s Ilia Kovtun is up first, what can he do?

You know the day is about to get better when Simone Biles takes the stage.

I mean, she is always just box office, isn’t she?

The American gymnast has already won three gold medals at this Olympics in Paris, but she is not done yet.

Biles is gunning for two more golds today as she competes in both the women’s beam and women’s floor finals.

Can she finish the meet with five golds? I mean I wouldn’t bet against her.

But she is once again challenged by Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who has been on her coattails all week.

It’s going to be a cracking watch.

Team GB mixed triathlon team, after being downgraded from gold to silver, speaking to BBC One:

Alex Yee: No [it isn’t disappointing], not at all. I’m amazingly proud of these guys. We did absolutely everything we can for Team GB and I couldn’t be prouder of these guys and the performance we put on today. An amazing day out and an amazing day for the sport as well.

Georgia Taylor-Brown: I think we’ve been pretty good as a collective, just going with the flow, especially with the boys’ race being moved. I think they showed us that you just have to go with it. We didn’t know what was happening last night, we got an email late to say that the race would be happening. I think we’ve all just kept our cool, we’ve enjoyed the whole experience.

Sam Dickinson: The winner was triathlon I think today. It’s known as an individual sport but we’re showing the team element as well which is super important. We’re the lucky people with medals around our necks but there is an army of people who all deserve this medal as much as we do. They’re with us day in and day out, so this one is for all of them.

Oh no, Holly Bradshaw is out of the pole vault.

Only three years ago, Bradshaw won bronze in this event in Tokyo, but this time she will not contest the final.

The Briton is currently in tears as she failed to clear 4.40m three times.

It’s a major, major shock.

Team GB do have another athlete in this event, with Molly Caudery set to take part in the next group.

She will start at 4.55m. Can she qualify, to will she suffer the same fate as Bradshaw?

If you haven’t seen this race yet, here is your chance.

Alistair Chalmers gave absolutely everything to make sure he qualified for the men’s 400m hurdles semi-finals.

He even turned into Clark Kent at the end to ensure he crossed the line in the top three.

Give him a cape for the semi-final.

Actually maybe not, he may trip up on it over the line…

Take a ride back in time… (I’m sorry).

Great Britain have a rich recent history in cycling, it’s been golds galore in the last few Olympics.

We have witnessed the likes of Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny, and Laura Kenny, rip up the track in London, Rio, and Tokyo.

Now it’s time for a new era. Can they deliver?

Is anybody else as excited as I am?

I mean, Cycling is one of the best sports at the Olympics. The drama, the excitement, the atmosphere. It’s just such a brilliant watch.

We will see Team GB in action at the velodrome later today in both men’s and women’s sprint track.

Get strapped in for that later, you won’t want to miss it.

Colin Jackson, Two-time world 110m hurdles champion, speaking on BBC:

Jessie Knight showed that real grit and steel – fired the arms out and got the job done.

It’s photo finish galore this morning!

Britain’s Jessie Knight has somehow pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the women’s 400m hurdles repechage to qualify for the semi-finals.

She has pulled off a Noah Lyles.

Knight was miles back but blitzed the final stretch, pulling the ‘Langford arm’ move to claim second.

I’m not sure how she managed that, she looked out of it. It even looked like she lost the photo finish.

I think we should just rewind an hour or so.

Team GB have already won a medal this morning and that was in the mixed triathlon. My word it was a cracking race.

It was a dramatic finish, with all three triathletes in the final leg sprinting for the line. Just look at all the grimaces.

Beth Potter gave it all she could, but Britain had to settle for bronze.

It’s what we all love to see, athletes giving all they can muster to achieve their dreams.

I would do the same, but the problem is I’m rubbish at the hurdles. I’d still be running right now if I was in that race.

I’d still dive for the line, though. Why not?

Alistair Chalmers, Team GB 400m hurdler, speaking to BBC One:

I was born for moments like this, to be representing the country, it’s an honour. I came down the home straight, I am not going to leave anything out there. Who cares? I don’t care. I’m through to the semi-final and it’s back to the Colosseum on Wednesday.

Now that is a show of determination from Alastair Chalmers.

The Team GB athlete throws himself at the line in the men’s 400m hurdles, and he falls over in doing so.

It may have hurt, but it’s worth it…

Chalmers have qualified for the semi-finals by finishing third in his heat, winning a photo finish because of his dive at the line.

Oh, I love watching the sports climbing, I find it so fascinating.

It’s the men’s boulder and lead semi-finals and Team GB have two men involved in this, Hamish McArthur and Toby Roberts.

They have started the boulder segment already, and McArthur is currently top of the pile.

It’s early days, though. Roberts is still yet to go.

Team GB’s Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix is back in diving action this morning.

After winning bronze in the women’s 10m synchro with Lois Toulson, she is now in action in the individual.

It’s just the qualification, so she needs to make sure she finishes the morning in the top 18 to make the semi-finals.

Let’s see what she has in store for us…

It’s been another morning of medals, as it always is.

China’s Li Yuehong has just reigned supreme in the men’s 25m rapid pistol, upgrading from his bronze at Tokyo.

Cho Yeongjae takes silver for the Republic of Korea, while China also bring home the bronze through Wang Xinjie.

It means China go back to the top of the medal table of the USA.

There is a clear favourite in this event, and that man is Karsten Warholm.

He’s the world record holder, the Olympic record holder, and the current defending Olympic champion in the 400m hurdles.

So, I think that’s why people think he will win, which is fair, right?

He has just won his heat, but I must admit, he did not look comfortable at all.

Rai Benjamin, the US athlete best placed to challenge Warholm, also won his heat too, but he won it in style.

The Stade de France is currently bathed in sunshine.

The athletics are back up and running (pardon the pun) after what was a drama-filled night four.

We start this morning with the men’s 400m hurdle heats, not a bad way to begin another action-packed day.

They don’t look too disappointed, do they?

Alex Yee, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Sam Dickinson, and Beth Potter have all now been on the podium to collect their bronze medals.

All I can see is smiles on faces, which is great to see.

I’m not sure why I’m surprised, in truth, at the end of the day they are Olympic medallists.

Wow, now that is blooming tight.

Mike Cavendish said it’s clear when you zoom in, he must have an incredible computer to zoom in on.

It’s so, so hard to split it. You can’t even really see USA’s Taylor Knibb in the picture, can you?

Elite sport, eh? Spectacular.

Years of training to go down to a hair’s width at the end.

Mike Cavendish, British Triathlon performance director:

When it’s as close as that you always have to go to a photo finish. They might be a little be bit disappointed, but a bronze medal is still a good achievement. It’s a brilliant advert for our sport.

I have seen the photo, when you zoom in it’s relatively clear. We’ve come here for three events and won three medals. This is elite sport, we can’t be disappointed with a bronze medal.

I wonder how Team GB would be feeling.

One minute you think you have won a silver medal after an incredible photo finish, just to then be told ‘Nah, we got it wrong’.

Well, it could be worse, it could have been a downgrade to outside of the medals. Now that would hurt.

The drama just keeps on coming.

So there has been some confusion following the photo finish in the mixed triathlon relay.

It was believed that Team GB had taken silver, but in fact, it has been confirmed that they finished in the bronze medal position.

USA actually take silver.

Phoar, what a start we have had to day 10!

I didn’t even have the chance to bring you yesterday’s headlines before the drama got going.

But now I do, so here they are:

• Noah Lyles nabbed gold in the men’s 100m by just five-thousandths of a second. Simply incredible.
• An emotional Novak Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles to win his first-ever Olympic gold and complete the golden slam.
• Team GB’s Tommy Fleetwood took silver in the men’s golf.
• Amber Rutter of Great Britain earned a silver medal in the women’s skeet just three months after giving birth.
• Team GB’s Harry Hepworth won bronze in men’s vault in gymnastics

Team GB triathlon mixed relay, speaking to BBC One:

Alex Yee: I’m so proud of the team. What an amazing day for our sport, what a day.

Sam Dickinson: Very happy with that. Just a clinical relay performance from start to finish, no mistakes. It’s so important to be at the front in a relay as we saw today. I had full faith handing to Beth, she had the hardest leg and she smashed it.

Georgia Taylor-Brown: It was nice to be at the front, take your own line and commit. We all had our own individual plans and we all executed them pretty well. As a collective, we walk away with a silver and it’s an incredible effort from the team, but pretty stressful watching.

Beth Potter: I found something on the bridge and bridged the gap to the girls. I sat and kicked – I had just enough to get the silver.

Now this is the shock of the race.

France came into the mixed triathlon as clear favourites with women’s individual gold medallist Cassandre Beaugrand anchoring.

But they leave disappointed with a fourth-place finish.

The fact that they even managed to get that in the end was exceptional, though…

Well, Pierre le Corre was involved in a crash on the bike during the first leg, leaving France with a massive deficit to claw back.

They will still be gutted, mind.

Annie Emmerson, Former Team GB triathlete, speaking on BBC:

I really don’t think Beth Potter could have given any more, I just think the fatigue from winning the bronze medal in the individual was too much for her. You could see how fatigued she was when she crossed the line.

Great Britain take the silver!

Beth Potter’s late kick is enough to push USA back down into third, an incredible finish.

It’s not the gold that they won in Tokyo, but it’s a very credible silver medal.

Alex Yee and Beth Potter now have a relay medal to add to their individuals.

Meanwhile, it’s a first Olympic medal for Sam Dickinson and the first this Olympics for Georgia Taylor-Brown.

What a spectacular start to the day!

Laura Lindemann is going for it, she kicks away and my word is she moving.

But wait, Beth Potter is having a second wind and is catching, she’s level with Taylor Knibb.

They are sprinting on the straight, this is incredible stuff.

Germany take the gold but who takes the silver? Both GB and USA finish level, it’s a photo finish.

Beth Potter drops to the floor, she gave everything there. What an incredible finish.

It’s another medal for Britain.

Oh no, Beth Potter has dropped into bronze.

I did say she looked leggy and heading into the final lap she is being dropped by both Taylor Knibb and Laura Lindemann.

Can she reel them in? She’s a fast finisher.

They haven’t dropped her just yet, but she is running out of time.

Wow, what a dramatic few moments in the mixed triathlon.

Beth Potter’s lead was cut down from 12 seconds before she was overtaken by both the USA’s Taylor Knibb and Germany’s Laura Lindemann.

But her transition from the bike to the run was sensational and she has retaken the lead by a slender margin.

She’s a fantastic runner, is Potter. But she does look leggy.

Right, let’s take a look at what is in store this morning. There are some cracking events on.

• Shooting – men’s 25m rapid pistol final
• Climbing – men’s boulder & lead semi-final
• Gymnastics – men’s parallel bars final
• Athletics – women’s 400m round one
• Gymnastics – women’s beam final (Simone Biles in action)

It could be a golden start to the day for Team GB.

Britain are currently leading the mixed triathlon relay with Beth Potter flying on the final leg.

The bronze medallist in the individual has kicked away on the bike, the gap between her and second-placed USA’s Taylor Knibb is massive.

Gold number 11 is looking likely now.

Oh, what a day we have in store for you!

How is everybody feeling? It was one hell of an evening last night.

It’s day 10 of the Paris Olympics and it has a tough act to follow after the drama of day nine. I still can’t get over Noah Lyles’ 100m win.

Well, I will have to quickly as there is action already underway today with the mixed triathlon nearing its conclusion.

So, let’s get this show on the road!
