2024 Paris Olympics LIVE: Team GB take bronze in dramatic finish to triathlon mixed relay, Simone Biles looking to create gymnastics history and Keely Hodgkinson bids for 800m gold

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!
