Olympics 2024 LIVE: Latest updates as Team GB win THIRD gold medal, Andy Murray in doubles action, Simone Biles features

Hales beams with gold medal

Nathan Hales has a grin from ear to ear as he shows off his gold medal from the men's trap shooting.

Added to that, in his first Olympic games, he set a new world record to boot.

His whole family were cheering him on from the stands, spurring him to put in some performance.

Spain stunned by Egyptians

Egypt have defeated Spain 2-1 in the Group C final fixture.

It means that the Egyptians will top the ground with the Spanish finishing in second place.

A loose pass from the Spanish defence allowed Egypt to take the lead, which they were then to double.

Spain clawed a goal back deep into added time but they could not find that all-important equaliser.

Storms affect day four of surfing

Australia's Jack Robinson had to be resuced by the safety jetski today.

Storms caused day four of the event to be cancelled.

With the surfing taking place some 10,000 miles away from Paris, it is not weather fans will need to be wary of France.

Britain’s Lucy Renshall came from behind to get through to the second round of the 63kg judo competition.

Renshall, from St Helens, lost her opening bout in Tokyo and looked to be going the same way when she was caught on the counter-attack by Australia’s Katharina Haecker.

But the Brit, 28, levelled to take it to a golden score extra period, where her aggression paid off.

While Renshall was one penalty away from being eliminated, she was on the front foot throughout, with Haecker seeking every opportunity to break up the contest.

That found the ire of the judge, with the Aussie receiving three passivity penalties in the space of 99 seconds, allowing Renshall to progress to the last 16.

Reilly qualifies for final

Team GB's Kieran Reilly has qualified for the men's BMX freestyle final.

The 23-year-old topped his heat with a huge average score of 91.21.

He will now go for gold in the final tomorrow.

Three hours outside of Paris, on the shooting range of Chateauroux, it’s looking good for British shooter Nathan Hales.

The 28-year-old from Chatham is the world record holder in the men’s trap and is already guaranteed a medal with half of the six-man elimination field already out.

It’s a shoot-out between Hales, Qi Ying of China and Argentina’s Jean Pierre Brol Cardenas of Argentina.

But the Brit is currently two shots clear.

Lyles opens up on Olympic village experience

American sprint sensation Noah Lyles has his sights set on a first taste of Olympic glory in Paris - but finds himself changing his daily routine to dodge the limelight.

The reigning 100m and 200m world champion, who also helped the USA win the 4x100m world title last August, is a top contender to win gold in the Olympic marquee event.

Lyles' triple medal triumph in Budapest was documented in Netflix's 'SPRINT' series - though his new found fame has made his living arrangements at Paris more complicated.

And now Lyles has admitted that this may be his final stay in the Olympic Village before the Men's 100m heats kick off on August 3.

He told USA Today: "Unfortunately, that has come with its own set of challenges, being able to find my own space within the village whether that's eating or training in the gym.

"Some athletes like to leave the village and find their own hotels, but I like to enjoy the whole Olympic event being with other athletes.

"But it has come with its own challenges of finding my own safe place. It's hard for me to find that space within the village and I don't want to leave.

"But it's definitely something I feel like after this Olympics I'm gonna have to have conversations higher up. Whoever that's in charge of that and making that more available and more aware.

"I'm not even the most popular person in the village so I know I'm not the only one who's had to deal with situations like this.

"Even though we might be superstars in your eyes, we still are human beings and we do want to be able to have our space and our time."

Uh oh! Huge news from here in Paris.

Defending BMX freestyle Charlotte Worthington was one of the favourites for gold again after her Tokyo glory.

But the Manchester star has crashed out in qualifying, failing to make it through to tomorrow's final.

 She finishes 11th out of 12 and her Olympics defence is over already. 

'Pretty poor'

Jack Draper blasted Olympic chiefs for making tennis players drink hot water as the sweat-drenched Brit melted in the intense heat of Roland Garros.

The 22-year-old said: "I told the referee it’s pretty poor that the players have to drink hot water when we are playing in those conditions.

"We did have ice towels but it’s important we have good fridges to keep our water cool. It’s so tough to recover when you are not replenishing properly.

"There was no escape from the heat even at the change of ends. I haven’t played in much hotter conditions than that. Your body starts to really fight against you, I definitely feel he (Fritz) dealt with it better than me. 

"You can refill your bottles but at the change of ends but after playing tough points and running around, I ended up not sitting down because I was refilling my drink. 

"At all other tournaments you have fridges and coolers with ice. It’s not good enough."

Coco Gauff in shock women's singles exit

Coco Gauff fell to a shock defeat in the women's singles at the Olympics.

The American flag bearer was knocked out of the tournament by Croatia's Donna Vekic.

Gauff lost the third round match 7-6, 6-4 in a big shock on Court Philippe Chatrier.

Draper OUT of men's singles

Team GB tennis star Jack Draper has been knocked out of the men's singles following a 6-7, 6-3, 6-2 defeat to Taylor Fritz.

Great Britain now have no players left in the singles at Paris 2024.

A brilliant late double from Lee Morton earned GB men a deserved 2-2 draw against Holland - and showed they are genuine medal contenders.

Paul Revington’s men looked to be slipping to a defeat that was entirely against the run of play after dominating the second half.

But they were hit by two sucker-punches either side of the three-quarter break.

A brilliant reverse stick strike by  Floris Wortelboer put the Dutch ahead before Thijs van Dam deflected Tjep Hoedemakers’ strike past Ollie Payne after it had eluded Liam Sanford.

Enter Morton, who came in off the goalline to crack in at the near post with five minutes left.

And with two minutes left, Morton was in the right spot to smash in a half volley from 12 yards out after a short corner routine and launch wild and justified celebrations.

GB have not won a men’s hockey medal since Sean Kerly and Co took gold in 1988.

But having been the better side against the world number two side, the belief in the GB camp that this is the chance to change that story will only grow stronger.

View from Paris

GB a goal down with 15 minutes to go - and they will feel aggrieved after dominating the third quarter only to be hit by a sucker punch from Floris Wortelboer.

Having been on the back foot for most of that opening half hour, it was a complete sea-change after the resumption.

They were left angry and frustrated as what should have been a penalty corner for feet in the Dutch D did not materialise with Argentine  umpire Gabriel Labate determining he had played an advantage.

Insult was added to injury when GB’s referral appeal was rejected, meaning they had lost their right to contest any further calls.

But there was a real intensity about their attacks, with Blaak called into action to deny Sam Ward twice and then Rupert Shipperley, all from close range.

Yet out of nowhere, the Dutch went ahead with 75 seconds left in the period.

Payne appeared to have snuffed out the danger with a save from Thijs van Dam.

But the rebound fell to Wortelboer, who turned away from Jack Waller onto the back-stick side and thundered the ball between Payne’s pads and the near post.

GB qualify for final

Team GB have qualified for the men's 4x200m freestyle relay final in swimming.

They finished first in their heat with a time of 7:05:11 ahead of the USA, France and Australia to name a few.

James Guy, Jack McMillan, Kieran Bird and Tom Dean made up the team.

They will now compete in the final which is scheduled for 9:15pm BST tonight.

Still goalless at half-time. And, in truth, it’s hardly been a thriller.

Payne did make a penalty corner save from Jip Janssen at the start of the period before Sanford, with a white headband to cover his wound, returned.

And when skipper David Ames won GB’s first penalty corner, his excellent strike for goal was foiled by a top quality stick save by Dutch keeper Pirmin Blaak.

The stats tell a story. The Dutch have had 68 per cent of the ball and six shots, GB just that lone effort on goal. But it’s just one save by each keeper so far.

A perfect morning for Nathan Hales as he scored 50 out of 50 - for a final total of 123 - to qualify joint first (with four others) for the 10-man trap final this afternoon.

No such luck for Tokyo bronze medallist Matthew Coward-Holley, who hit 47 out of 50 this morning for a total of 117.

And while Lucy Hall opened with a maximum 25 she missed four shots in her second round to slip down the field, with 75 more shots to go over today and tomorrow.

View from Paris

Quite a tame first quarter here at Stade Yves-du-Manoir, with both sides seeking to conserve energy in the sweltering conditions.

GB have not managed a shot on goal but were only actually under pressure in the final 40 seconds, after Liam Sanford was forced off the field with an accidental head cut.

That saw two penalty corners for the Dutch in quick succession but neither attempts got through to keeper Ollie Payne.

Harper returns to London

Team GB bronze medallist Yasmin Harper has returned to the UK to train ahead of her next Olympic event on August 7.

The diver, who celebrated her 24th Birthday on Sunday, travelled back to London the day after coming third in the women's synchronised 3m springboard event.

She told The Athletic: "I did not get a birthday lie-in. I was up at 6am, and was straight back to the Team GB house to do more interviews. It’s all a privilege, but it is hard work.

"But after that, I did get to see my family. I saw some of my friends and then I caught the Eurostar back to London. I’m competing in the individual 3m springboard on August 7, next Wednesday. I train in Sheffield, but came back to London to rest and recover, and get a little more training in before it’s time to go again.

"It’s been lovely today and yesterday afternoon to take a breath. I had a birthday meal at Flour & Grape in Bermondsey and just enjoyed the moment a little more quietly."

Absolutely roasting here at the Stade Colombes - or Stade Yves-du-Manoir as it is now known - for GB men’s crunch hockey pool tie with Holland.

Paul Revington’s men are unbeaten after following up their opening win over Spain with a slightly disappointing draw with South Africa.

But this is a real test of GB’s genuine medal chances against the team that stands one place above them - with the Dutch second - in the current Pro League world standings.

This was the home stadium for the “Chariots of Fire” Olympics of 1924, when Harold Abraham and Eric Liddell ran into immortality.

It was also suggested to be the ground in which the climax of “Escape to Victory” was filmed - although that was actually in Budapest.

But it’s definitely got the feel of an away game with a sea of orange in the stands - although the Dutch are playing in their change strip of white shirts and sky blue shorts.

Renshall OUT of women's 63kg judo

Lucy Renshall has been eliminated from the women's judo 63kg event in the second round.

She suffered a 1-0 defeat in golden score to Lubjana Piovesana of Austria, who represented GB until 2021.

Richards reacts to semi-final spot

Swimmer Matthew Richards booked a spot in the men's 100m freestyle semi-finals this morning.

Speaking after his heat, he said: "When I saw the tied time I thought ‘this could be interesting’.

"Look we’re through and that’s all that matters. Last year at [the World Championships] I went fastest in the heats and fastest in the semis of the 100m free and missed out in the final by a couple of hundredths on the podium.

"I wanted to do something different this year, try to ease through the rounds a little bit more. The swim felt great, really smooth, a bit close for comfort again but we’re through and that’s all that matters."

Great lengths

Paris La Defense Arena was transformed from a rugby stadium into a state-of-the-art swimming venue in just 36 days.

The modern 30,680-seat stadium has been hosting Adam Peaty and Co in the Paris 2024 Olympics' swimming events.

Ahead of this summer's Games, the venue underwent a drastic change.

Richards qualifies

Matthew Richards has qualified for the men's 100m freestyle semi-finals in swimming with a time of 48.40 in the heats.

However, fellow Brit Jacob Whittle narrowly missed out with a time of 48.47.
