    Women's Football final underway

    The action has just got started at the Parc des Princes when the United States are chasing a fifth gold medal in this event.

    English coach Emma Hayes is the one hoping to mastermind another American success against Brazil, who the USA beat in the final in both 2004 and 2008.

    Quarter of an hour into the final, and the game remains goalless.

    Men’s heavyweight Taekwondo

    HE'S DONE IT!

    Caden Cunningham wins the deciding round via most landed hits and is through to the gold medal match!

    He's a 2-1 winner and showed unbelievable resolve and mentality to see that out.

    Cheick Sallah Cisse is absolutely fuming to have gone out.

    But Cunningham is just the third ever British man to reach a Taekwondo final - that's a guaranteed silver!

    Men's madison

    Little update from the men's madison as Team GB have been forced into a change.

    Ethan Hayter has pulled out because of a groin strain and reserve Mark Stewart gets the call-up for the race at 5pm.

    He'll partner Ollie Wood.

    He just has the edge with having landed the most hits.

    What a tense semi final!

    Caden Cunningham heads back to his team with an 11-6 win in the opening round.

    The 21-year-old Brit looking ultra-composed and in control, well beyond his youth.

    One more round victory and he's got himself an Olympic medal.

    And Caden Cunningham is on his way out for his semi final bout.

    Win this and he's guaranteed a medal.

    Cheick Sallah Cisse of Ivory Coast is the man that stands in his way.

    High drama

    Olympic high jump champion Gianmarco Tamberihas been rushed to hospital hours before he bids to defend his title this evening.

    It's the second time the Italian, 32, has beentaken to the emergency room in Parisafter coughing up blood with a kidney problem.

    His preparations for the 2024Olympicswere thrown into chaos as a pain in his side saw him rushed to hospital last Sunday.

    And now Tamberi has been evaluated by paramedics again after suffering with acute renal colic.

    This means he has all-but ruled out any further participation in his bid to defend his joint-Olympic title - and he's taken to Instagram.

    At the other end of the results, Kothari finishes 11th and China's Wang is 12th.

    A Chinese journalist next to me is not best pleased with Yang and says he "will be asking questions" because he is pretty disappointed.

    He informs me a medal for Yang was a possibility- not a certainty - but to finish bottom is a real shock.

    Clean sweep

    Sensational stuff from China in the diving, it really is.

    They're obviously the dominant force but to win EVERY medal diving has to offer across these Games is outrageous.

    Eight from eight, you just have to hold your hands up.

    Next time!

    Cao to wrap up his gold and the clean sweep for China in the Paris 2024 diving.

    Never in doubt.

    Eight golds out of eight diving competitions for China.

    But for Noah Williams it is bronze to back up his silver in the 10m synchro with Tom Daley.

    So, here comes Tamai.

    Anything less than superb and Williams will have silver.

    Oh my word.

    That is outrageouslygood. Barely a splash as he plunges into the pool.

    That will surely overtake Williams...

    It does.

    99.00. I am stunned.

    It will be a bronze medal for the Brit (unless Cao blunders - but that won't happen let's be honest).

    Men’s 10m platform final

    17-year-old Rikuto Tamai of Japan needs 88.7 to leapfrog Noah Williams.

    That would means Williams getting bronze instead of silver.

    And he does! A score of 99.0 guarantees a silver medal for Japan and we'll be hearing a lot more of this kid moving forward.

    Time for Willars...

    There's a bit of a splash there and I'm no diving expert but we all know that's not good news.

    I think Williams has got a medal here...

    The Mexican isn't very happy as he gets out of the pool - and that's because he is BELOW Williams.

    Team GB will have another medal! But what colour will it be?

    Women’s heavyweight Taekwondo

    Rebecca McGowan's gold medal hopes are OVER.

    She has been beaten rather comfortably by Svetlana Osipova of Uzbekistan 14-6, 14-2.

    She'll be hoping her victor does her a favour in order to come back for bronze.

    Williams first up in the sixth and final round - can he snatch a medal...?

    He needs to deliver a super dive and hope those above him falter.

    He does his bit!!

    Great effort from the Londoner.

    8.5s and 9.0s all round and he scores a monumental 94.35 from his forward four-and-a-half somersaults tuck.

    Stunning effort.

    Can Tamai and Willars both respond? If one of them fails, Williams will be a two-time Olympic medalist.

    Women’s heavyweight Taekwondo

    Osipova takes the opening round against Rebecca McGowan by a 14-6 score line.

    The Brit needs to win this round to take us into a decider now.

    Plenty endeavour in that opening exchange.

    That's more like it from Williams.

    A wonderful 93.60 points for his back two-and-a-half somersaults two-and-a-halftwists pike dive.

    That sees him cross the 400-point mark with one dive left and could haul him back into medal contention.

    A shocker from Wiens helps, too.

    As does a nightmare from Tamai.

    Williams is fourth going into the final round - 14 points behind Randal Willars of Mexico who holds provisional silver and 5.65 behind Tamai in bronze.

    Can the Brit do it?!

    Women’s heavyweight Taekwondo

    Svetlana Osipova is the first of these competitors out, with Rebecca McGowan given a huge cheer as she comes out second.

    She's in red for this one, with a spot in the Olympics semi final at stake.

    13-0, 13-0 the Scot won in the first match.

    Hmmm.

    Not a great round from the Brits.

    Williams kicks it off with a disappointing63.00 - his first poor dive of the final - to slip to fifth.

    Kothari, meanwhile, is now 11th out of 12th, ironicallyonly ahead of China's Yang who is having a bit of a shocker.

    Men’s diving – 10m platform

    After dive four, Noah Williams is on 309.40 and into fifth place.

    With Mexico's Randal Willars on 330.50, a medal looks to be too far away now.

    Kyle Kothari on 268.55 is 11th of the 12.

    We've reached the midway point of the diving final.

    Cao looks utterly unstoppable, here.

    He is out in front with Rikuto Tamai of Japan second.

    Canada's Rylan Wiens is third with Williams leading a three-way battle for fourth as things stand.

    Kothari in seventh.

    The Chinese are in a spot of trouble here.

    Yang Hao makes another costly error and that'll put him out the medals.

    Japan's Rikuto Tamai with another stunning dive in his third, taking his total score to 277.75

    Chinese star Cao Yuan is just ahead of 280.50. Tight.
