Disappointing news to start day four in Paris with World Triathlon announcing the postponement of the men’s event due to the water quality of the river Seine. The race has been rescheduled to tomorrow, after the women’s event. That still doesn’t leave much time for the water quality to improve, so further disruption is not out of the question.

Sean Ingle has been covering the story for a number of days and filed this report yesterday after the cancellation of open water practice.

Swimming in the Seine has been banned for over a century. But since 2015, organisers have spent around £1bn to ensure a cleaner river for the Games – and to allow Parisians to swim in it afterwards.
\n
Renovations have included the construction of a giant basin to capture excess rainwater and stop too much sewage from flowing into the river – as well as renovating infrastructure and upgrading wastewater treatment plants. The hope now is that the forecast hot weather will be enough to drop E coli levels low enough to race.

Day three was when Great Britain came to life at these Games with Tom Pidcock and the equestrian team securing gold medals, along with silvers in the diving, canoe slalom, and men’s 200m freestyle, as well as bronze in the individual jumping. There was also more joy for the hosts with France celebrating a clutch of silver medals to go with golds in fencing and canoe slalom.

Swimming: women’s 100m backstroke
Kaylee McKeown, Australia’s backstroke queen, is going for six golds in Paris – twice the number she won in Tokyo – and today could bring her first, with the 100m final in the evening session. McKeown broke her own world record last October and goes in as overwhelming favourite; Thursday, Friday and Saturday’s 200m backstroke and 200m individual medley double will be a much harder test.

Surfing: men’s and women’s gold medal matches
Olympic organisers chose to hold the surfing competition in Teahupo’o – approximate translation “wall of skulls”, though it’s been nicknamed The End of the Road – in Tahiti, with athletes staying in a cruise ship moored offshore after locals objected to plans to build housing for them (they could not stop the construction of a judging tower in the reef). The attraction is what surfer.com described as “without a doubt one of the heaviest, scariest, most dangerous left-hand reef break waves in the entire world”.

Key events
Team USA win women’s gymnastics gold
USA have their gold and star of the sport Simone Biles is among those to have a medal around her neck. The team’s gold was sealed after a superb floor routine by Biles, including a double straight somersault.
Italy have got confirmation they are on the medal podium in the women’s gymnastics, they just don’t know what colour it will be yet. It is history, I believe it is the first time they have been on the team podium in a very long time. They are absolutely ecstatic. That has made it that much harder for GB to medal though.
Team GB’s medal hopes are still alive here in the women’s team gymnastics. Alice Kinsella has just finished on beam and she was very happy with it, she jumped in celebration after his dismount.
The men’s tennis doubles action does not stop yet. We have a British pair in Andy Murray and Dan Evans facing Belgium Joran Vliegen and Sander Gille. This is potentially Murray’s last-ever professional match. All four athletes are now out on court.
In the men’s football France lead New Zealand 1-0 and the USA are beating Guinea 2-0. In the earlier matches, Morocco beat Iraq 3-0 and Argentina beat Ukraine 2-0 to reach the quarters.
The celebrations among the New Zealand players is emotional to watch. They embrace each other, scream and jump around. Portia Woodman-Wickliffe has just capped off a very impressive few years. Two Rugby World Cup wins and two Olympic golds.
New Zealand win women’s sevens gold
A close battle in this final sees the defending champions retain their crown. Canada will be disappointed not to get the gold but it is still their best-ever finish in the competition at the Olympics. Heroic ends to both these teams’ campaigns.
The conversion was missed so the lead is just seven points here. If Canada can score and get the kick they’ll extend this game.
The clock continues to tick down in this gold medal women’s rugby final and New Zealand still have a 14-12 lead. Hang on, Hirini makes a superb break and the team are on the attack. Waaka goes down the right and crashes over. New Zealand have a commanding 19-12 lead with the conversion and just over a minute to go.
Nadal and Alcaraz into quarters
The Spanish pairing in the men’s tennis doubles have progressed into the quarter-finals after a battle with Dutch pair Griekspoor and Woolhof. Nadal and Alcaraz won 6-4, 7-6, 10-2.
Five minutes to go and Canada have an attack. But before it starts Portia Woodman-Wickliffe leaves the pitch as she’s replaced. What a star of the game.
New Zealand start the second half so well with an immediate try through Blyde, the conversion is good and they lead Canada 14-12.
Thank you John, I am back and with my return comes the second half of the women’s rugby sevens final. Can Canada cause a shock here? Let’s find out.
Canada score again! Corrigan speeds away, and almost falls over the line. Brilliant. Another steal. 12-7, as the conversion doesn’t go in. So, that’s half-time, and it’s back to Sarah Rennie.
But Chloe Daniels breaks away with an interception to level the scores, she goes under the posts and that’s converted. Canada are level at 7-7. All to play for in the gold medal game.
Meanwhile in Paris 2024’s Tuesday happy hour, it’s the women’s sevens final and New Zealand are leading Canada 7-0 as the first half ticks down.
After three rotations, it’s the beam to come for Team GB, in bronze, with a gap to Canada in fourth. Georgia Mae-Fenton, Becky Downie and Alice Kinsella are the trio to take it home for Britain. They have done so well to get to this point. China, of all countries, are in fifth, and there are tears in the eyes of their gymnasts. That’s heartbreaking to see.
Alcaraz and Nadal are in a second-set tie-break, and it’s not going well, at 4-1 down, then 4-2, then 6-2, and they lost the set to go to a final set.
Needless to say, Simone Biles just aced the beam after Rebecca Downie of Team GB just pulled off a fine performance in the uneven bars. Behind Team USA, the teams are jockeying for medals. Downie got 14.93 – the highest score – Biles finds herself embarrassed in the British gymnast’s company. She only got 14.366…
USA take the bronze medal in women’s rugby sevens
Hello…..Team USA stage an amazing comeback, a remarkable breakaway try, and it’s converted. Australia are stunned. It was Alex Sedrick who scored and converted.

This is going to the wire, though the Australians are seeing far more territory. Are the US team biding their time? Levi is back on now. Australia bring on Sharni Smale for her last ever appearance. And Teagan Levi storms on, and passes to Maddison who goes over at the corner. The conversion is missed. But that makes it 12-7 with just a minute to play.
With five minutes to play, that bronze medal match remains at 7-7 between Australia and the USA.
James Greatorex gets in touch: “Just a quick clarification on your live blog on the gymnastics: The US fans weren’t cheering for the Chinese gymnast’s fall. There’s four routines going at the same time, they were cheering for Jordan Chile’s stuck landing on her bar routine.”
Unfortunately timed, then.
It’s a rowdy old crowd at Roland-Garros as Nadal and Alcaraz continue to be held in the second set by Griekspoor and Koolhof.
After two gymnastics rotations, Team USA are winning, Team GB are in fourth.
87.432 USA
– 3.102 Italy
– 3.966 China
– 5.501 Great Britain
– 5.834 Romania
– 6.267 Brazil
– 6.666 Canada
– 7.867 Japan
This sevens bronze game is now at 7-7 at half-time. The Australians are down to six players, Levi Teagan having been given a yellow and been sin-binned. But not for much longer.
The gymnastics – could Team GB be in for a medal? The plan is to go for difficulty, and Ruby Evans just pulled off a beauty in the vault, her 13.96 only coming because her landing with only slightly skewiff.
The rugby sevens, and Australia, in the bronze match, where they didn’t expect to be, are 7-0 up on the USA. Alcaraz and Nadal, bythe way, are going with serve in their game with the Dutch pair.
Simone Biles just nailed it on the high bars, and a gold medal looks likely to be heading her way, and that of Team USA. 14.400 for her. The crowd seems slightly underwhelmed by that score.
John Brewin
Good evening. Let’s start with a point of order. Those American fans – and some locals – cheering loudly when a Chinese gymnast slips from the beams were not acting in particularly Olympian spirit. That’s a poor show from them.
I am handing over to John Brewin now for the next hour so I can grab a cuppa, enjoy!
In the women’s rugby sevens, France have finished fifth after beating China 21-7. The bronze medal match coming up shortly between the USA and Australia. The Aussie team will be favourite for the medal.
Alice Kinsella from Team GB is on the floor now in the women’s gymnastics. A lovely tumble into a triple twist to start. She has a step out of a double twist but this is looking like a strong performance from the athlete. A reminder Team GB are not expected to medal in this event. She scored a 13.6.
In the women’s gymnastics the first round of the team event is over and the USA are in the lead with 44.1. China are in second and Italy are third. Team GB are down in seventh.
Some news from earlier in the day:
In the men’s football, Morocco still lead Iraq 3-0. The other match between Argentina and Ukraine see Argentina lead 1-0. If these scorelines stay as they are it will be Morocco and Argentina going through to the quarter-finals.
Oliver Connolly
A slight shock. Team USA dropped their 3×3 women’s basketball opener against Germany, losing 17-13. The US are looking to retain gold after winning the inaugural 3×3 tournament in Tokyo. And they raced out to an early 5-0, thanks largely to the crafty play of Hailey Van Lith. But they struggled with turnovers throughout the game, and saw their lead evaporate as Germany’s trio hit four two-point shots from the outside. Germany entered the tournament as long shots, but picked off the experienced and decorated US side in their opener. Group play resumes tomorrow with the US taking on Azerbaijan and Germany facing Australia.
Joe Pearson has got in touch and said:
I have really been enjoying the Sevens in this Olympics. It’s actually my first exposure to the sport, and I think it’s great! Oh and for snack chat, I have sat down for a nice lunch of a som tum salad from the local Thai place.
You will be very happy to know there’s a lot more sevens action to come tonight, including the medals matches. I also have to admit I’m jealous of the snacks you have, I have some strawberries accompanying me.
In the men’s tennis, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz have taken the first set 6-4 against Tallon Griekspoor and Wesley Koolhof. The second set has just got underway.
Over to the women’s judo now as we have another gold medal confirmed. In the -63kg final Slovenia’s Andreja Leski, who beat the defending champion Clarisse Agbégnénou in the semis, has won gold after beating Mexico’s Prisca Awiti Alcaraz. France’s Agbégnénou won bronze.
Women’s gymnastics: Here is Simone Biles. All eyes will be on her. She opts for her easier vault but it was flawless aside from a step back on her landing. Huge, especially because it was the apparatus she struggled with at the last Games. She records a score of 14.9 – the highest of her team.
Women’s gymnastics: China’s Qiu Qiuyen is on the uneven bars and there is a wobbly start with some gasps from the commentators. She has recovered well with a half turn and the dismount is almost perfect.

Women’s gymnastics: The USA are on the vault now with Jade Carey. That is a clean run there, with a fantastic landing.
