Women's Qualifying

Yes, it's nearly time for one of the the global stars of the Games - American gymnast Simone Biles.

The 24-year-old superstar won four golds and a bronze in Rio and is the most decorated US gymnast ever and arguably also the greatest of all time.

We'll see her in qualifying on the floor first before the vault, bars and beam (in that order) as she bids to lead the US to the team final and also reach the individual finals once again

Now if that doesn't make you want to kickflip your way down the local high street for your Sunday morning coffee, how about warming up for breakfast with the world's greatest gymnast?

Japan has a new Olympic hero in the shape of 22-year-old skateboarder Yuto Horigome, who won the first ever gold in the men's street competition in Tokyo earlier.

Britain's Kimberley Woods has just completed her first heat for a place in the Canoe Slalom semi-finals. The top 24 progress and Woods' time of 107.63 has her ranked eighth with one more heat to go.

Hold that thought, James...

A composed performance from Great Britain's Ben Whittaker has just seen the 24-year-old take a split decision victory over Colombia's Jorge Luis Vivas to reach the last 16 in the men's light heavyweight competition.

Egypt's Abdelrahman Oraby awaits the British prospect.

James Crichton: Wakes up, checks the Olympic updates for Team GB. Not going great at the moment.

Great Britain's Bradly Sinden is gearing up for his taekwondo quarter-final in around half an hour's time. He faces Turkey's Hakan Recber after seeing off New Zealand's Tom Burns in the last 16.

Four riders still hold a lead in the women's road race, which has just passed the first seriously testing climb up the Doshi Road - Israel, South Africa, Austria and Poland are represented in that breakaway, having opened up a seven-minute gap from a chasing pack of two with just under 90km to go.

Team GB's Lizzie Deignan is back in the peloton, 10 minutes off the lead. Still plenty of drama left in this race.

And in the men's draw, Great Britain's Liam Broady has advanced to the second round!

Broady, the last Brit standing in the singles after Andy Murray's withdrawal and Heather Watson's first-round loss, battled for three hours to get past Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo.

So Naomi Osaka is safely through, but what do you know about the young tennis star?

Osaka, the US-raised daughter of a Japanese mother and a Haitian father, is the face of Tokyo 2020.

At every bus stop in Tokyo, the 23-year-old stares down from an advert, greeting passengers local and international. She is decked out in a neon pink jacket over black activewear.

The slogan is written half in English, half in Japanese. It is the word 'new', followed by a symbol that can be translated either as 'world' or 'generation'.

It works. Because Osaka, who renounced her US citizenship in 2019 in favour of her Japanese heritage, is bringing more than titles back to her homeland. She's bringing change.

How quiet rebel Naomi Osaka is changing Japan.

Naomi Osaka stops the run of tennis exits with a straightforward win over Saisai Zheng of China.

After world number one Ash Barty went out earlier, Japan's Osaka is now the top-ranked player left in the draw.

The adverse weather conditions expected over the next couple of days continue to have an impact on the Olympic rowing events, some of which had already been pushed back to Monday but now won't take place until Wednesday or Thursday.

High winds and strong gusts could bring "potentially unrowable racing conditions".

Some reaction from Team GB now after they were beaten by Germany in the women's hockey.

Captain Hollie Pearne-Webb said they need take a positive performance into tomorrow's game against South Africa:

"We'll go back, look at the stats and see that was a really dominant performance. In one way it's really disappointing because on balance of play, the points should have been ours.

“Overall, it was really positive.

“Now we're into the tournament, game one's out of the way. We've got South Africa tomorrow and we need to take the confidence from the dominance we showed today and take that into tomorrow's game.

"There's a long way to go. After that, we can take a lot of confidence into every one of those games. We've had a bit of a comedown today already. We know we're still in this. It's a marathon not a sprint, so we're looking forward to tomorrow."

Great Britain's women were in action earlier, but began their Olympic hockey title defence in disappointing fashion with a 2-1 defeat by Germany in Pool A in Tokyo. You can watch highlights of that one below.

They return on Monday to face South Africa.

Carla Suarez Navarro's amazing journey continues.

The Spaniard, who returned to the tour after recovering from cancer, has beaten Wimbledon quarter-finalist Ons Jabeur in her Olympics opener.

It is her first victory in singles since she returned to the tour, and it took just 62 minutes.

• Two-time defending champion Andy Murray has withdrawn from the men's singles with a minor thigh strain.
• Also in the tennis, Australia's world number one and recent Wimbledon champion Ashleigh Barty is out in the first round of the women's singles.
• World record holder and Olympic champion Adam Peaty breezed into the 100m breaststroke final in a time of 57.63.
• US golfer Bryson DeChambeau is out of the Olympics after testing positive for Covid-19.

Right. My stint on this live is done. I'm handing you over to my colleague Alex Bysouth who is going to guide you through the rest of the day at the Olympics. Take it away Alex!

A group of five riders have made a break for it and have opened an almost six-minute gap on the field, with a chasing pack of two trying to claw them back.

Great Britain's Lizzie Deignan sits safely in the peloton at the moment with the first climb approaching.
