Oh yes, the crowd are well up for this!

Opposite the BBC commentary seats we have fans dancing to the music, the French flags are waving - along with British, German, Slovakian and Canadian support in my immediate eyeline.

It’s time to get going. A rhythmic clap begins to signal the final countdown to the start of the semi-finals. What a great atmosphere!

Word is that West End musical legend and BBC Radio 2 presenter Michael Ball could be on his way to Paris to watch the sevens.

Apparently, he is the step-grandfather of Great Britain's Grace Compton and has been bigging up the team's chances on his morning show.

After a lengthy stoppage Dan Evans is up on his feet and ready to continue his match against Tunisia's Moez Echargui.

Evans took a tumble chasing down a ball, grazing his knee, before holding his wrist. He was then down on his front for several minutes and looked to be getting treatment on his back.

Evans, of course, is playing with Andy Murray in what will be the final event of the former world number one’s career later today.

Tony Estanguet is drawing the crowds here. The three-time Olympic canoeing champion and head of the Paris 2024 organising committee was only too happy to pose for selfies.

With him was David Lappartient, the president of the UCI, cycling's world governing body (here in the white t-shirt).

What a showcase this is for mountain biking.

This place is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

I've visited quite a few of the venues at this Olympics and I have to this place is just absolutely incredible.

You can just tell it's going to be the party capital of the Olympics with music blaring through speakers dotted around the place, DJ's performing as people are walking around and the voice of the MC - someone who essentially hypes up the crowd and tells them what tricks are being performed - travelling across Place de la Concorde along with the cheers and woops of the crowd.

And then you get inside the stands. Three insane venues have been erected to host the skateboarding, BMX freestyle, breaking and 3x3 basketball.

Yes, you might frazzle in the sun while soaking up the action, but wow is the setting impressive.

Ah. It’s just like being in Blackpool when I was a kid. Apart from it’s very, very hot. And I’ve not seen the Pepsi Max coaster yet.

The little stand in front, incidentally, takes an interactive video of you in front of the Eiffel Tower. It’s been super busy since I got here.

We know Team GB are still in gold medal position. We thought Britain had smashed it and had about eight fences in hand. Now, with the French coming into second place, the cushion is 4.8. We believe Canter jumped outside of a white flag. You have got to have the horse bang inside it.

I spoke to Rishi Persad and he said when Canter came through, she didn't know so behind the scenes, this is going to come as a shock for her. Team GB have asked for a review and that is now pending. Canter as an individual went from sixth to 24th.

This track is really affecting the way the race is playing out. We've seen two flat tyres now at the front of the race and we've seen a big crash from Loana [Lecomte].

People are saying it's easy but when you're racing as hard as you can, nothing is easy. Anything can still happen.

Team GB's Ros Canter has been given 15 jumping penalties in the Cross Country.

Olympic silver medallist Nicola Wilson speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "She has now dropped down the individual order to 21 and the lead over Japan is now down to 11.3.

"When she finished, it came up as the scores being clear inside the time. Retrospectively, the grand jury will review the video and see whether the horse goes over the fence. If part of the horse goes around the fence then they will be deducted 15 points.

"They will appeal and an absolute massive case will be put forward to try and get that removed. That is not what we wanted at all."

Oh dear.

Dan Evans has hurt himself chasing down a ball.

His knee is bleeding but more concerning it looks like he’s done something to his wrist.

The trainer is called but Evans is signalling he can’t use it to play.

Worrying for him - and Andy Murray.

Evans, of course, is playing with Murray in what will be the final event of the former world number one’s career.

Loana Lecomte was just caught in the middle position. She was probably not feeling great physically and as soon as you lose your concentration for one second on a technical feature, the outcome can be pretty bad.

Another heavy fall, this time by France's Loana Lecomte, who tumbled over her handlebars on a rocky descent before her front wheel hit the back of her helmet as she was lying on the ground.

Stewards were nearby and immediately ran to her aid.

The atmosphere is building nicely at the Stade de France for the opening day of the women's sevens tournament.

Saturday was all about Antoine Dupont working his magic, today we have Ellie Kildunne, the Women's Six Nations player of the tournament, ready to get the fans off their seats in the first match as Great Britain take on Ireland at 14:30 BST.

Great Britain women have lost their opening pool match 2-1 to Spain at Yves-du-Manoir stadium.

All three goals came in the opening nine minutes with Laura Barrios and Lola Riera scoring for Spain, either side of Giselle Ansley's equaliser for Team GB.

The Britons pushed hard for an equaliser but struggled to create chances outside of penalty corners but Ansley's goal was the only one of 13 set pieces they were able to convert.

With four of the six teams in the pool progressing to the next round, Great Britain still have plenty of time to recover from this loss and face Australia tomorrow in their next match.

This sport is unbelievably fun to watch in the flesh. I’ve never known excitement in a crowd like it - it’s infectious!

The fans are constantly on the move, sprinting up and down hill from one spot to the next. Some impressive fitness on show, to be fair.

LOUD roars follow French leader Pauline Ferrand Prevot around the course - you know she’s coming long before you see her.

She’s opened up a sizeable gap. Can she hold on and win that elusive Olympic gold medal?

Well, this should be a lot of fun!

The canoe slalom venue looks fantastic under deep blue skies, about an hour east of Paris.

It's worth the journey, that's for sure. The competitors in today's kayak single (K1) semi-finals and final will start their run to the right of the main stand, before flying past towards the finish line.

It's only when you're up close that you can truly appreciate just how fast-flowing the water really is. It takes unbelievable strength to keep control of the boat and navigate the gates at such speed.

It's going to be fast and furious, and the spectators are in for a treat.

The semi-finals get under way at 14:30 BST, with GB's Kimberley Woods the 11th of 22 to go after she qualified in 12th yesterday.

It's so interesting for Pauline Ferrand-Prevot how bad her track record is at the Olympics compared to the rest of her cycling achievements. She has been so dominant and had so many world titles.

The more often that you feel like you have failed at something, the harder it becomes to succeed and I think that makes this all the more impressive.

She has been very public about reaching this goal [Olympic gold] for the last three years and at the moment she is pulling it off which is very impressive.

These little shelters are almost as popular as the actual sport today with the sun absolutely beaming down in the French capital.

They're designed to offer spectators a bit of respite from the hot, hot conditions. Hats, sunscreen and water are the essentials today.

I just came across Evie Richards’ older sister, Molly, and her partner Jack.

They’re so excited and happy to be here, with a nervous Molly telling me the Olympics means so much to the Richards family.

Richards - who told her sister excitedly yesterday it was a “really fun course” - has five family members here at Elancourt Hill, with a further 10 watching at a nearby fan park!

Jack Draper became Britain’s men’s number one for the first time a couple of months ago and is competing at the Olympics in another first.

So far the 22-year-old is having a ball.

Draper needs just 25 minutes to win 6-1 in the first set against Japan’s Kei Nishikori, who is playing only his fifth match of the year because of ongoing fitness issues.

Dan Evans, meanwhile, has been scrapping for his life in the second set against Tunisia’s Moez Echargui.

Evans, who is playing his first Games at the age of 34, saved six break points before nabbing his opponent’s serve to lead 3-2.
