  1. Triathlon swim training scrapped because of pollutionpublished at 09:08 British Summer Time 28 July

    In case you missed it earlier, pollution in the River Seine has forced the cancellation of Sunday's proposed swimming training for Olympic triathletes in Paris.

    A joint statement from Paris 2024 and World Triathlon said that tests had shown the water quality was below an acceptable standard.

    After tests in July, the River Seine was deemed to be clean enough for swimming but heavy rain in the French capital over the past 48 hours has seen the quality diminish.

    "The priority is the health of the athletes," the statement read.

    "The tests carried out in the Seine [on Saturday] revealed water quality levels that in the view of the international federation, World Triathlon, did not provide sufficient guarantees to allow the event to be held.

    "Given the weather forecast for the next 48 hours, Paris 2024 and World Triathlon are confident that water quality will return to below limits before the start for of the triathlon competitions (on 30 July)."

    Should the water quality not reach the required standard, the triathlon events could be postponed for a few days or moved to Vaires-sur-Marne, on the Marne river east of Paris.

    The swimming leg of the triathlon familiarisation had been due to take place at 07:00 BST. The bike and running training will go ahead as planned.

    Convicted rapist Steven van de Velde will make his Olympic debut very shortly in the beach volleyball.

    The Dutchman was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 after admitting three counts of rape against a 12-year-old British girl.

    His inclusion in the squad has been criticised, with an online petition calling for him to be banned garnering over 90,000 signatures.

    The Dutch Olympic team said Van de Velde had returned to the playing arena "following a specialist treatment programme" and that he "deeply regrets the consequences of his actions for those involved".

    Great Britain's gymnasts looked relaxed at the end of that vault round, chatting and swaying to the music. None of them stuck a perfect landing but they were only minor errors and at this stage it's about doing enough to qualify for finals.

    Team GB's women score 41.966 after their first rotation on the vault. It's a solid start from each gymnast, with Welsh teenager Ruby Evans scoring the highest with 14.200.

    They move to the uneven bars next, where Becky Downie replaces Abi Martin.

    Team GB can 'challenge for the bronze medal'published at 08:46 British Summer Time 28 July

    Medal winning gymnast in three Olympic Games on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think the girls will feel at ease knowing the boys did so well yesterday. USA and Brazil are certainly the strongest teams but the GB girls are certainly strong enough to challenge for the bronze medal.

    Becky's [Downie] had a very turbulent last few years. She suffered the loss of her brother and her sister retired from the sport. She's looked so good and she'll want to do with this potentially being her last Olympic Games.

  9. Gymnastics culturepublished at 08:41 British Summer Time 28 July

    Well, it's all very cultured at this gymnastics venue. Yesterday we opened up with a ballet dancer and a street dancer and today we had mass sing-a-long to Emmenez-Moi.

    They even put the words up on the screens at Bercy Arena so there was no excuse for not joining in.

    Drama for Team GB shooter Seonaid McIntosh, whose rifle malfunctioned during the 10m rifle women’s event warm-up.

    Seonaid’s coach (and dad) Donald set about fixing the gun, armed with a tool box.

    All now seems to be working correctly.

    While the rest of the field has started the competition, Seonaid is currently now going through her practice routine and will rejoin the field shortly.

    This [GB] team is very strong, they won a silver at the European Championships so they are a force to be reckoned with.

    They will be looking for a final.

    Becky Downie has definitely got the potential and the routine to get through. The hardest part is getting through today.

    She has to make a decision which difficulty to go for, she has three routines so I think she will settle for the middle difficulty to get her through to that final.

    They are starting on vault next to a big Union Jack flag so they should be getting lots of support.

  15. USA impress on opening day of surfingpublished at 08:27 British Summer Time 28 July

    There are plenty of picturesque venues at these Olympics, but the event with arguably the most spectacular backdrop has to be the surfing.

    The competition is taking place almost 10,000 miles from Paris in Tahiti, French Polynesia, where surfing originated almost 1,000 years ago.

    The opening heats took place overnight, with Team USA's Caroline Marks and John John Florence earning the top score in the women's and men's competition respectively.

    The winner of each of the eight three-person heats advanced to round three, with those finishing second and third progressing to round two.

    'Super proud to come away with the silver medal'published at 08:15 British Summer Time 28 July

    More from women's time trial silver medallist Anna Henderson on BBC Breakfast: "It feels really surreal to be honest. I'm still trying to let it sink in. There is a lot of media today but I am trying to enjoy this moment, soak it all in. There's not a lot of people who can be there and have a moment like that so I am really grateful."

    On missing the World podiums by seconds and the motivation that provided: "It crossed my mind at least 10 times during the race yesterday. I knew I wasn't going to miss being on the right side of the second this time and I kept pushing all the way to the end. It was super, super close and I'm super proud to come away with the silver medal."

    On being a former skier and taking that into cycling: "I switched sports 10 years ago so I sometimes forget that. I thought I took the corners slowly but a lot of people told me that I didn't. It has taken me a lot of hard work and effort to become the cyclist I am today and I've said proud a thousand times but that is probably the word of the day."

    On her first experience of the Olympics in Paris: "It's super special and such an iconic city as well. Yesterday was a rubbish day for the weather and now I have today I have a really beautiful day in Paris and I can soak that moment in. I didn't want to waste the opportunity in my first Games. I wanted to enjoy it, execute the plan and it really, really paid off. My coach did really well in the car to keep me calm and give all the correct information to me. We really wanted this one and so pleased that it could happen."

    Team GB's Olympic silver medallist Anna Henderson speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I had about two hours sleep. I'm super happy and super proud. I'm trying to enjoy the moment and take in everything that's going on in Paris.

    "It was super slippy and I'm sure everyone has seen the clip of me swearing on national TV so I'm sorry for that! It was super slippy and on city streets, it's like glass. The weather was bringing its worst yesterday. I didn't know that so many girls had crashes and I was so pleased to get to the finish without a crash.

    On broken collarbone suffered: "It was a big hit in February and then April. The second crash mentally hurt a lot but I had my family and boyfriend around me to keep me going.

    "I can't believe I'm here today. From Leogang to Paris. It's been an amazing journey. It's really special.

    "I'm going to be soaking in Paris and the moment. I've still got the roadrace coming up with my team-mates so I'll be back focused for Sunday."
