Not even 10 laps in and we've already had two crashes. First, a Japanese rider goes down, before the Swiss duo miss their handsling and both hit the deck.

At the first sprint, GB cross the line first and take the five points. Good start.

There are 12 sprints in this race of never-ending carnage. It is a great start from GB as they take the opening sprint to jump to the top with five points.

The Swiss pair have already crashed. Chaos everywhere you look.

That's a heck of a howler.

Spain keeper Arnau Tenas rubs his nose with his glove. He has no other option but to suck it up.

The French don't care how it went in - as long as it did.

Enzo Millot wheels away to the sound of 48,000 home fans going wild.

That was brilliant [from Jack Carlin] because down the back straight I thought he'd messed it up. He seemed to come in real close and not with that much speed but actually round that final bend he had so much speed.

How did breaking go from the streets of 1970s New York to the highest echelon of sport? And what does it take to be a champion?

The Global Story podcast has spoken to BBC Sport Correspondent Katie Gornall and Zack "Cracker Zacks” Slusser, the vice president of Breaking DanceSport for USA Dance, about breaking’s long journey to the Games.

"Breaking is the epitome of urban youth culture, it’s an artform, it’s a dance," Slusser tells presenter Azadeh Moshiri.

"[Competitors] focus on being able to spontaneously do things that most people would never believe were even possible."

Breaking - b-girls round robin

Sonia Oxley
BBC Sport in Paris

It’s pretty difficult to work out what is a better performance when there are no difficulty values like in some other sports like diving and gymnastics.

But no-one here cares! It’s a bit like watching a show at times - the way the b-girls kind of feed off each other in a battle, point at each other, challenge each other, there’s a sort of dramatic narrative - show me what you’ve got and I will do it better.

The question the sport will be wondering is are they showing enough to get back on another Olympic programme? It’s already not going to be at Los Angeles 2028 but could it be back for Brisbane 2032?

Chaos as the 30 riders make their way on the track for the start of the women's madison.

You can't see them in this photo, but once the racing begins Team GB's Elinor Barker and Neah Evans will be easily identifiable with their bright yellow helmets with an orange line down the middle.

It is organised chaos - that's what it feels like when you're in it.

Next up in the velodrome is the women's madison, with the British pairing of Elinor Barker and Neah Evans looking to win a medal. It is a race over 120 laps, including 12 separate sprint events.

It will be fast, frantic and chaotic.

There are 15 pairings, with Ireland represented by the duo of Lara Gillespie and Alice Sharpe.

France draw first blood at the Parc des Princes through Enzo Millot in the 11th minute. The Stuttgart midfielder tries his luck from the side of the box and the ball heads straight towards Spain goalkeeper Arnau Tenas.

The 23-year-old is actually playing on his home ground as he made six appearances for Paris St-Germain last season, but he gets his feet all wrong at the near post and the ball squirms through his hands and bounces inside the far post.

Millot can't believe his luck, and it's jubilation for the hosts.

Commanding.

USA's women look very likely to be in the gold medal match for the women's basketball after a dominant first half against Australia.

They're 17 points clear at half-time.

Half of this squad is from Paris, so you can just imagine in the French dressing room right now how much this means to them.

It's an amazing occasion for French football, and for this team and Thierry Henry, who he himself is from Paris.

New Zealand's Lydia Ko and Switzerland's Morgane Metraux will head into the final day of the women's golf competition tied at nine under par after an eventful day at Le Golf National.

Overnight leader Metraux carded three birdies and four bogeys before finding an eagle at the 18th to finish one under for her round.

Two-time major champ Ko navigated the course in a four-under 68 to climb two spots on the leaderboard.

America's Rose Zhang is two shots back at seven under par while Britain's Charley Hull shot three under to move back to five over par and Georgia Hall is at three over.

That was really well-ridden.

Jack Carlin was not going to get sucked in there. He wasn't going to get held on the shoulder.

He had the patience to wait and it paid off.

Jack Carlin is halfway to a bronze medal, as he times his sprint perfectly to edge ahead of Jeffrey Hoogland by 0.017 seconds in the first of their best-of-three series.

One more win for Carlin later on will be enough for him to match the bronze medal he won in this event in Tokyo.

He is beatable. Jack Carlin will know that.

Going into it Jack can feel confident.

A Brit is immediately involved in medal contention as Jack Carlin goes up against Jeffrey Hoogland in the opening one of a potential three races in the men's sprint.

US basketball star Jackie Young is accelerating her team's charge towards the women's gold medal match.

She's helped herself to 10 points in the first half, helping America establish a healthy 40-24 lead over Australia as the first half nears its close.

Before every event session at these Olympics, a special guest performs 'les trois coups' - three bangs of a stick to signify the start of the action.

The stick is actually called a 'brigadier' and the act is linked to theatre.

We've seen so many famous faces perform this act over the last couple of weeks, from Tony Hawk, to Carl Lewis, to Billie Jean King.

Tonight, here at the velodrome, the honour falls to Great Britain's very own six-time Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy.

As the fans were coming in tonight, UCI president David Lappartient gave a speech paying tribute to Sir Chris, much to the delight of the many British fans in the stands.
