    Just Spain hitting the bar to spark jubilant and relieved celebrations among the French.

    And Michael Olise dancing down the right before drawing another fine save.

    France almost won it!

    Everyone takes a collective deep breath as we use the brief break to allow heart rates to drop.

    Another half an hour of this frenzied, fabulous feast to enjoy.

    The 23-year-old qualified in second place behind Poland's Natalia Kaczmarek with a personal-best time of 49.47 seconds - only just missing out on the British record held by Christine Ohuruogo for the past 11 years.

    Anning has the motivation of adding to her Paris medal collection tonight, after claiming silver with Great Britain in the women's 4x400m relay a few days ago.

    We are just about to get under way in the final hockey match of Paris 2024.

    The Netherlands, who are in their sixth consecutive Olympic final, take on China in the gold medal match at 19:00 BST.

    The number one ranked Dutch as the reigning Olympic and World champions are very much heavy favourites for this gold medal.

    Led by former Dutch head coach Alyson Annan, however, China are not to be underestimated having risen from 14 to eighth in the world since the Australian took charge.

    It will be a tough ask with the Netherlands looking to make history by becoming the first nation to win both the men's and women's hockey gold in one games after the men's team beat Germany in the final on Thursday.

    We're now into the sixth minute of added time. Spain are attacking the France box, the ball breaks for Benat Turrientes and the Spain substitute pokes it goalwards.

    And the crowd in the Parc des Princes holds its breath as it beats Guillaume Restes only to hit the top of the crossbar and go over.

    Wow... that would have won gold!!
