Team GB have their noses in front with 500m left!

Can they cling on? The Dutch are still in it...

The Dutch have gone out really hard. GB are looking strong in the middle. This is the fastest event of the week.

I think the Dutch have gone out way too hard, but they have been strong this week.

We're in for a close one!

It's neck and neck between Team GB and the Netherlands at the halfway mark!

Could former England footballer Jill Scott make it as an Olympic rower? She spent a day training with the British men's eight crew, before joining them on the water for the ultimate final test.

"One engine, one machine" has been the philosophy behind the British men's eights domination of the event in recent years.

One last push to add the Olympic title to the world and European titles they hold.

One last big effort to win Britain's third gold of the rowing competition.

No time to waste!

Attention quickly turns to the men's eight final, where Team GB are hopeful of another medal.

Every single crew on that podium should be thrilled!

Every single woman on the Romanian team has already raced this week, so they came here as one of the only crews that has raced every single day. To dominate an eights race by a full chunk of water, full respect to them.

Romania love to lead out from the front. They love a fast-paced start and Canada went with them and you can almost hide alongside the lead boat away from the rest of the field.

We thought Britain were getting into competition with the Americans but they finished off the USA relatively quickly in that run - so it was a dramatic race!

The Romanians today, you have got to hand it to them as they went out fast. They have been doubling up all week and now they have won the biggest of all events.

It is a huge result for GB. In terms of the form book you would say GB would come second or third.

This is only the second medal ever in this event. They have put GB back on the map in these big boats.

A yellow card meant Great Britain lost Tess Howard for five minutes at the start of the third quarter in the women's hockey and Argentina have taken full advantage.

Valentina Raposo broke the deadlock a minute later and Agustina Albertario swiftly doubled Argentina's lead.

I’ve just left the archery and stumbled across this, something going on here?

Expectant fans are starting to line the roads as they prepare to wave off the peloton for the men’s road race, who begin their 273km journey further down the Seine at Trocadero before heading off into the French countryside.

Just here by Les Invalides and the Pont Alexandre III there are all sorts of flags waving - Italy, Germany and Great Britain - as fans hope to glance their riders whizzing past.

Cheers at this start point are sure to help give the riders a boost at this early stage as they get on their way on what is turning out to be a pretty warm day.

I think this is probably the best finish line that I have ever seen in my 20 years doing this!

There is 10,000 feet of climbing over the course of the race and it is spread over the course of the race, not backloaded. It is going to be attritional!

We are starting with only 90 riders which is not the usual thing for the riders taking part here - it is almost half of a Tour de France field. It is also going to be whittled down about 50 riders really quickly. So it is going to be an interesting race.

All of those conditions mixed up means that it is going to be a very unpredictable race.

The men's road race has just started, with Team GB's Tom Pidcock looking for his second medal of the Games after his iconic mountain biking win earlier in the week.

Welshman Josh Tarling is also involved and looking to bounce back after his disappointment in the time trial, when he suffered a puncture and agonisingly missed out on the medals.

It's a 273km course, so they are expected to finish much later at around 17:15 BST, but we will bring you updates of their progress throughout.

After failing to make the final in Tokyo, this time it's a brilliant bronze.

They look shattered as they regain their breath after a long-bursting effort but the celebrations will start soon.

Team GB cling on for bronze!

A gutsy race, but a late surge from Canada sees them pip GB for silver, with Romania taking a comfortable win.

It was a tight finish - Canada finishing in 2:58.18 and GB in 2:58.78.

I think Canada are going to tire, they may have gone out too hard.

Romania are surging ahead but it's neck and neck between Team GB and Canada for silver! 500m to go...

It is a good start for Team GB. You have to get out hard in this race.

Halfway there!

After 1000m, Romania have half a boat's lead with Canada and Team GB scrapping for second and third.
