Olympic gold medal winning hockey player on BBC TV

Great Britain had a really tough start. Their opening game against Spain was a challenging result and a challenging performance.

But the games come thick and fast here, and they have gained some momentum with wins against South Africa and then USA.

They were scoring some beautiful fluid goals. They are going to need to do that today, if they can, but they are also going to need to defend.

Great Britain are about to play their fifth and final pool game in the women's hockey.

GB have medalled at the last Games, winning gold in 2016, and have already booked their place in the quarter-finals after winning their last two games.

They now face an Argentina team which is ranked second in the world and were silver medallists at Tokyo 2020. They are also through to the last eight having won their first three pool games before earning a draw with Australia last time out.

Bonjour from Les Invalides where Great Britain’s Megan Havers is in last-16 action against South Korea’s Lim Si-hyeon, who already has two gold medals under her belt at this Games with victory in the mixed and women’s team events.

Havers is just 16-years-old and is actually awaiting the results of her GCSE’s while she competes in Paris.

With Penny Healey and Bryony Pitman already out, Havers is GB’s last woman standing. Not only that but she’s the youngest archer at the entire Games.

I wonder what is more nerve-racking, competing in the Olympics or trying to remember trigonometry?

British shooter Amber Rutter is out the blocks fast in the women’s skeet!

A perfect 25 out of 25 in the opening qualification round moves her into joint first place with Nele Wissmer from Germany.

Two more qualification rounds of 25 shots today and a further two tomorrow, with the top six progressing to Sunday’s final.

Rutter became a mum for the first time just four months ago and would love nothing more than to bring home a gold medal present for baby Tommy.

Sally Proud, mother of GB swimmer Ben Proud, who won silver in the men's 50m freestyle last night has spoken to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast after a memorable night for the family: "I’m ecstatic, it’s been a long journey.

"He had a tough few years, he turned his mental side around and has fallen in love with it again, which is amazing.

"He was very lucky to get a swimming scholarship, that’s when [coach] John Rudd took over."

Team GB's Ben Proud ended his long wait for an Olympic medal by claiming silver in the 50m freestyle.

At his third Olympics, 29-year-old Proud - who had won world, European and Commonwealth gold but never a medal on the sport's biggest stage - was second, just 0.05 seconds behind Australia's Cam McEvoy in the one-length sprint.

Proud's Olympic past had been one of near misses.

The man born in England, but who grew up in Malaysia before returning to the UK and then leaving to train in Turkey, was fourth at the Rio Olympics and fifth in Tokyo.

Proud considered his future in the sport after those Tokyo Games, but then won the world title in 2022.

Proud, said: "That was probably the best swim I've done in a championship final."

Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood moved into contention for a medal in the Olympic men's golf event with a second-round 64 as Rory McIlroy failed to mount a charge at Le Golf National in Paris.

While Fleetwood finished with a bogey, he carded six birdies and an eagle to sit alongside Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and American reigning champion Xander Schauffele on 11 under par at the halfway mark of the 72-hole strokeplay competition.

It was a frustrating day for McIlroy, however, with a two-under 69 leaving him six shots adrift of the leaders.

The Team Ireland golfer carded an eagle, four birdies, two bogeys and a double in another up-and-down round on the course that hosted Europe's 2018 Ryder Cup win.

The golf has just resumed this morning - click here to see the full leaderboard.

Our coverage on BBC One has now also started, with badminton kicking off our Saturday.

It's the women's singles quarter-final between South Korea and Japan.

More from GB's trampolining gold medallist Bryony Page: "The person who finished second was 19-years-old, so she was a lot younger than me! I don't feel my age [33-years-old]. I actually feel stronger and healthier than I did in my 20s.

"I have been carrying an injury this year but that's not to do with age, that's actually because I'm really stubborn and I want to train harder and better all the time. But, generally, my time of flight scores show I'm the strongest I have ever been.

"I just have to be smarter with my training sometimes. I have to do more hours in the gym than on the trampoline to prepare my body in the best way I can."

On whether she has another Olympics left in her: "Potentially, yes. Maybe another two as well! I have never competed in Australia before so I would absolutely love to be able to compete in Brisbane.

"I'm definitely not finished competing yet. I have a few more things I want to compete in. I want to see where my glass ceiling is and try to break through it."

Bryony Page has been speaking to BBC Breakfast after picking up Great Britain's first trampolining Olympic gold yesterday: "It is just unbelievable. I'm definitely in shock and waiting for it to sink in a little bit! I'm absolutely overwhelmed but very happy and emotional."

On having to recover from 'the yips' which is a loss of motor skills syndrome: "In my late-teens and early 20s, I suffered from a mental block.

"I could do triple somersaults, double twist, double back - all the kind of difficult skills - but I just lost all of my confidence and ability to take off for those skills. It would just stop me, even though I really wanted to try.

"I would feel like a failure. It was difficult because I felt like I was grieving about not being able to do the sport that I love to do because of this weird thing going on in my brain.

"It took many years to overcome but to overcome it made me feel like I could do anything."

Also on Friday, a stunned Bryony Page won Great Britain's first trampoline Olympic gold to complete her set of a medal of every colour.

The 33-year-old, who took silver at Rio 2016 for GB's first Olympic trampoline medal, followed up with bronze at Tokyo 2020 before securing the ultimate prize in Paris with 56.480 points.

Two-time individual world champion Page had her head in her hands and looked in disbelief at Bercy Arena when her score beat Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya, who took silver, with Canada's Sophiane Methot in bronze.

Page later admitted she had forgotten there was still one more gymnast to compete and had been a little premature with thoughts of gold when she saw she was top of the scoreboard - but it was soon time to celebrate for real.

Emily Craig and Imogen Grant won Great Britain’s second rowing gold of the Paris Olympics with a commanding performance in the women’s lightweight double sculls.

They took the lead after 500m of the 2,000m race and pulled away to win by almost a length from fast-finishing Romania and Greece in third.

The victory completes a remarkable run for the duo, who have been unbeaten since missing out on a medal at the Tokyo Olympics by 0.01 seconds.

They celebrated by throwing their arms into the air as they added the Olympic title to back-to-back world and European triumphs.

There were floods of tears and beaming smiles as they received their gold medals before heading off to celebrate with their friends and families in the stands.

"The tears were for all the training, early nights, parties and weddings missed, just all of it coming out at once," said Grant, who starts work as a junior doctor two days after the closing ceremony on 11 August.

And there are hopes of more medals to come in today's rowing - the women's and men's eight finals are taking place from 9:50 BST.

It was another good day for Team GB's rowers on Friday.

Oliver Wynne-Griffith and Tom George were pipped to the gold medal in the men's pair in a dramatic finale.

Wynne-Griffith, from Wales, and George, of England, led for the majority of the race and looked set to win but Croatian brothers Martin and Valent Sinkovic charged past them in the closing 20m and won by 0.45 seconds to retain their title.

Having put in such a huge effort, the British duo's disappointment was clear to see, with Wynne-Griffith admitting to getting the finish wrong.

"I made a mistake on the line and that's racing for you," he said. "Olympic silver medallists... I'm so proud of what we did."

There was a few medals handed out yesterday and also an engagement ring!

The Games are taking place in the 'City of Love', so it makes sense to combine a gold medal-winning performance with a proposal to your beloved.

Congratulations Huang Yaqiong, who got engaged to her boyfriend, men's doubles player Liu Yuchen, after their triumph in the badminton mixed doubles.

The repechage rounds have been introduced to the athletics at Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will give athletes a second chance to qualify for the semi-finals.

So, if an athlete does not qualify out of their heats they will be able to compete in the repechage round for another chance, basically replacing the previous 'fastest loser' way of qualifying.

It is important for those who can sometimes fail to qualify because of a fall or something else that is out of their control.

It's being used in the athletics on events including:

• Women's 100m Hurdles
• Men's 110m Hurdles
• Men's and Women's 200m Hurdles
• Men's and Women's 400m
• Men's and Women's 400m Hurdles
• Men's and Women's 800m
• Men's and Women's 1500m

Our coverage has now started on BBC iPlayer and on the red button, and you can also watch at the top of this page.

The mixed team elimination rounds of the judo are on now between the Netherlands and Serbia.

And the first gold medal of the athletics on the track went to Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei, who claimed the 10,000m title.

World record holder Cheptegei sprinted clear on the final lap to set an Olympic record of 26:43.14.
