After 25 shots, Australian James Willett is the first to be eliminated as he finished bottom with 19 out of 25. Now, the lowest-ranked shooters will start to be eliminated every five shots.

Nathan Hales leads, with 24 out of 25.

The competitors each shoot at 25 targets, at which point the sixth-placed athlete is eliminated. The lowest ranked competitor is then eliminated after every subsequent five shots each.

When only two athletes remain, they each shoot at another 10 targets (thus completing a total of 50 targets in the final), with their overall score determining the winner.

Nathan Hales has made a perfect start. He's made 15 out of 15 shots, and is in first place.

He's the only one to not miss a shot yet.

Just bear in mind these clays are shooting out at about 60 miles per hour, and you’ve got to hit it as soon as you can because the more second that pass by, the more distance the clay will move away from you.

The general feeling in the press area is that GB’s Kieran Reilly has got a serious chance at these Games.

The 2023 world champion is in great form and will go in the second heat here.

The feeling is he could keep his cards close to his chest in qualifying but “do something crazy” in tomorrow’s final.

For now he’s got to book his place there.

At the beach volleyball there is zero shade from the sun, not ideal on a day like today.

There are volunteers walking around the stands spraying spectators with water.

After they make the call the clays are released almost immediately and the clays arrive at different heights and different angles so it is a randomised sequence (scheme).

Ideally what trap shooters are after is to have their two to the right, two to the left and have their fifth target coming out down the middle.

This is a simple hit or miss. You either see the dust, or you don’t.

So, defending champion Charlotte Worthington out, over to reigning world champion Kieran Reilly.

The heat is utterly oppressive out here today and the athletes are taking any opportunity to shelter. It’s a case of have a quick practice, dive back under the brolly with an ice pack on your head.

In general walking around here at the moment it’s a bit like everyone has just taken a fully clothed shower. Would not recommend.

This dirty water story is getting to be an embarrassment for all involved – the Olympics organisers, the city of Paris and the French government.

We were led to believe that the Seine would be ready for swimming by the time of the Games, thanks to a massive investment of 1.4 billion euros.

Persistently negative tests in the past months were put down to rainy spring weather. That plus the fact that the massive underground holding reservoir near Austerlitz station – a key part of the solution – had yet to come on stream.

But now it is high summer and the Austerlitz reservoir is operating. And still the water is not clean enough.

Worse, it’s been revealed that on the day that city mayor Anne Hidalgo took her famous dip – 17 July – pollution levels were too high for bathing. Her explanation is that authorisation decisions are based on previous days’ results, which were positive.

It all begins to look like a massive exercise in finger-crossing – which is not how major sporting events are supposed to be run.

Which is a shame, because the big picture is that the river Seine is infinitely cleaner than it was 25 years ago. Most of the preparation for swimming has been achieved. The goal of opening the river for public bathing is within sight.

Just perhaps not in time for the Olympics.

The weather has been a bit all over the place at these Games so far.

Heavy rain in the first few days was replaced by scorching sunshine, but things could be about to take a turn for the worse again.

Meteo-France, the French meteorological organisation, has issued a storm warning for Tuesday evening into Wednesday.

The soaring temperatures are set to be replaced by thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds, with the potential for flash floods.

The thunder and lighting could potentially cause disruption to outside events, while the rain is unlikely to do much for the water quality in the River Seine, which has already forced the postponement of the men's triathlon.

The Olympics bring joy, but it also delivers despair.

A tearful Lucy Renshall spoke to BBC Sport shortly after her women's judo second round defeat Lubjana Piovesana.

AFP photographer Jerome Brouillet has been speaking about the photograph described by some as "the greatest sports photo of all time", which he took earlier during the Paris Olympics.

He was in a prime spot waiting for surfer Gabriel Medina of Brazil to "kick out" - exit the wave face at the end of his run.

"Every photographer is waiting for that. You know Gabriel Medina, especially at Teahupo'o will kick off and do something," said Brouillet.

"You know something is going to happen. The only tricky moment is where he is going to kick out? Because I'm blind!

"Sometimes he makes an acrobatic gesture and this time he did that and so I pushed the button."

It was a disappointing afternoon for Charlotte Worthington, whose defence of her Olympic BMX freestyle title came to an early end.

Due to extreme heat, the cooling rule has been applied to all tennis men's and women's singles matches. There will be a 10 minute break between the second and third sets.

A heat warning has been issued for Paris with temperatures reaching 35C.

A yellow alert - the second of the four weather tiers - is in place in the capital, with an orange alert in Bordeaux and Lyon. Athletes have been wearing ice vests and spectators were carrying hand fans as the heatwave hit.
