    I’m at the Chateau de Versailles for the individual and team dressage Grand Prix.

    Britain’s three-strong team of Lottie Fry, Carl Hester and Becky Moody will be in action throughout the day (from 10:00 BST).

    Today and tomorrow are the qualifying round, with the team final on Saturday and the individual on Sunday.

    Tests are scored by seven judges, with points given for individual movements. At the end, the total scores are combined and given as a percentage.

    The key thing, though, is that it is very, very hot. Beautiful, but hot.

    Team GB canoeist Adam Burgess who won an Olympic silver medal in men's canoe singles final speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "I'm tired, pretty overwhelmed it has been a bit of whirlwind. I'm just so, so happy.

    "I had no idea how fast the top section of my run was, I had no idea how much time I lost on the mistake that I made. The number of finals, the number of races that it has been one mistake for me which has cost me the podium.

    "When I made that error, I wondered whether this was another one of those. But I got myself up to that gate so fast because obviously you gain time on the bottom of the course but you've got no idea until you cross the line.

    "I had a vague idea of how the competition had been going so far from the commentary but to see my split come up green at the bottom was just sheer elation."

    Matthew De George, Assistant Sports Editor for the Delaware County Daily Times and Senior Writer for Swimming World on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, reviewing the swimming 200m freestyle final: "I had to watch it back many times to figure out how David Popovici got his hand in there [to finish first]. I thought he was maybe fourth going in to the final metre, maybe in to the final stroke but he just hit his final stroke so perfectly.

    "I thought [Matt] Richards was in, I thought he was the one that was going to get there. Richards closed really hard and it was an amazing finish and it fit what has been for the last few days a super open race where five or six guys could have won that and it turns out it ended up being Popovici.

    "Duncan Scott did really swim a good race and for him to be fourth, obviously there was a couple of fourths last night, that was a little painful for the British swimmers.

    "Richards did a great job, he is a guy that knows how to swim his own race and in a outside lane he is able to do that and that's how he gets his silver."

    Matt Richards missed out on a stunning Olympic gold by two hundredths of a second but took a thrilling silver in the 200m freestyle in Paris.

    Out in lane one after only qualifying seventh fastest, Richards, 21, came agonisingly close as Romania’s rising star David Popovici, 19, touched first to win gold by a fingertip.

    The margin was the same as what separated Adam Peaty from gold on Sunday, with just 0.15 seconds splitting the top four in a sprint to the wall.

    Luke Hobson of the United States was 0.05 seconds behind Richards for bronze while GB’s Duncan Scott, the silver medallist three years ago, narrowly missed out in fourth.

    Matthew De George, Assistant Sports Editor for the Delaware County Daily Times and Senior Writer for Swimming World on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast on Mona McSharry winning Ireland's first medal of the Paris Olympics as she secured bronze at the women's 100m breaststroke: "All week it has been great swims from Mona McSharry, she set an Irish record in the semi-finals and then this swim was just kind of getting the job done and doing what she needed to do.

    "Everyone was a bit slower from the semis to finals and it was just a really gutsy race from her. She was so emotional on the podium and she is just the second Irish swimmer to ever medal, the other one being Michelle Smith in 1996. It's a massive, massive achievement for a burgeoning swim programme in that country."

    Mona McSharry has won Ireland's first medal of the Paris Olympics after taking bronze in the women's 100m breaststroke.

    McSharry finished third in a tight final, which was won by South Africa's Tatjana Smith with Tang Qianting second for China.

    The 23-year-old looked in shock as she checked the screen to see where she had finished, as her quiet confidence about securing a medal in Paris became a euphoric reality.

    "It's amazing," the Sligo swimmer told BBC Sport NI after winning Ireland's first medal in the pool since the Atlanta Games in 1996.

    Whisper it quietly, but there could be a first gold medallist from Northern Ireland in 36 years on day four at the Games as Daniel Wiffen swims in the 800m freestyle final.

    The last gold medallists from Northern Ireland came when Stephen Martin and Jimmy Kirkwood triumphed with GB's hockey team in 1988.

    Lady Mary Peters was the last individual athlete to win gold in the pentathlon way back in 1972.

    If you think we're putting too much pressure on him, the Ireland swimmer is already a world champion in this event and he told me before departing for France that he wouldn't be leaving Paris without a medal. Now that's some level of belief.

    Oh, and he was fastest in the heats. This is a genuine shot at gold for the 23-year-old.

    Jack McMillan, from County Down, is also racing for Team GB in the 4x200m freestyle. With the heats and final for that event to come, it could be a golden day in the pool.

  17. 'This is about the mental aspect now'published at 08:40 British Summer Time 30 July

    More from Vicky Holland, discussing the impact it has on the athletes' preparation: "You've prepared your whole life for it. It's one day, you've got your taper down exactly right so you know the day you can perform at your best, you've done your training in the build up.

    "24 hours isn't nothing, but it's not the biggest deal. The best case scenario is that we do get that race tomorrow and I think more so, it is this mental aspect now. They've got to accept what's happened, they can't change it. There's nothing they can do about the lost day, the day that was supposed to be the men's triathlon.

    "They will hope to be relaxed. The athletes will have hoped to just get back to sleep this morning because they're unlikely to have a great sleep tonight. Those things are going to determine really who will have a great day tomorrow.

    "This is something that is a huge deal, not just in our sport, but for the wider world as well. There are less and less bodies of water in the world that are safe to swimmer and that's a real shame, from anyone who just wants to be in the water but also it's a pollution and environmental problem.

    "It really highlights that we really need to try and clean up these bodies of water. I know that here with Paris, that is something they tried to do. They spent a huge amount of money trying to clear up the Seine and they have done a really good job of it, it just quite hasn't meant the standard yet."

    'I don't think anyone thought it would get cancelled, yet here we are'published at 08:36 British Summer Time 30 July

    Men's triathlon

    Vicky Holland, who won bronze in the women's triathlon at the 2016 Olympics has also been discussing the triathlon postponement on BBC One: "It's of course not ideal in any way, this sort of thing to happen. Without wishing to make it a bigger deal than it is, it's not great.

    "It is something that has been spoken about endlessly, the water quality issues we've had here in Paris. It's something we've known about for years, it's just not in the recent months. I do believe there had been a real attitude now, especially among the athletes and the British team that it will be alright on the day. Yes, there had been contingencies in place and we had planned that there might have to be a change, but I don't think anyone though it would happen, yet here we are.

    "At the moment, the water quality at the moment isn't quite good enough. There had been a lot of rain around the opening ceremony and day one of competition. That's unfortunately washed a lot of stuff off the streets to the Seine, that's now coming through the river and we're hoping that it will pass in time for the water quality testing that will happen before tomorrow morning. We'll know in 24 hours whether that has happened.

    "All being well, hopefully we will get two races out tomorrow. From an athlete point of view, the men just have to keep their nerve. It's only a 24 hour delay, not ideal, they've probably had a disrupted night's sleep. Right now, it is as much mental as it is physical."

  19. 'A lot of very unhappy athletes'published at 08:30 British Summer Time 30 July

    Triathlon commentator Annie Emmerson speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast from near the River Seine: "It's looking very eerie. There should have been an absolutely amazing atmosphere. Lots of people have come out because they don't realise the triathlon has been postponed. The water doesn't look great and there is also a really strong current as well.

    "They have said that the women's race will take place at eight o'clock in the morning [tomorrow] as was scheduled and then the men's at 10:45. I think it is slightly up in the air, it's 50/50 still but that's what they said at 03:30 this morning. Strange time to make the decision as there were athletes that had gone to bed thinking they were getting up to do a triathlon today which is obviously not happening.

    "A lot of very unhappy athletes, very disappointed with the decision that has been made. It is the right decision, of course. The athletes cannot swim here. In terms of the location and the choice of the venue, that is what is in question now.

    "People have planned meticulously to start at 8am this morning and they are just going to have to make those changes and stay calm. Some athletes will fare a lot better than others. Some will go with it and others will be pretty stressed by it."

  20. Postpublished at 08:27 British Summer Time 30 July

    There are a lot of question marks surrounding the triathlon, and very little time to come up with the answers.

    As it stands, the men's event is going to take place after the women's event tomorrow.

    Yesterday, organisers said a duathlon (which just involves cycling and running, no swim) would be the "last resort". There is a lot of confusion for the athletes, who must be feeling unsettled considering the constant changes and the fact they haven't been able to train at all in the river yet.

    BBC triathlon commentator Annie Emmerson has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about how the athletes are unhappy, and whether the Seine was the correct choice of location. In London 2012, for example, the swimming leg took place in the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park as opposed to the Thames.
