    At present Hideki Matsuyama is at the top of the leaderboard after carding an eight-under 63 in his first round at Le Golf National.

    The 2021 Masters winner from Japan is already in the clubhouse although reigning champion Xander Schauffele, who has won the US PGA Championship and the Open this year is only a stroke adrift with a handful of holes to play.

    Plenty of big names have completed their opening rounds but as you can see from our leaderboard, there are still a few out on the course.

    Canoe slalom - men's k1 semi-final

    Plenty of penalties so far. After nine paddlers we're still waiting for a clean run.

    It's a two second penalty if you hit one of the gates, while it's a whopping 50 seconds if you fail to go through a gate.

    The fastest 12 paddlers will make it through to the final.

    As it stands, Austria's Felix Oschmautz is the leader with a time of 91.83 seconds.

    I’d be interested to know just how much of the atmosphere and crowd reactions the athletes can actually take in as they power down the course past the main stand.

    Every competitor is being cheered and supported loudly but, whenever someone makes contact with a gate and receives a time penalty, there are audible gasps and groans.

    The spectators are living every twist and turn here, but if things start to go wrong you can’t help but think that might throw some of our kayakers off, especially when they come to a standstill as they try and navigate the upstream gates.

    Early days but we’ve only had one clean run so far. Hopefully, no such issues for Joe Clarke.

    It’s a brilliant atmosphere as always at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, where the men’s kayak single semi-final has just got under way.

    Great Britain’s Joe Clarke has a serious gold medal chance as he aims to reclaim his Olympic title, having been omitted from the squad in Tokyo.

    But first things first. Clarke must set up that opportunity by getting through the semis. In this game, you’re only a couple of mistakes from disaster.

    There are far more British flags than I have noticed on previous days, so Clarke can expect great support out there.

    If you're just joining us you may have missed a very eventful 45 minutes or so this morning in which Great Britain won three more rowing medals at at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

    There was no historic third gold for Helen Glover but the women's four - with Esme Booth, Sam Redgrave and Rebecca Shorten alongside Glover - did get silver after being pipped on the line by the Netherlands.

    Either side of that, there were bronze medals for Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Becky Wilde in the women's double sculls and men's coxless four crew Oli Wilkes, David Ambler, Matt Aldridge and Freddie Davidson.

    Watch how it all unfolded here...

    For Great Britain's Joe Clarke, this has been eight years in the making.

    After winning gold in Rio, Clarke failed to qualify for Tokyo four years later.

    I interviewed Clarke a year ago and he made it perfectly clear that Olympic gold was his aim.

    Let's see how he gets on in his semi-final at 14:30 BST before the final two hours later at 16:30 BST.

    GB win bronze in women's double sculls

    More from Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Becky Wilde on their women's double sculls bronze medals on BBC:

    Hodgkins-Byrne: "I think it's starting to sink in a bit. When everyone is cheering for us, it's completely surreal but the fact they were all cheering for us was incredible. I've never been in that situation before and it's quite overwhelming. Really special."

    On her future: "I'm kind of taking each day as it comes. I wasn't meant to be riding this Olympiad and I did and I've loved every minute of it. I think for me, as long as I love the journey ahead, that's all I can ask for."

    On whether her young son Freddie awake for it: "Freddie was awake and trying to steal my medal. I think that will have to be kept out of his way, or he might use it as something to batter me with. For me safety, I'm keeping it away from him."

    Wilde: "So wild. It's crazy. It's going to take a long time to sink in, that was amazing."

    On the emotions of the medal: "It's just so many years of hard work. I've dreamed of coming to the Olympics and winning medals for as long as I can remember, so many people have helped me get here. To be able to do that is such a relief for me and for them as well."

    'I have never seen that in a medal race'published at 14:09 British Summer Time 1 August

    Men's skiff medal race

    Niall Myant
    Sailing commentator on BBC TV

    I have never seen that in a medal race at the Olympic level. I can only imagine it's because the breeze has drifted so dramatically the committee have decided it's unfair so they've abandoned the race. Quite the moment.

    That would have been a really hard decision. These are the best of the best, they train and work at this, they commit themselves to making the playing field as level as possible and they obviously felt that it was unworkable, it was pushing boats forward that shouldn't have been there and they've decided to let this one go.

    Great Britain were not having the greatest race. I cannot believe we have abandoned a medal race. It's a shorter race, so you normally only need one small patch in the wind. Even the race management team are saying we got this one wrong.

    I think for Spain, it will be a blow but for some of the other teams, it will be a lifeline. New Zealand will take this as a relief. The conversation here can't be wait too long here, you need to just wait for the next one.

  18. Race abandonedpublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 1 August

    Men's skiff medal race

    Goodness me. What has just happened?

    The breeze changes dramatically as the boats come towards the end of the first lap and the blue and white chequered flag is raised - race abandoned!

    Presumably because it is felt there was an unfair advantage to some teams.

    That's not necessarily bad news for Great Britain's James Peters and Fynn Sterritt. They were sixth but the race will restart - we'll wait to find out how soon that happens - and they'll have another chance to lift themselves from seventh into the top three.

    Talk about drama.

    GB win bronze in men's four final

    Oli Wilkes and David Ambler from Great Britain's men's four rowing team have been speaking on BBC Two after winning bronze medals earlier today.

    Wilkes: "It's really special because we've put in loads of work over a lot of years. For me, a couple of years ago, I didn't think I'd even make it into the team and we had a crazy year last year, I couldn't have wished for anything better and this year, we faced more challenges. We've stuck together and got through it.

    "While bronze wasn't the dream we could have hoped for last year, I think we can be proud of ourselves for getting the bronze today. We really backed each other up and got stuck in."

    Ambler: "We've faced our share of challenges as I'm sure everyone has, I don't know what's going on with other crews. It's the usuals, injuries, illness, just struggling with a really competitive event. I think ultimately like everyone, we've had challenges, but we've dealt with them really well.

    "We've dealt with them as best as we can and we've stuck together. We've stuck as group with our coaches and as a squad as a whole. I think today, we got the best performance out of the year when it counted and got a medal for it. Delighted with it."
