They’re out onto this brutal bike course, yes it’s pan flat but it’s got an awful lot of cobbles.

We're 54 minutes into this women's triathlon now and they're just ending lap four of seven of this cycling leg.

With Beth Potter and Georgia Taylor-Brown still among that lead group, there is every chance for Team GB to add to their medal tally.

A long way still to go. Three more laps on the bike before the small matter of a 10km run to the finish...

The lead group remains 10-strong and the they continue to rotate the lead among themselves, with Great Britain's Georgia Taylor-Brown out in front as they come down the Champs-Elysees.

Meanwhile, another Briton Kate Waugh is at the front of the chasing pack, who seem to be gaining on that lead group now.

Goodness me, if you've just turned on your TV this morning you might be wondering what on earth is going on.

The roads are greasy from the morning rain and we've already witnessed several crashes, but the chase group has managed to reel in the daring Flora Duffy after a frantic first couple of bike laps.

Maybe that will calm the front of the race down slightly. Maybe.

The chasing pack of nine riders have caught Flora Duffy. Now there’s a leading group of 10, which includes two Brits, Beth Potter and Georgia Taylor-Brown. What these athletes are doing now is they’re rotating the lead, to try and keep this pressure, to try and keep the pace going. Build a gap between them and the rest.

Daniel Wiffen became the first athlete from Northern Ireland to win an Olympic gold medal in 36 years in a thrilling 800m freestyle final in Paris.

The Team Ireland swimmer edged the USA's Bobby Finke to take gold by 0.56 seconds after a stunning burst of pace over the final 50 metres.

The 23-year-old also set an Olympic record with his blistering finish as he recorded a time of 7:38.19.

The pockets of support for Wiffen erupted around the La Defense Arena as he secured a first gold medal of the Games for Ireland.

"I was writing 'I'm going into the history books', and that's exactly what I've done," he told BBC Sport.

Gymnastics - women's team final

Quickly back to our recap of yesterday's action and Simone Biles inspired the United States to victory in the women's team gymnastics event as the first leg of a "redemption tour" began with a fifth Olympic gold.

For the world's most decorated gymnast it is a first Olympic gold since Rio 2016 after she pulled out of several events in Tokyo three years ago with the 'twisties' - a disorientating mental block.

Fellow sporting greats like Serena Williams and Michael Phelps were on their feet in the packed Bercy Arena as Biles' stunning Taylor Swift-inspired floor routine sealed gold for her and team-mates Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera.

Italy took silver and Brazil claimed bronze for their first medal in the event, while Great Britain came an agonising fourth.

It's all happening here on the streets of Paris.

The athletes will be a little bit twitchy and a little bit more nervous than usual and sometimes that can make riding on conditions like this even more dangerous.

A really disappointing moment for Vittoria Lopes, hopefully she will be back on her bike.

The crashes just keep coming and Ainsley Thorpe of New Zealand is one of the latest casualties of the slippery roads.

Meanwhile, up front Flora Duffy has been reeled in by the chasing group of nine riders - including Britain's Beth Potter - and perhaps the effort she put into the swim is staring to tell.

The second lap ends with Potter leading the way!

Bermuda's Flora Duffy is remains out in front, cycling all alone for the moment, but there has been a bit of drama behind her.

Rain this morning has made the roads pretty slick and dealing with cobbles is an extra complication and one a couple of triathletes have fallen foul of.

Brazil's Vittoria Lopes was part of the main chasing group but she has just fallen. That is one of a number of crashes so far.

Great Britain's Nathan Hales won Olympic gold by setting a new Games record in the men's trap shooting final.

The 28-year-old hit 48 shots out of 50 to break the previous record of 43 and secure GB's first men's trap gold since 1968.

"I cannot quite believe it!" Hales told BBC Sport. "It is a dream come true and something I set out 10 years ago to achieve."

Hales' gold is Britain's third of the Paris Games and their 11th medal overall.

China's Qi Ying claimed silver with 44 out of 50 while Guatemala's Jean Pierre Brol Cardenas clinched bronze.

Of course, we'll keep you up-to-date with everything going on in the triathlon but with the cycle in the early stages, let's quickly recap the best of the action from yesterday. We'll start with a legend who suddenly seems a lot less keen on retirement based on his last couple of performances...

British tennis icon Andy Murray extended his retirement roadshow at Paris 2024 with another epic win alongside Dan Evans to move into the quarter-finals of the Olympic men's doubles.

Murray, 37, will call time on his illustrious career at the end of the Games - but has no desire to quit just yet.

The British pair moved into the last eight after winning 6-3 6-7 (8-10) 11-9 against Belgium's Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen in the second round.

After missing two match points in the second-set tie-break, they took their third in the first-to-10 match tie-break - but only after seeing off two match points for their Belgian opponents.

Evans stuck away a volley to leave both men jumping for joy before an elated, elongated embrace.

Murray broke down in tears on his seat as he contemplated what had just happened following the wild celebrations.

Flora Duffy, the Olympic champion three years ago, is leading at the moment. She's 36-years-old now, a lot of injury issues in the build-up, knee issues. She didn’t compete in a single race last year. So a little bit of a shock to see her out in front, with a little bit of a gap.

Bermuda's Flora Duffy is first out of the water again at the end of the shorter second lap after 22 minutes and five seconds, Great Britain's Beth Potter is 20 seconds back in fifth. Georgia Taylor-Brown is 10th, a further 16 seconds behind the race leader.

Duffy is quickly up the steps and prepares to begin the 40km cycle.

Beth Potter was the world champion in 2023. She won the test event that happened on this course last summer. She has been good, she has been back on the podium.

She hasn't yet won a race so I know that will be playing into her mind a little bit. You can't write her off, she is such a good racer.

Triathlon in a nutshell is who can punish themselves the most and we know Beth is very good at that.

Harry Poole

Great Britain have a great chance of a spectacular golden start to the day.

Both world champion Beth Potter and Tokyo runner-up Alex Yee will have their eyes firmly fixed on victory in their respective races, while Georgia Taylor Brown also won individual silver three years ago.

There home fans are making a lot of noise in the stands as the race gets under way and they too will be hopeful of celebrating a victory here.

The French threat in the women's race comes from Cassandre Beaugrand and Emma Lombardi, who completed the world podium behind Potter in 2023.

Allez les Bleus echoes around the banks of the Seine at just gone 7am in Paris. Show time!

This is one of the most complicated triathlon swims that I have ever seen.

But the athletes are meticulous in their preparation not just in training but for their racing so they will have analysed this course to within an inch of their life with their coaches.

The current is so strong and the athletes are really getting strung out in this first lap.
