The rest of the men's team sprint will take place tomorrow from 17.59 BST - very precise! Will GB be able to get themselves a medal?

For now, though, we move back to the women's event.

First up, it's the race for places 7th and 8th. Then for 5th and 6th.

At 18:54 it will be the bronze-medal race between the Netherlands and Germany.

Then it's the big one. Great Britain will battle against New Zealand for gold.

At five metres 70 centimetres that is ridiculous from Mondo Duplantis. He is so much better than everybody. Just look at how much space there is between him and the bar.

That 5.5m looked comfortable for Sam Kendricks, and we would expect it to as he's been in really good form.

He's gone over 5.9m seven times already this year so he would expect to be close to featuring in those medals later on tonight - as do we.

If there were any doubts about whether Mondo Duplantis was up for this final then the Swede has just laid down a major statement with his first vault.

The two-time world championship gold medallist and Tokyo 2020 gold medallist clears 5.70m with ease - he had plenty of room to spare and could have been around 6m in the air!

The Dutch are tres rapide. A new Olympic record.

That's what GB are up against.

GB's lead doesn't last for long. The Netherlands, with a new Olympic record of 41.279 seconds, top the standings at the end of qualification.

A few of the headlines from today in Paris:

• Joe Clarke won silver and Kimberley Woods took bronze in the men's and women's finals of the kayak cross.
• USA superstar Simone Biles said she had achieved "way more than my wildest dreams" despite failing to win a further gold medal on Monday, walking away with silver from the women's floor final.
• Team GB won bronze in the triathlon mixed team relay as Beth Potter finished narrowly behind the USA's Taylor Knibb and Laura Lindemann, who secured gold for Germany.
• GB women's hockey team were beaten 3-1 by the Netherlands in their quarter-final, while GB's Zharnel Hughes has withdrawn from tonight's 200m heats because of hamstring tightness.

Here's what's coming up in the next few hours:

• GB's women are going for gold in the women's team sprint final at 18:59 BST, having earlier set a new world record time during qualifying.
• Keely Hodgkinson is GB's other big medal hope this evening, running in the women's 800m final at 20:47 BST.
• Morocco and Spain are currently drawing 1-1 in the second half of their men's football semi-final.
• The evening's athletics session is due to began at, starting with the men's pole vault final.

Morocco's Mohamed Tindouft runs a personal best 8:10.62 seconds to take the second heat, before heading over to the side of the track to hug compatriot Soufiane El Bakkali, who won the opening heat.

Ethiopia's Samuel Firewu, Kenya's Abraham Kibiwot, Japan's Ryuji Miura and India's Avinash Sable are also through.

There has also been a development from the opening heat and Kenya's Amos Serem, who finished sixth, has been handed a place in the final.

Replays show that Serem was either pushed or impeded by a cone - possibly both - as he attempted to jump a hurdle and was unable to make up enough ground to get into the top five.

This is an unknown team. Two-thirds of it have never been to an Olympics before but Carlin has showed it can be done.

That was extraordinary. That was an exceptional final lap. To turn that much around was absolutely huge.

Jack Carlin brought it right back!

That was a 12.374 third lap, very very good.

Quickest so far for the last rider.

Fantastic.

GB are the new leaders! That's a brilliant ride from Jack Carlin.

The British team were third fastest heading into the final lap, but Carlin makes up the difference to set a time of 41.862 seconds.

The Netherlands - the defending champions - will be the final team to go.

Jack Carlin, Ed Lowe and Hamish Turnbull race for Team GB next.

Australia have set the quickest time so far - 42.072 seconds.

"Allez les Bleus, allez les Bleus."

France's Olympic fever hits the velodrome as they line up for the men's team sprint.

They record the third fastest time so far with GB next and then the Netherlands.

In case you missed it earlier, Team GB's Laviai Nielsen and Amber Anning safely made it through their heats to qualify for the women's 400m semi-finals on Wednesday.

Victoria Ohuruogu finished fourth in her heat to go through to Tuesday's repechage.

No time to breathe, next up on the schedule tonight it’s the men’s team sprint qualifying.

Jack Carlin and Olympic debutants Ed Lowe and Hamish Turnbull race for Team GB. This is the first Olympics since 1996 that one of the Sirs, Chris Hoy or Jason Kenny, haven’t been involved in this event.

Carlin won silver alongside Kenny and Ryan Owens three years ago, losing out to the Dutch, who are the favourites again.

Three teams breaking the world record in the space of about ten minutes.

That’s what you call rising to the occasion.

The opening heat - we've got three lined up - has just concluded and Morocco's Soufiane El Bakkali, who took gold at Tokyo 2020, takes victory at a canter.

There's a sizable group just in behind with Uganda's Leonard Chemutai, Ethiopia's Getnet Wale, Spain's Daniel Arce and Tunisia's Ahmed Jaziri securing their place in the final.

The top five finishers from each heat go through.

It's heartbreak for Kenya's Amos Serem - highly fancied to among those challenging for a medal - as he missed a hurdle and had to go back to complete it.

He just couldn't make up enough ground.

You have to time the changeover to perfection. If you get that wrong, you can lose tenths (of seconds) quite easily but you can also lose your race, because you can get yourself disqualified.

These girls are the best that’ve seen since the Victoria Pendleton days. The way they work together and that team environment that they have is fantastic. They want ach other to do well, whether they’re in the team sprint or whether they go on to complete individually.

That to me is what makes them successful
