    Team GB's eliminated 51-year-old skateboarder Andy Macdonald, speaking to the BBC: "That is how you're supposed to do it, get your run down and then everything else is bonus.

    "Experience of a lifetime being at the Olympics.

    "The first run I didn't do the gnarly heel flick. That's a trick I invented and I didn't want to bail on a trick that I invented.

    "Then on my second round I put that in, then in my third round I put in the fake 540 that is the one that did it for me in Budapest, it was totally bonus if I could make it here.

    "I did a backflip for the fans, thank you and good night."

    On chances of qualifying for Paris: "It was a longshot from the get-go. Thanks to Team GB for getting me here, paying for the plane tickets and getting me to the six stops on the tour.

    "There is very few things that bring the world together, sport is one of those things and the Olympics is one of them."

    Well, if loudest cheers, noisiest stamps and biggest score-related boos had been the measure then Andy Macdonald would have surged into the final.

    But, with his top score of 77.66 for his third and final run, the skateboarding veteran misses the cut on his debut by finishing 18th.

    The top three were Keegan Palmer (93.78), Tom Schaar (92.05) and Alex Sorgente (91.14). The eight-man final is from 16:30.

    Round two of dives over, and British duo Yasmin Harper and Grace Reid are in eighth and 12th respectively.

    Harper is already leaving Paris with a medal after she and Scarlett Mew Jensen took home bronze in the synchro 3m springboard. She’d love another to pop in her luggage back to the UK.

    Netherlands have cruised into their sixth successive Olympic women's hockey final with a 3-0 victory over Argentina.

    In a repeat of the Tokyo 2020 final, which the Dutch won 3-1, Luna Noa Fokke opened the scoring in the 21st minute before Laura Nunnink doubled the lead shortly before half-time.

    Yibbi Jansen then scored from a penalty corner in the third quarter to all-but seal a comprehensive win.

    The final is on Friday 9 August at 19:00 BST.

    A horrible moment in the diving as Alison Gibson of the USA, during her first dive, spins and ends up slamming her feet into the end of the board.

    It drew gasps from the crowd as she landed in the water but, thankfully, she seems to be OK.

    I always end up holding my breath slightly when someone leaps backwards - it’s difficult to appreciate just how close the divers actually are to this tiny springy board. Ouch.

    We've heard boos again! And they are for when Andy Macdonald's score comes up at 76.61 for his second run.

    The crowd were stamping their feet in appreciation - the temporary stand holds up well - but they don't like the score.

    Andy Macdonald waves his skateboard in the air - he's absolutely loved this! And so have the crowd - people on their feet to give huge respect to the Briton.

    He has had to effectively learn a new discipline having spent most of his multi-decade career doing vert - where the walls are much higher than the ones in park.

    He is savouring this.
