    Emma Finucane is on her way for her keirin first round. She's been chilling in the British riders' pen, earphones in, getting in the zone.

    All the pens have your bog standard plastic chairs for the riders to sit on, but the Brits have thought of everything, and look to have far more comfortable, recliner-style chairs.

    And fans. The all-important fans to keep cool in this sweltering velodrome.

  9. WATCH: Carlin and Turnbull through in men's sprint

    Great Britain's Jack Carlin and Hamish Turnbull both progressed in the men's sprint earlier.

    Carlin was fifth and Turnbull seventh in the opening round.

    The next round is from 16:30 BST, with the round after following at 18:38.

  10. What is the keirin and how does it work?

    Track cycling - women's keirin first round

    In the keirin, riders follow a pacing motorbike or electric bike called a derny, which gradually increases in speed from 30km/h to 50km/h.

    Before the start of the race, riders draw lots to decide on their position behind the derny.

    After 750m, the derny peels off the track and a three-lap sprint begins.

    The top two progress in the opening round, with others going into a repechage.

  11. Track cycling - women's keirin first round

    Katie Falkingham
    BBC Sport in Paris

    Katy Marchant had her son, Arthur, in 2022, and has worked her way back to what she says is "physically the best" shape of her life.

    In January, she became the first British woman to be crowned European champion in the 500m time trial, and she's already an Olympic champion at these Games in the team sprint.

    She just missed out on an automatic spot in the quarter-finals there, but she will be back in the repechages a little later this afternoon.

  12. GB's Marchant misses out on automatic qualification

    Track cycling - women's keirin first round

    It's not the result Great Britain's Katy Marchant wanted as she finished third in her first-round race, meaning she doesn't qualify automatically.

    New Zealand's Ellesse Andrews and France's Mathilde Gros finished first and second despite Marchant's best efforts to throw her bike in front of them on the finish line.

    All hope isn't lost as Marchant will be back in the repechages from 14:10 BST.

  13. 'A good chance of gold'

    Now for those of you who only watch track cycling every Olympics, you might be trying to remember which race is the keirin? Let me help you out.

    The one with the motorbike.

    It's actually called a derny and is used to gradually bring the riders up to race pace before peeling off the track.

    Last night, after the crowds had gone home, they got it out for a few practice laps.

    Everyone needs to train!
