    Hosts France won bronze at Tokyo 2020 and silver at London 2020 - they are hoping to complete the set by claiming gold on home soil.

    It's all going according to plan at the moment with the hosts leading Olympic debutants Germany 33-45 at the end of the second quarter.

    France's Marine Johannes is the leading scorer with 12.

    The winner of this quarter-final will meet Belgium in the semi-finals on Friday.

  2. Turnbull's second chance

    Track cycling - men's sprint 1/16 finals repechages

    Next up in the velodrome it is back to the men's sprint 1/16 finals and we have four repechage races for the eight riders who lost earlier on.

    Race two sees Britain's Hamish Turnbull take on Vasilijus Lendel of Lithuania, looking to join fellow Briton Jack Carlin in the 1/8 finals round.

  3. 'Not sure what happened with the saddle'

    I am slightly confused more than anything because I don't think we have ever seen that happen before. I'm not sure what happened with the saddle.

    Hayter did literally just slip off the front of it but he is not in a very comfortable position there so I don't see why he did not just sit back onto it.

  4. 'Classic Olympic track racing'

    Australia back at the top of the Olympic podium for the first time in 20 years. So much goes into this and you can see what it means. So near yet so far for Great Britain, but it wasn't meant to be. Britain take silver but it was nearly so much more. Classic Olympic track racing.

  5. 'They gave it their best shot'

    Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Olympic cycling gold medalist on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A fraction of a second, a blink of an eye, a small loss of concentration or balance.

    Ethan Hayter has to accept it and move on. It will be difficult. This is the cruel side of entertainment being in sport but ultimately they gave it their best shot and the rest is out of your hands in some ways.

  6. 'So close for Great Britain'

    Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    Team GB were two tenths adrift and Ethan Hayter just pulled himself off the front of the bike and his legs gave way. He was lucky not to crash.

    That [race] is what you want to see, absolutely everything given. They weren't expected to win that one but they pushed the Australians all the way. That is the best they have ridden for the whole competition and they got so close.

  7. Gold Medal - Australia, GB win silver
    Breaking

    Track cycling - men's team pursuit final

    Australia held a narrow advantage throughout the race with only two tenths of a second in it with 625 metres to go, but an error from Ethan Hayter, nearly hitting the barrier late on, ends Great Britain's chances of clawing the deficit back.

    The quartet of Hayter, Charlie Tanfield, Ethan Vernon and Daniel Bigham (along with Oliver Wood who didn't race in the final) have to settle for silvers.

    Gold for Australia.

  8. Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    It is going to go down to the wire. Anyone makes a mistake and that will make the difference.

  9. Track cycling - men's team pursuit final

    Australia lead by two tenths at 3,375m. GB need a strong finish to get gold.

  10. Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    No room for error now. Time taken on the third man. You have to watch your weakest rider, because the time is taken on that last man.

  11. Track cycling - men's team pursuit final

    Great Britain are three tenths of a second down at 2,750m of a 4,000m race.

  12. Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Victoria Pendleton
    Olympic cycling gold medalist on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There is a thousandth of a second between the two teams.

    They are very, very closely matched.

  13. Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    Both of these teams are absolutely at their max. This is the most they have got to give. It is going to be close.

  14. Track cycling - men's team pursuit final

    Australia lead just, by 0.068 seconds at 1,625m. So, so close.

  15. Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Simon Brotherton
    Commentator on BBC TV

    Fractions between the two teams thus far.

  16. Track cycling - men's team pursuit final

    Australia with an advantage of only 0.009 seconds at 500m.

  17. Track cycling - men's team pursuit final

    Katie Falkingham
    BBC Sport in Paris

    There are definitely more Brits in this velodrome than Aussies.

    Huge cheers as the riders' names are read out.

    Here we go.

  18. Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Here we go, who will get the gold - Great Britain or Australia? This race is contested over 4,000 metres.

  19. 'GB have nothing to lose'

    Track cycling - men's team pursuit, gold race

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    One mistake and everything changes. I think that is what it will take to split the teams, who makes a mistake first. If no one makes a mistake, then I think Australia will take it.

    Team GB have nothing to lose. They are the marginal underdog here but they know the worst they can achieve is silver.

  20. 'Consistency is the only thing you need'

    Track cycling - men's team pursuit, bronze race

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    3.44 is a quick time from Italy. They rode beautifully, only slightly slower from their previous ride. Sometimes consistency is the only thing you need.

    Denmark never fail to entertain but you never quite know what you are going to get from them. A world record or a complete explosion.
