    Superstars. Major winners. Big-name Brit. All in the hunt for an Olympic medal.

    Shaping up to be a cracker of a final round in the men’s golf event.

    This is the 18th green where, in less than five hours, someone will be celebrating clinching gold.

    Spain’s Jon Rahm leads alongside defending champion Xander Schauffele of the United States on 14 under, with Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood tucked one behind.

    Four shots behind the front runners are Rory McIlroy, representing Team Ireland, and American world number one Scottie Scheffler.

    You can’t rule them out of nabbing the gold.

    "I'm very, very excited to play. You look at the leaderboard, it is amazing," says Fleetwood.

    "It's like a leaderboard that you would expect at the Olympic and probably what the sport deserves."

    Women's 400m hurdles - round one

    BBC Sport in Paris

    Among the plethora of enticing showdowns and rivalries at Paris 2024, the women's 400m hurdles promises to be one of the real highlights.

    We will soon get a first look at the event's two superstars - in different heats - as American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol, of the Netherlands, take to the track.

    Bol, of course, anchored the Netherlands to a sensational gold in the mixed 4x400m relay last night, producing a remarkable sprint finish to lift her nation from third to first in the home straight.

    McLaughlin-Levrone and Bol have together run 17 of the 20 fastest women's 400m hurdles times in history, but defending champion and world record holder McLaughlin-Levrone will be the marginal favourite after improving her best time to 50.65secs in June.

    A world record showdown for gold is anticipated should both safely make it through the rounds.

    We were supposed to get under way with the first ever Olympic kitesurfing competition this morning, but the start has been delayed until 12.00 BST at the earliest.

    There is GB interest in both events - Connor Bainbridge in the men's kite, Eleanor Aldridge in the women's - and we will let you know how they get on once they're finally on the water.

    The leaders are starting to make their way to the first tee…

    Rory McIlroy, playing for Team Ireland, is stepping out now and will be followed by Team GB’s Tommy Fleetwood in the next 15 minutes.

    The first tee is rammed, as you can imagine, although IOC President Thomas Bach has found a prime viewing point on the bridge which brings over the players.

    The locals warm up their vocal cords with a chant of ‘Tommy, Tommy, Tommy’. We will hear more of that for Fleetwood, of course

    Wonder if Bach got that adulation in his fencing days?

    Easy as you like from world champion Grant Holloway. He cruises through in 13.01 seconds, a good few metres clear of Jamaica's Rasheed Broadbell in second and there are big cheers for France's Sasha Zhoya who qualifies in third.

    That means Great Britain's Tade Ojora goes through as a fastest loser and defending champion Hansle Parchment also scrapes through without needing the repechage rounds, which will be a huge relief.

    GB men's hockey captain David Ames, speaking after his side's quarter-final defeat: "We had enough chances and opportunities to win the game. Credit to India, they went down to 10 players, sat deep and their goalkeeper played amazingly well.

    "It is a huge opportunity missed. It is going to string for a long time.

    "That is me finished as well. Not the nicest way to go out, I am very proud to have been part of this journey and this team is going to be around for a very long time.

    "We worked so hard to be in this environment, it is hard to describe when you aren't in it. The sacrifice and everything you do to be in it. I am very proud for the boys involved.

    "This is my third Olympic Games and I am looking forward to a change of scenery and life, with some rest for my body.

    "I pinch myself that I have been able to compete at an Olympics."

    Another pretty scrappy race, and GB's Tade Ojora recovers well after clattering into the first hurdle to finish fourth in 13.35 seconds. There are three fastest loser spots so he may not need the repechage, depending on times from the final heat.

    Jason Joseph of Switzerland wins it in 13.26.

    Big shock!

    Defending Olympic champion Hansle Parchment will be relying on the repechage rounds to book himself a place in the semi-finals of the men's 110m hurdles.

    He finished fifth in his heat with a time of 13.43 seconds, with China's Zhuoyi Xu winning a very, very tight race in 13.40.

    She’s done really well to the music and to the horse - I give credit to him as he can be quite tricky. He’s really appreciating the crowd getting behind him. Apart from the little tension in the walk, he’s done really well.

    That was technically difficult performance.

    Lovely stuff from Becky Moody and Jagerbomb. Union Jacks flutter in the crowd as she waves to all corners of this impressive arena.

    Her score is 84.357% - that puts her second behind team-mate Carl Hester in the standings.

    A fun soundtrack too, featuring a mix of Tom Jones tracks. 'It's Not Unusual' gets us started, a bit of 'Sex Bomb' thrown in there too.

    Becky Moody enters the arena for her first individual Olympic final. She’s on Jagerbomb - a name that makes me smile every time I write it.

    Moody has had quite the fortnight, promoted from alternate into the team to replace Charlotte Dujardin.

    She said yesterday: "Two weeks ago I was expecting to come for a lovely 10-day holiday in France, to be inspired, learn, and go home better.

    "Having to do this, there's been a bit of nausea but it's been an amazing experience with an incredible team around me."

    She’s clearly loving the experience of her maiden Olympics though, a great big smile constantly plastered on her face. Let’s see what she and Jagerbomb can do here.

    Sreejesh has proven why he is the world's best goalkeeper. He was outstanding for his side today. He earned them their place in the semi-final.

    I think, had it been 11 players on 11 players, it would have been a really open game. I think we would have seen both teams going at each other with more chances and space.

    Craig Fulton deserves a lot of credit because, after the red card, he went and set them up in a really excellent, tight manner.

    At this stage of the 200m competition it is a marathon as much as a sprint - especially coming immediately off the back of the 100m competition.

    No spectacular times, but all the heavyweights of the event getting safely through to the semi-finals on Monday without expending too much energy.

    That includes Dina Asher-Smith, the 2019 world champion, who avoids any complications in her heat and gives herself a nod of approval after seeing her time appear on the big screen.

    That will feel much better after the disappointment of yesterday. With Shericka Jackson out of the equation, there is another huge opportunity for the British women in this event.

    Fun fact about Carl Hester - he’s having a film made about him!

    ‘Stride’ will tell the story of his life from growing up in a single parent family on the Channel Island of Sark to becoming “arguably the greatest dressage rider, trainer and owner of all time”, climaxing at the London 2012 Olympics where Team GB won team dressage gold.

    Twelve years on, he and Fame have just scored a massive 85.161% to go top of the standings, with nine riders still to come. Fantastic job.

    India were against everything, against all the odds, against what they will feel is the whole world.

    After that red card, they had to defend for 40 minutes. They have been composed, professional and ice-cold in a situation where we thought they might get pulled apart.

    Great Britain faced a blue wall that they could not break and the energy was in India's favour - Sreejesh does what Sreejesh does. He was the difference!
