GB's Hudson-Smith takes silver in 400m thrillerpublished at 06:59 British Summer Time 8 August
Men's 400m final
Harry Poole
BBC Sport in Paris
Great Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith missed out on Olympic 400m gold by four-hundredths of a second in a dramatic finish at Paris 2024.
The 29-year-old improved his European record to 43.44 seconds but was pipped on the line by American Quincy Hall, who triumphed in a personal best 43.40 in a thrilling conclusion.
It was another agonising near-miss on a global stage for Hudson-Smith, who went within 0.09secs of the world title 12 months ago.
Hudson-Smith, who was favourite for gold as the fastest man in the world in 2024, becomes the first Briton to make the Olympic men's 400m podium in 28 years.

Inventive way of getting a drinkpublished at 06:56 British Summer Time 8 August
Women's 10km marathon swim
Well, this sure is a nifty way of giving your swimmer a drink!
A member of the team has a kind of fishing rod-type stick with a drink on the end of the it.
The swimmer then does a bit of backstroke, takes a sip and leaves the biodegradable bottle in the river.

Olympic dream over for Macdonaldpublished at 06:49 British Summer Time 8 August
Skateboarding - men's park heats

In a skateboarding event featuring some athletes not even in their teens, Andy Macdonald - who has been competing since 1994 - comes in at the other end of the scale.
The first man to skate at an Olympics for Team GB, the 51-year-old was roared on in Paris by sizable British support and skating royalty including Tony Hawk.
But while Macdonald did himself justice with three clean rounds, his best score of 77.66 was only enough for 18th place - the top eight qualifying for the final.
Not that it mattered to the yellow-helmeted Macdonald, who saluted the adoring crowd following his final run at La Concorde.

[Pollution] is something that has been on the athletes' minds. The shift in their mindset would have had to come in at some point and they lock in and concentrate on the race.
These are the opportunities when people can rise and perform at the Olympics.
