Gold Medal - McLaughlin-Levronepublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 8 August
Athletics - women's 400m hurdles final
Wow! That was a stunning race from the American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone!
The Tokyo 2020 champion was well clear of the field by the time she reached the straight and as she crosses the line to take the gold medal, she also secures a new world record - 50.37 seconds!
Femke Bol looks gutted with her performance. The Dutch athlete finishes with a bronze medal, and Anna Cockrell adds to the US tally with a silver.

Harry Poole
BBC Sport in Paris
I'm wary of over-hyping this final. But, honestly, this could, and should, be pretty epic.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol are rarely ever seen on the track at the same time.
They are the two standout athletes of this generation in the event, and all-time. Fans have been waiting an awful long time to witness this showdown.
Half of the Netherlands are here to support Bol as she attempts to take down the world record holder.

Roland Garros remains a boxing venue rather than tennis for another three nights.
With the crowds wandering in, there are different activity stations for those with lucky tickets to have a go on.
Some of the punches thrown have been fierce!

Athletics - women's heptathlon
It perhaps wasn't as rapid a 200m for Katarina Johnson-Thompson, but she'll end the opening day of the heptathlon competition at the top of the leaderboard with a 48-point lead over nearest rival Nafissatou Thiam in second place.
USA's Anna Hall is sitting in third place, 99 points adrift of the Great Britain heptathlete.

BBC Radio 5 Live
Alison Curbishley on Great Britain's Katerina Johnson-Thompson's women's heptathlon 200m race:
She ran a great turn and it was just in those later stages where she started to tire out a little bit but certainly a fantastic bend.

Colin Jackson
Two-time world 110m hurdles champion on BBC TV
Here she worked hard around the bend.
I feel then potentially she could have had a little bit of pressure on her knowing what her capabilities are and knowing what was available if she could just nail it right.
There's nothing wrong with this at all. Kat has still got to keep her belief in what she can achieve.

Basketball - men's semi-final
BBC Radio 5 Live
Basketball analyst Mo Mooncey speaks to 5 Live about team USA: "Winning the Olympic gold is a point of pride for team USA because ever since 1992 when the dream team went to the Olympics - the first year that professional players were allowed to compete - the USA won the gold every single year apart from 2004.
"Nobody wants to go down in history as the team who didn't win it."

BBC Sport at Bercy Arena
NBA has arrived in Paris - kind of.
This US roster is something else and the atmosphere is matching it.
Bercy Arena has turned into Madison Square Garden.
Each superstar is roared out onto the court, starting with Serbia stars Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic, followed by Steph Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Oh, that turns when Joel Embiid arrives.
The Cameroon-born centre infamously flirted with playing for France, even going as far as committing to getting nationality.
Then he ditched Les Bleus for the US. The locals haven't forgotten.

Noah Lyles might have been surprised by that result. Heck, even we didn't expect it. But BBC Sport Africa were not surprised - they've been tracking Letsile Tebogo's story since he won World silver last year. Have a read of his back story here.
