    We're 15km into the marathon now and the women are currently running up a hill and it looks ridiculously difficult, if I'm being honest with you.

    Credit to the spectator who has decided to run up the same hill. Rather you than me!

    France's Melody Julien still leads the way.

    Artistic swimming - duet

    Sonia Oxley
    BBC Sport in Paris

    Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe won Great Britain's first ever Olympic medal in artistic swimming and said their duet silver medal was worth all the "really hard times" they had gone through because of poor funding.

    The childhood friends, whose mothers also used to compete as a pair in the sport, performed their Rising Phoenix routine to score 294.5085 - for a combined total of 558.5367 in Paris.

    They looked stunned when they saw their names on top of the leaderboard with two teams still to compete, knowing they were guaranteed a medal.

    Asked by BBC Sport to describe how they were feeling, they replied - like their performance - in perfect unison: "On top of the world."

    Shortman then added: “I can’t even fathom it right now, can’t put it into words, it’s just an incredible dream come true really.”

    China's Liuyi Wang and Qianyi Wang took gold (566.4783) and the Netherlands' Bregje de Brouwer and Noortje de Brouwer won bronze (558.3963).

    I don't really fancy putting myself through the pain of running a marathon but it would be a great sightseeing opportunity.

    The route in Paris will take the runners past all of the sites - just a shame they don't have their phones on them to take a quick snap!

    What marathon do you think is the most beautiful to run? London? New York? Paris?

    I think the toughest parts of the course make it a leveller. I don't think anyone expected there being an Olympic record yesterday.

    The key is to stay calm and stay cool in the early stages of the race.

    Williams takes bronze for second medal of Gamespublished at 07:10 British Summer Time 11 August

    Men's 10m platform final

    Sonia Oxley
    BBC Sport in Paris

    Britain's Noah Williams pulled off a stunning final-round dive to take bronze in the men's 10m platform and win his second medal of the Paris Olympics.

    Errors by his rivals had opened up the podium positions going into the final round and Williams - who won10m synchro silverwith Tom Daley earlier in the Games - delivered a forward four and a half somersaults dive that scored 94.35 to give him a total of 497.35.

    Cao Yuan defended his title in convincing fashion (547.50) to give China a clean sweep of the diving gold medals, with Japanese 17-year-old Rikuto Tamai getting the silver (507.65).

    "It's literally a dream – I said that last time with synchro but individually winning a medal, doing it yourself, is a whole other level and I don't think it's sunk in because I'm nowhere near as emotional as last time," Williams told BBC Sport.
