Team GB picked up six medals, including two gold, today across swimming, equestrian, mountain biking, canoe slalom and diving.

The first gold came as GB defended the team eventing title they won at the delayed Tokyo Games in 2021 before Tom Pidcock overcame a puncture to pull off a miraculous comeback and take gold in the men's mountain biking.

You can tune into Tonight at the Games on BBC One at 22:40 BST to catch up with all the main highlights from day two.

Don't forget, we will be back at 06:30 BST sharp tomorrow morning to do it all over again!

See you then.

Gold medal events: 14

Artistic gymnastics (women's team final), fencing (women's epee team), judo (women's -63kg, men's -81 kg), rugby sevens (women's), shooting (mixed team 10m air pistol, men's trap), surfing (men's and women's), swimming (women's 100m back, men's 800m free, men's 4x200m free relay), table tennis (mixed doubles), triathlon (men's individual).

Highlights

Organisers are confident the men's triathlon will go ahead from 07:00 BST despite pollution concerns in the River Seine - a final decision will be made in the hours beforehand. Competitors start from the Pont Alexandre III bridge in view of the Eiffel Tower, swim 1,500m in the Seine then run up a set of steps to start the 40km bike course, which includes some cobbled stretches. Lastly, there is a 10km run.

It promises to be a spectacular and challenging event, even by Olympic triathlon standards, and GB’s Alex Yee will hope to be at the front of the action in the men's event. Yee won Olympic silver in a pulsating Tokyo contest three years ago. Norwegian Kristian Blummenfelt, who pulled past Yee to win gold that day, is back but has since moved up to Ironman distance then back down again, and it remains to be seen if he will master that transition.

Women’s team gymnastics is one of the Olympics’ worldwide blockbuster events. The United States will expect one of its largest TV audiences of the Games for Simone Biles and compatriots in Tuesday’s final, which begins at 17:15. Becky Downie, back in the British team for a third Olympics, is tasked with helping to steer GB towards a podium finish. The women’s team event is intensely competitive right now, and any of six or seven nations could take a medal, with the absence of Russian athletes also opening up the contest.

There is lots going on in swimming's evening session. Team GB have a real chance of gold in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay, having won the Olympic title in Tokyo and the world title in 2023. Tom Dean, James Guy, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott are all veterans of both victories and are in the line-up. The relay starts at 20:59. The women’s 100m backstroke at 19:57 is expected to feature Australia’s Kaylee McKeown, a three-time champion in Tokyo, against the likes of American Regan Smith and Canada’s Kylie Masse.

If like us you can't get enough of the Olympics then check the Grassroots to Glory podcast with pole vaulter Holly Bradshaw.

She heads to her fourth Olympics after aa difficult few years with injury, illness and the loss of her father. Her experiences are making her look at these games differently.

The Olympic medal table is fascinating after day three of competition - and much healthier looking from a British perspective.

Victory in the men's team gymnastics today means Japan lead the way as the only nation with six golds so far. They are narrowly ahead of hosts France, who are enjoying a strong Games so far.

There is an Australasian flavour to the top of the table, with China, Australia and South Korea rounding out the top five.

You may notice a major absence from this graphic - the USA have accrued 20 medals so far, more than any other country, but only three golds. That leaves them sixth in the overall table.

Great Britain meanwhile leap from 13th to seventh, thanks to their first two golds of the Games coming today in equestrian and mountain biking.

Olympics fever grips us all in different ways. For amateur cyclist Matt Christie, today's dose took the form of an epic 14-hour, 84-mile bike ride around north-west London. And it was all in the name of art, with Matt's post-ride route map resembling the iconic Olympic rings.

"It was hard work, turning every 100 yards for 85 miles! That's about 2000 turns and my route-planner app made zero sense, taking me through fields, uncyclable woods, alleys with steps and the wrong way down one-way streets.

"I thought I'd be home by 12:30pm... it actually took me until after 7pm. But look, I made a picture!"

Some effort that, Matt!

Italy's Thomas Ceccon now has four Olympic medals to his name but this is the first time he has worn a gold one around his neck.

Perhaps inspired by seeing Tom Daley earlier, Matt Richards says he's keen to get to five Olympic Games.

He's only 21 but he's been to two already - and tonight won his second medal.

He says he's frustrated to miss out on gold by 0.02 seconds, but believes it will all add fuel to the fire for his events over the rest of the week.

Team GB's Ollie Morgan speaking to BBC TV after finishing eighth in the men's 100m backstroke final: "I'm coming away with eighth in the Olympics and I am slightly disappointed with myself so it shows how far we've come. There is a lot more to come in the future."

On if the experience makes him hungrier for more: "My whole ethos around training and competing is enjoyment, which is what we have said all along. Turning up to training, having fun, pushing yourself, pushing those around you. We have a really good environment and it is really exciting to see what we can do [in the future]."

Great Britain's first gold medal at the Paris 2024 Games was sealed earlier today.

British boxer Delicious Orie speaking to 5 Live's boxing analyst Steve Bunce following his defeat by Davit Chaloyan:

“I think I did just enough to win, but you can make an argument for Chaloyan I guess, but I need to watch it back.”

“He was a little bit busier in the third round, he scored the more eye-catching shots, the ones I shouldn’t have let through my guard but it happened.

“The escalation has been great but unfortunately it’s come to a hard stop in my amateur career, it’s something I’m going to have to hold for the rest of my life. At the moment I feel like it’s breaking me but in a few years I can be a mature enough individual to look back and think I gave it my all.”

Under pressure because of Team GB defeats?

“I guess I’ve been under a bit of pressure but that wasn’t the reason for what happened today, I just let a few stupid shots in that I shouldn’t have and that was it. He’s a good level but I should be beating that type of level to achieve the things if I want to achieve.”

How did he feel?

“I’ve let everybody down, I’ve let Great Britain down, I’m really upset. I just have to lick my wounds and carry on I guess."

Mona McSharry doesn't know whether to laugh, cry, celebrate or throw herself at every Irish flag in the arena (and there's a lot of them).

I think she's settled on a combination of all of everything.

Either way, I don't think that smile will be coming off her face for a long time to come.

That's what it means to win an Olympic medal.

There could be more to come tomorrow too, as world champion Daniel Wiffen goes in the 800m freestyle final.

An Australian one-two to close out the night in the pool with Mollie O'Callaghan taking gold and Ariarne Titmus in second.

More drama at Stade de France, where a last-minute try for Canada has eliminated hosts France.

The French women were eyeing a medal after the men's rugby sevens team won gold on the opening day with a phenomenal victory over previous champions Fiji - but it was not to be.

A forward pass in the final move of the game in overtime sees the final whistle blown on France's campaign, to stunned silence in Paris.

Canada will face the winner of Australia v Ireland, the last quarter-final which is about to get under way.

Gymnastics - men's team final

Great Britain came fourth and missed out on a medal in the Olympic men's team gymnastics despite some strong performances in Paris in a thrilling final where Japan pipped China to gold in a dramatic ending.

China threw away a comfortable lead when Su Weide came off the high bar twice in the final rotation and Japan took full advantage.

Team GB's Matt Richards speaking to BBC TV after winning silver in the men's 200m freestyle: "I misjudged the semi-final a bit last night so I was in lane one and being out there means I was a little bit out of the race. I had to swim it purely on my own, it can be an advantage but sometimes it means you just miss out.

"I am still young, just 21 and I have a lot of time to go in the sport. I want another ten years before I even think about hanging the goggles up. It is all good learning and good experience and we take it forward into the rest of the week."

On family watching on: "It is really special knowing that they are in the crowd. It is not an easy sport, it can be lonely sometimes. So to know they are here with me to support is so special. I always hear my dad shout, 'Let's go Matty!' All those little things make it that more special."

It doesn't get much tighter than 0.02 seconds.

That was the difference between silver and gold for Team GBs Matt Richards.

One thing you might have noticed before each event at these Olympics is someone coming into the arena/court/field of play, and banging a large staff on the floor a number of times, directly before the sport begins.

This is inspired by a French theatrical tradition, called "les trois coups", or the three blows, in which a staff called a "brigadier" is thumped on the floor of the stage in order to attract audience attention and call for calm before the play begins.

Now you know.

It is hard when you race teammates because you train with them every day so you know their style inside and out, you know every strength and weakness.
