Ukraine's four-time world champion Olga Kharlan has beaten South Korea's Sebin Choi to win bronze in the women's sabre individual.

It is her fifth Olympic medal, following team gold and silver in 2008 and 2012 respectively, plus individual bronzes in 2012 and 2016.

But Kharlan very nearly didn't compete in Paris.

She was front page news after she was disqualified from the World Championships in 2023 for offering to tap blades instead of shaking hands with Russia’s Anna Smirnova. After a backlash, the International Fencing Federation reinstated her which allowed her to take part in the team competition.

IOC president Thomas Bach (a former fencer), wrote her a letter saying he would "allocate an additional quota place" to her if she could not qualify because of her "unique situation."

USA took the lead immediately from the second-half kick-off, Kristi Kirshe barrelling over the line.

GB have five minutes to save this one...

GB struck first with a swift passing move out to the right wing, Ellie Boatman running in to apply the finish. Lisa Thomson added the conversion with a fine kick from all the way on the touchline.

GB have had the bulk of the play, but a few handling errors prevented them from extending their advantage further - and they were punished as US co-captain Naya Tapper found space down the left to sprint in and score, although this effort was not converted.

USA then so nearly took the lead in additional time, but were denied by a magnificent saving tackle from Jasmine Joyce.

So there is still everything to play for...

I think a low 65 seconds will be enough to get a medal here, and Angharad Evans is well within reach of that.

If Oliver Morgan is going to get a medal here he's going to have to beat some of the best swimmers in the world. Thomas Ceccon is the world record holder, he absolutely obliterated it, and Ryan Murphy is backstroke royalty.

Oliver Morgan is struggling to keep the pace in this 100m backstroke final.

Great Britain beat Ireland and South Africa to get this far in the rugby sevens, either side of a heavy loss to Australia.

USA thumped Japan and Brazil, but were well beaten by France earlier today.

Both sides finished second in their groups, and look evenly matched. This could go either way.

And we are under way...

Oliver Morgan is featuring at his first Olympics and his hometown is firmly behind him.

Morgan, from Bishop's Castle in Shropshire, made his debut in the 100m backstroke heats on Saturday and there was a special event including a big screen to show his race.

A fan zone at Bishop’s Castle Community College opened at 09:00 BST and events ran throughout the day.

“It’s taken a lot of organising from a very small committee,” said town mayor Josh Dickin.

He said there would be a range of sports activities from local clubs, and fundraising to help refurbish the town’s swimming pool.

Morgan’s story demonstrated the importance of having swimming pools in rural communities, Mr Dickin added.

“It’s great to see somebody of his magnitude produced out of having swimming lessons at our local pool."

Oliver Morgan qualified for Paris 2024 by breaking the British 100m backstroke record.

He clocked a time of 52.70 seconds at the British Championships to better Liam Tannock's record from 2009.

Morgan has his work cut out in trying to win tonight's 100m backstroke final with Italy's Thomas Ceccon for company.

Ceccon set a world record time of 51.60 seconds at the 2022 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest.

Team GB's Freya Colbert speaking to BBC TV after finishing fourth in the 400m medley final: "I was really confident coming into this and felt like I was in a really good position to get a PB. With the way the meet had gone we knew it might be a case of who can get the hand on the wall first instead of the times we are swimming in. Today that just wasn't me."

On battling the two Americans in second and third: "Yes I could see them. I felt good to 300m and then I felt it because you have to give absolutely everything. Like I said today was just not the day."

On the events to come: "Yes really excited. I love swimming the relay and us girls are all really excited, trust in our training and all feel like we have got a lot to give. I was looking for a high on the first day of racing but I'll continue searching as we go through the week."

New Zealand are the reigning Olympic champions in women's rugby sevens - and have flexed their muscles at Stade de France.

They have run in nine tries in a hefty thrashing of China to qualify for the semi-finals, which take place tomorrow.

Next up in the quarter-finals tonight? Team GB, who take on USA as they look to finally win a rugby medal following consecutive fourth-place Olympic finishes.

Henry Brown: Get in Matt Richards. Fantastic silver medal in the pool. So agonisingly close to top spot. Future's very bright.

Team GB's Matt Richards speaking to BBC TV after winning silver in the men's 200m freestyle: "It seems that way [Team GB have the curse of the 0.02]. I can't be too disappointed with that. My first individual at an Olympic games so to come away with a silver is great. To be two one hundredths off gold is excruciatingly frustrating.

"Look, if anything it has added more fire to my belly. I've got a lot more to come this week, the 100m is tomorrow, the 4x100m is tomorrow too. It fuels me on for the rest of the week.

"Gutted for Duncan [Scott], myself and him in second and fourth, just missing out on the medal he deserves it more than anyone - that bodes really well for our 4x200m."

On being so close to gold: "I thought I had got it, it felt as if I had touched it first. The time says differently. It is not a sport that is up for debate, it is black and white. It wasn't my best finish, I would be lying if I said it was fantastic. We move on, we get better and try to get it next time."

At Stade de France, the first of the four women's rugby sevens quarter-finals tonight is about to begin.

New Zealand against China gets us under way imminently - followed by GB versus USA.

From 20:00 BST we will have some more basketball action for you, and it's a re-make of the Tokyo 2020 final as USA's women face Japan.

The USA squad combined have 15 Olympic gold medals and 18 Fiba Women’s World Cup titles, with all 12 players having either won an Olympic or World Cup gold medal.

They come into the Games protecting a 55-game unbeaten Olympic streak dating back to defeat to Russia in the 1992 semis, and have won nine out of the 12 Olympic golds on offer.

On the contrast, Japan only secured their first ever basketball Olympic medal with silver in Tokyo.
