Canada's Summer McIntosh and America's Katie Grimes are first and second respectively and boast a huge lead after 200m.

Freya Colbert's position as reigning world champion is slightly misleading because many of her big rivals did not compete.

She is a very strong freestyler so expect her to come through on the final leg.

It's about staying in touch until then.

It is one of the most painful events. Tactically you have to be on your game but physically it hurts so much. Starting on butterfly you are tired, backstroke your legs kill, breaststroke, well I just went backwards. Then by the time that you are on front crawl you just want to swim down.

Freya Colbert and Katie Shanahan are the two British hopes eyeing a medal in this final.

Ireland's Ellen Walshe has just made her walk to the side of the pool and is welcomed by some fans waving the the tricolour.

Can anyone prevent world record holder Summer McIntosh of Canada from taking gold?

It just goes in peaks and troughs. We were hit really hard by Covid, whereas Australia and America for example have more outdoor training pools. We've got some good younger swimmers coming through.

Watch how Freya Colbert and Katie Shanahan made it into the final of the women's 400m individual medley.

I don't know if it's just me, or whether it's the absence of home favourite Leon Marchand who created a raucous atmosphere last night, but it feels a bit quieter in La Defense tonight.

Summer McIntosh may not be a name many know but she could ramp it up.

The 17-year-old Canadian is 10 seconds faster than anyone in the world this year in the 400m medley and broke the world record in 2023.

Can Britain's world champion Freya Colbert or Katie Shanahan keep up in the this first race for gold?

It has already been a hugely successful day for Team GB with a loot of five medals... so far.

We'll be up and running with the swimming shortly and there are plenty of Brits in medal contention.

Here's what is to come over the next hour or so:

Swimming

• Women's 400m individual medley final - 19:30 (Freya Colbert and Katie Shanahan)
• Men's 200m freestyle final - 19:40 (Matthew Richards and Duncan Scott)
• Men's 100m backstroke final - 20:19 (Oliver Morgan)
• Women's 100m breaststroke final - 20:25 (Angharad Evans)

London 2012 bronze medallist on BBC TV

Team GB can be very proud of themselves. It is 18 routines that we are asking for, which is tough. It was not down to one error, they were a couple of marks behind in the end. It was always going to be a tough challenge to get a medal and they have still got lots of individual and the women's final to come.

Slightly awkward moment after the first fight when a visibly upset Donjeta Sakidu tried to storm out of the arena with a towel over her head.

She was meant to let her opponent - and the winner - Angie Paola Valdes Pana leave first, which meant two men desperately tried to stop her as she walked out.

She was having none of it. Still, the Colombia support team in front of me were delighted with their athletes effort.

The lights have gone out at La Defense Arena which means it's almost time for tonight's swimming.

Great Britain's big two chances of medals are in the first two races.

First Freya Colbert looks to get herself on the podium in the 400m medley. That will be tough.

Then Duncan Scott, who has six Olympic medals but no individual gold, enters the 200m freestyle as the second-fastest swimmer. Matt Richards will be in lane one too.

• Laura Collett, Tom McEwan and Ros Canter won team eventing gold - GBs first at Paris 202 - and Collett later took individual bronze.
• Adam Burgess claimed Olympic silver in the men's canoe singles final - GB’s fifth medal of the day.
• Tom Daley and Noah Williams won men's synchronised 10m platform silver - Daley’s fifth Olympic medal.
• Max Whitlock, Jake Jarman and the rest of GB's men finished an agonising fourth in the team gymnastics.

• Adam Peaty tested positive for Covid-19 hours after winning men's 100m breaststroke silver, but hopes to be fit for the relay events later in the week.
• Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal 6-1 6-4 in men's singles second round while GB’s Dan Evans was knocked out.

The top three teams performed out of their skin, it just wasn't quite good enough from Team GB today. The USA have often come to games and had near misses but they won bronze at the World Championships and have matched that here. They raised the bar from qualification to the final.

Great Britain have finished fourth and narrowly missed out on a bronze medal by two points.

The USA's pommel display in the final rotation was enough for them to keep their bronze positioning and hold off GB.

He has just produced a 14.966 point routine on the floor and Great Britain are into third.

This is going to go down to the wire. What a fantastic final we are witnessing.

The tension in this arena is unbearable. USA are celebrating - they think they've won a medal. Japan are celebrating - they think they've pipped China at the death. And China, who may have just thrown it all away, still have one gymnast to perform on high bar.

China's Weide Su has scored 11.6 for that performance, which is far off his qualification score of 14.4.

Elsewhere, the USA show no sign of faltering on the pommel and they look set for another Olympic team medal.

It just shows what the pressure is for everyone here. There was a slight moment at the start where Weide Su almost put his hand on the bar incorrectly.

He did the very difficult moves but he did not get the grip twice and he fell. That could be really quite costly for China.

Such drama here. This is true sport at it's very best. So unpredictable.
