  9. What happened on day seven?published at 21:51 British Summer Time 2 August

    Plenty of action yet again on a golden day for Team GB - here are the highlights

    • French superstar Leon Marchand made it four golds in Paris after winning the 200m individual medley, with silver medals in the pool for GB's Duncan Scott and Ben Proud
    • Team GB are fifth in the medal table with nine golds after another medal-packed day
    • There was drama on the BMX track as France took a 1-2-3 in the men's race before GB's defending champion Beth Schriever missed out in the women's race after dominating the heats
    • Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz will face Serbian top seed Novak Djokovic in the men's tennis final after both came through their semi-finals.
    • GB won the equestrian team jumping final as Scott Brash completed a nerveless circuit on Jefferson, following team-mates Harry Charles on Romeo 88 and Ben Maher on Dallas Vegas Batilly.
    • Bryony Page won a silver medal at Rio 2016 and a bronze at Tokyo 2020. In Paris, she has completed the set with a phenomenal final score of 56.480 to win trampolining gold.
    • Three years ago, Emily Craig and Imogen Grant missed out on a medal by 0.01 seconds in Tokyo. Today in Paris, they are Olympic champions after a dominant performance in the women's lightweight double sculls.
    • But it was so near but yet so far for Ollie Wynne-Griffiths and Tom George in the men's pairs, as they took a significant early lead only to be caught near the line by Croatian brothers Martin and Valent Sinkovic and had to settle for silver.
    • There was bronze in the diving for British pair Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher in the men's synchro 3m springboard - the fourth successive medal won in the diving pool by Team GB out of four finals so far at Paris 2024.
    • There was athletics action, with gold medal hope Keely Hodgkinson cruising into the 800m semi-finals along with Jemma Reekie and Phoebe Gill also qualifying, along with Daryll Neita, Dina Asher-Smith and Imani-Lara Lansiquot made it through in the 100m heats.

    It was shades of Mo Farah wasn't it. Joshua Cheptegui just get at the back, he didn't get involved. Kejelcha in front was like a concertina trying to make the race quick and then was thinking I'm not going to do all the hard work, so he slows it back down.

    And then Cheptegui just emerges with three laps to go just like we used to see Mo Farah do.

    Cheptegui hit the front with five hundred metres to go and he didn't let go of the rail.
