    The British equestrian team's extraordinary performance was clear, even for those without a deep understanding of the sport. This is the Olympics at its finest: a celebration of athleticism that transcends expertise.

    We'll have the medal presentation ceremony here very shortly.

    I can see from my seat that the photographers have been positioned behind a lovely line of fake plants and shrubbery.

    They carted them in and positioned them around the course when I walking around earlier.

    Like walking through Ikea.

  7. Windsurfing finals postponedpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 2 August

    World Sailing have said today's windsurfing men's and women's finals have been postponed until tomorrow.

    Britain's Emma Wilson tops the women's windsurfing table, with Israel’s Sharon Kantor second and looks well placed for a medal.

    On Wednesday, the debut women's windsurfing marathon was abandoned as wind faded.

    The quarter-final, semi-final and final stages will now take place on Saturday.

    Fleetwood claims share of the leadpublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 2 August

    A long way to go of course, but Tommy Fleetwood grabs a share of the lead with birdies on the 13th and 14th.

    The British golfer's bogey-free round so far has included five birdies and an eagle, to leave him on 11 under par, level with Hideki Matsuyama and defending champion Xander Schauffele, who is already in the club house.

    Spare a thought for Tapio Pulkkanen, mind. The Finnish golfer was in the top 10 but dunked two shots into the drink on his approach to the 18th green and ended up finishing his round with a quintuple bogey nine.

    That sees him drop back from six under to one under overall in a tie for 38th place.

    The gates open. That is about the only certainty.

    There is the briefest moment of serenity before they do. A time for deep breaths to calm rapidly beating hearts as the adrenaline soars.

    Then, all hell breaks loose.

    What unfolds after the ramp-drop is dynamic disorder - a confused kaleidoscope of brightly coloured boats powered by paddles brandished frantically, tearing through unforgiving white water.

    It is brutal, full-contact, high-octane fun which, for good measure, demands competitors must also submerge themselves to complete a 360-degree boat roll.

    And, at the end of it all, Britain's Kimberley Woods is the kayak cross world champion.

    Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting, whose inclusion in Paris 2024 has sparked controversy after a reported to have failed a gender test last year, began the Games with victory.

    Lin, like Algerian Imane Khelif who progressed on Thursday, was banned by the International Boxing Association (IBA) but has been allowed to compete at the Olympics, which is run by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

    Lin entered the arena to cheers, which were followed by some boos, before beating Sitora Turdibekova by unanimous decision in the 57kg category.

    Afterwards the pair shook hands but Uzbekhistan's Turdibekova did not stop to speak to the broadcast media.

    Some of the major headlines so far today in Paris:

    • Team GB are up to nine golds, and third in the medal table, after winning the equestrian team jumping final. 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.
    • Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz has breezed into the Olympic men's singles final, beating Canadian 13th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1 6-1. He will play Serbian top seed Novak Djokovic or Italian 11th seed Lorenzo Musetti in Sunday's final. You can keep track of the tennis scores here.
    • Britain are on course for a medal in the women's windsurfing, where Emma Wilson currently leads. The final round was due to take place this afternoon, however a lack of wind means it has been postponed until tomorrow.

    And some events to look out for today:

    • The second round of the men's golf continues throughout this afternoon. GB's Tommy Fleetwood holds the joint lead on 11-under-par, alongside Xander Schauffele of USA and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama.
    • Teddy Riner, who lit the Olympic torch at the end of the opening ceremony, continues to compete in the men's over-100kg judo for France. The finals start at 17.09 BST.
    • This evening in the pool, Ben Proud is through to the men's 50m freestyle final. That's at 19:30 BST, followed by the women's 200m backstroke final with Katie Shanahan and Honey Osrin. Duncan Scott and Tom Dean then go in the men's 200m individual medley final at 19:43.
    • If Beth Shriever and Kye Whyte make it through their semi-finals in the BMX racing, the men's final is at 20:35 with the women's race to follow at 20:50 BST.
    • The first athletics gold medal to be competed for at Stade de France will be the men's 10,000m, which starts at 21.20 BST.

  12. Team GB can't stop winningpublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 2 August

    That is now nine gold medals for Great Britain.

    To put that into perspective, it's the same as the United States and three behind China.

    Spectacular stuff from Team GB.

    Ben Maher does what he always does - he delivers - and today was no exception. He set the tone, pure class, total professional, just another day at office for him.

    For me I'm so excited for Harry Charles, 25, his dad was on the gold medal winning team in London which I was lucky enough to witness and commentate on.

    He rode absolutely brilliantly today, his horse struggled a bit down the combination but that's one of the best bits of riding I've seen in a long time.

    We didn't really see this coming this week. We thought the Germans were invincible. We didn't think we could do this.

    An unbelievable result for us British, it's incredible the way they've all ridden.

    Harry Charles I've got to give him some special praise. How he got down the combination today I don't know, we expect it from the two older hands but Harry was brilliant.

    He's done it. Olympic gold in showjumping for Great Britain. What a stunning round from Scott Brash and Jefferson. That horse gave these fences fresh air. 1952 Helsinki team gold, 2012 in London and now 2024 in Paris.
