    Decathlon - 100m

    Chants of "Allez Les Bleus" go up around the Stade de France with Frenchman Makenson Gletty lining up in the second heat.

    It's a very close race with Team USA's Harrison Williams taking it in 10.62, ahead of Estonia's Johannes Erm and Rik Taam of the Netherlands.

    One of the medal favourites, Leo Neugebauer of Germany was fifth but in a decent time of 10.67 - that would have seen him win heat one.

    Gletty was seventh in 10.72.

    Rooth really exploded out of the blocks. What I loved about it, he's in the outside lane so he can truly focus on his own job.

    He knows he's in good shape physically and he's building through this competition well.

    To be rewarded with that 10.71 start, he was so happy with that.

    What a stunning setting this is for the days of athletics drama ahead of us.

    I took this photo shortly after arriving at the Stade de France but I can assure you that the stands have filled up since then and it's a great turnout for the first morning session.

    Decathlon 100m kicks off track and field events in Parispublished at 09:04 British Summer Time 2 August

    BBC One

    A week into these Olympic Games and it is time for the athletics to start. Well, they actually started yesterday with the men's and women's 20km walk races but the track and field begins today!

    It's a highly-anticipated moment at any Olympics and this is no different.

    It starts with the 100m in the decathlon. A certain Daley Thompson has been getting plenty of mentions in regards to Britain's greatest sportsperson but there will be no repeat of his heroics at the 1980 and 1984 Games because is no Team GB athlete in the decathlon in Paris.

    Defending champion Damian Warner is there to defend his title, though. He set a decathlon world record of 10.12 in the 100m in Tokyo and goes in the third heat.

    Leo Neugebauer of Germany has the world lead this year, he is in heat two. Home favourite Kevin Mayer is sadly missing out because of a hamstring injury.

    Heat one is just moments away. Watch it now on BBC One.

  8. What happened yesterday and what is to come on day seven?published at 09:00 British Summer Time 2 August

    Some of the major headlines from yesterday in Paris:

    • Simone Biles made history as the first women to reclaim the Olympic all-around title, having first won it in 2016 at the Rio Games. The 27-year-old American is the oldest woman to win the event for 72 years.
    • Andy Murray, 37, one of Britain's sporting greats, was unable to deliver a medal-winning swansong as he and Dan Evans lost 6-2 6-4 to US pair Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz in the men's doubles quarter-finals.
    • Team GB missed out on the rowing gold they craved but added three more medals at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.
    • Algerian boxer Imane Khelif reached the quarter-finals of the women's 66kg as opponent Angela Carini abandoned their bout after 46 seconds. Khelif is one of two women cleared to compete in the boxing in Paris, having been disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships for failing to meet eligibility criteria - a decision the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has criticised as "arbitrary".

    And some events to look out for today:

    • Team GB will aim to win a medal in a fourth consecutive diving final in Paris when Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher compete in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard final from 10.00 BST.
    • From 10.30 BST there are four rowing finals - the men's and women's pairs, and the men's and women's lightweight double sculls. Great Britain’s Tom George and Ollie Wynne-Griffith are first up in the men's pair final.
    • Two-time Olympic medallist Bryony Page of Team GB begins her bid for gold in the trampolining at 11.00 BST, with the final at 12.50 BST.
    • Athletics continues with GB high jumper Morgan Lake (09:15), 1500m runner Josh Kerr (10:05) and Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita (100m, 10:50) in qualifying this morning.
    • Britain are on course for a medal in the women's windsurfing, where Emma Wilson currently leads. The final stages of that competition take place from 14.30 BST today.

    You can only rank a sportsperson by their honours. Not by the emotions they gave you whilst playing. Andy Murray's name cannot be above Chris Hoy, Phil Taylor, Lennox Lewis or Tony McCoy.

    What a career. What special times he’s given us.

    It’s the emotions you have, the adrenaline, the highs, the lows you don’t get it in your life as a mere mortal when you’re no longer an athlete and that’s what he’s been fighting so hard to keep and experience again.

    He’s been so involved in British tennis in terms of his friendships, training at the national tennis centre, setting the bar in terms of work ethic, commitment, what real sacrifice is, the dedication, leaving no stone unturned. It drips down and he’s just been an example for so many British athletes, not only in tennis.

    He won on Centre Court against Roger Federer, in straight sets, you tell me that's not a Grand Slam performance.

    He's certainly up there [as the greatest British sportsperson]. The way he did all of that, some of the most torturous sporting moments any of us have lived through - I'm going to miss that.

    Keep your suggestions coming for Britain's greatest sportsperson. So far, we're a long way from consensus but then that should come as no surprise...

    BBC Radio 1 presenter and host of the Tailenders podcast Greg James weighed in with his opinion last night, writing on X:

    "It’s going to be awful having to watch tennis and not feel sick to your stomach isn’t it. Thank you Andy Murray - it’s been, at times, a complete nightmare but I wouldn’t change any of it. I don’t even want to debate it, he’s our greatest ever sportsperson."

    Unlike Greg, we're happy to have the debate...
