Katie Ledecky became the United States' most decorated female Olympian and France's Leon Marchand reached yet another final on a boisterous night of swimming in Paris.

The USA - with Ledecky swimming the third leg - claimed silver in the women's 4x200m relay in seven minutes 40.86 seconds at La Defense Arena.

It takes Ledecky's Olympic tally to 13 medals - eight golds, four silvers and one bronze.

The 27-year-old retained her 1500m freestyle title with impressive ease on Wednesday.

She also took 400m freestyle bronze and on Saturday will bid to secure yet another gold in the 800m freestyle.

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.

Great Britain's Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Rebecca Wilde held off a late charge from the Netherlands boat to win double sculls bronze at Paris 2024, and spoke to BBC 5 Live Breakfast after claiming their bronze medals.

Rebecca: "It's only settling in, it's been the most surreal 24 hours. It's been crazy."

Mathilda: "I think since we first got selected for the double, I knew how much potential we had and from our training camp, definitely had our eyes on a medal. I turned to Becky and said I'd be lying if I wasn't going after a medal."

Britain's Ben Proud was the fastest qualifier for Friday's men's 50m freestyle final.

Proud clocked 21.38secs to give himself an excellent chance of a first Olympic gold.

The 29-year-old has won world, European and Commonwealth gold in the discipline but has yet to secure an Olympic medal.

After eight medals in the last two days, Great Britain are sixth in the medal table and have a number of chances to add to their haul today.

First up, Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding - twice world silver medallists - go in the men’s 3m synchro diving at 10:00 BST.

Very soon afterwards, attention will switch to the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium for the rowing with the men's pair final at 10:30, in which Oliver Wynne-Griffith and Tom George are in the mix for Team GB before Emily Craig and Imogen Grant go in the lightweight women’s double sculls final at 11:22.

Two-time Olympic medallist Bryony Page will be hoping to add a third - and a first gold - when she competes in the trampoline gymnastics. Izzy Songhurst is also competing for GB. Qualifying is at 11:00 with the final at 12:50.

After yesterday's medal race was abandoned because of a sudden change in the wind direction, they will try again in the men's skiff at 12:13 with British sailors James Peters and Fynn Skerritt getting another chance to force their way into the medal positions.

It's over to Chateau de Versailles at 13:00 for the equestrian as Britain's Ben Maher, Harry Charles and Scott Brash compete in the team jumping final.

One medal is actually already guaranteed with Emma Wilson into the women's windsurfing final. She'll be going for gold from 14:33. In the men's event, Sam Sills goes in the quarter-final at 13:23.

Then this evening in the pool, Ben Proud is through to the men's 50m freestyle final. That's at 19:30 BST. That's followed by the women's 200m backstroke final with Katie Shanahan and Honey Osrin there for Team GB at 19:36.

That's not all in the swimming with Duncan Scott and Tom Dean both through to the men's 200m individual medley final at 19:43.

There could be even more still to come 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.

We knew it was coming, we knew it was coming for a while. Some people thought after he underwent hip resurfacing surgery in 2018, that he might never play at the top level again. Here we are in 2024, finally talking about the end of Andy Murray's career. It's going to be odd. Anything could happen and that was so special about him and what he did.

He loved everything about the sport. He loved the late nights, he loved the plane delays. Every fibre of his being was about tennis.

Italy's Angela Carini abandoned her Olympic bout against Algerian boxer Imane Khelif inside 46 seconds, saying: "I had to preserve my life."

Khelif is one of two athletes who have been cleared to compete in the women's boxing in Paris, having been disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships for failing to meet eligibility criteria.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) - which did not organise the World Championships but is running the boxing at Paris 2024 - said welterweight Khelif was disqualified in India because of elevated levels of testosterone.

Having received a bye in the first round at the Olympics, the 25-year-old - who also competed at the Tokyo Games - entered Arena Paris Nord on Thursday to much applause from the many Algerians in the crowd.

Andy Murray's illustrious career came to an end at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Here's what he said to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I gave as much as I could to the sport, I loved competing at the Olympic games and competing for my country. these weeks are so so special, I'll definitely miss them.

"I've done everything I could to prepare and get ready for it, for this event and I really wanted the Olympics to be my last one. I'm just grateful to Dan for agreeing to play and giving a great shot too. Obviously it would have been a fairy tale ending to have won a medal. It just wasn't to be. I'm proud to be part of team GB over the last 20 years, I will miss it."

I'm sure we're all still feeling a little emotional after watching Andy Murray's last ever tennis match last night, but we have a question for you.

With two Olympic gold medals and three Grand Slam titles in the era of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal; is Murray Britain's greatest ever athlete? If not, then who is?

Great Britain's former Olympic champion Joe Clarke missed out on a medal in the men's kayak single (K1) final at Paris 2024.

The 31-year-old world champion, who won gold on his Olympic debut at Rio 2016, placed fifth in 89.82 seconds to finish 1.6secs behind Italy's gold medallist Giovanni de Gennaro.

French 19-year-old Titouan Castryck won silver and Spain's Pau Echaniz took bronze.

Clarke, omitted from the team for the Tokyo Games three years ago, will now target gold in kayak cross - an event in which he is the three-time reigning world champion.

As the fastest qualifier, Clarke was the last to make his bid for gold in the final but, while he received no penalties, could not force his way on to the podium.

Clarke’s Olympic journey to Paris had been one of extremes, from the glorious heights of Rio 2016 to a painful Tokyo omission, and he placed his hands on his head after seeing confirmation that he had fallen short at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

Britain's first individual K1 gold medal winner at the age of 23 on his Olympic debut in Rio eight years ago, Clarke has since admitted that glorious moment may have arrived too early in his career.

Clarke was left considering his future in the sport after missing out on Tokyo but has been rewarded for his perseverance since, winning double world gold last year in the men's K1 and kayak cross events.

The Briton will now target Olympic kayak cross gold, having triumphed in that discipline at each of the past three World Championships.

However, the chaotic and unpredictable nature of that event, making its Olympic debut in Paris and which pits four athletes against each other on the course at the same time, means there are no guarantees Clarke's world domination will translate to success when that competition begins on Friday.

Gymnastics - women's all-around final

Simone Biles won the all-around gymnastics title for her second Olympic gold in Paris and sixth overall to cement her place back at the top of her sport with yet another sparkling slice of history.

The American, who won the title at Rio 2016 and had been favourite at Tokyo 2020 before she pulled out, became the oldest winner of her sport's blue-riband event for 72 years in front of another celebrity-studded crowd.

Brazil's Rebeca Andrade claimed silver at the Bercy Arena, with defending champion Sunisa Lee taking bronze.

The world's most decorated gymnast, Biles put on a sparkly goat necklace while celebrating - as if there was any doubt about her status as the GOAT (greatest of all time).

At the age of 27, she is the first gymnast to win non-consecutive all-around Olympic titles - a demonstration of her longevity in a gruelling sport traditionally dominated by teenagers.
