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.
- After yesterday's race walks, the athletics continues today with Morgan Lake, Josh Kerr and Dina Asher-Smith in heats this morning.

Two Olympic gold medals, two Wimbledon titles, a US Open victory and the hearts of many around the world.
It's fair to say Andy Murray has won an incredible amount in tennis.
Here's how he capped off his career on his X account, external last night: "Never even liked tennis anyway."
Never change Andy, never change.

'He is the greatest athlete we have ever had'published at 06:55 British Summer Time 2 August
BBC 5 Live Breakfast
Andy Murray's illustrious career came to an end at the Paris 2024 Olympics, after he and Dan Evans lost to US duo Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
Murray's fan Rebecca spoke to BBC 5 Live Breakfast about his retirement: "I cant get my head around the fact that I will never see him play again, I might actually need therapy. There is absolutely no question that he is the greatest athlete we have ever had.
"The only male to win consecutive gold medals, the two Wimbledons, the US Open. The fact that he has played on with a metal hip, his advocacy for women in sport. He is an incredible, incredible athlete and a brilliant representative of Great Britain. I'm just proud that I was there to see his last game."

Murray's career ends with Olympic defeatpublished at 06:50 British Summer Time 2 August
Tennis - Men's doubles - Fritz/Paul 6-2 6-4 Evans/Murray

BBC Sport at Roland Garros
British tennis icon Andy Murray's illustrious career ended with a straight-set defeat in the Olympic men's doubles quarter-finals.
Murray, the two-time Olympic champion, and Dan Evans lost 6-2 6-4 to American third seeds Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
Murray, 37, confirmed before the Paris Games that it would be his final event before retiring from the sport.
After a long hug with Evans at the baseline, Murray was visibly emotional at the noise created by the fans at Roland Garros chanting his name in loving appreciation.
Evans gently encouraged his team-mate to go into the centre of the court for one final time as he waved to all sides before disappearing to the locker room.
A fifth Olympics is the final juncture of a tumultuous journey which led Murray to three Grand Slam titles and the top of the world rankings.
