Defending champion Ivan Litvinovich has just soared to victory in this final - his 63.090 beat China's Wang Zisai by more than a point. Another Chinese athlete Yan Langyu is third and GB's Zak Perzamanos is in the worst place of fourth.

Novak Djokovic is one set away from the men's singles final.

The Serbian, who has never won an Olympic singles gold medal, has just broken Italian Lorenzo Musetti to take the first set at Roland Garros 6-4.

The winner of this tie will take on Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz after the Spaniard thrashed Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1 6-1 in his semi-final.

It was textbook. Shriever led from the start. So dominant and no one could really keep up.

Well the defending champion Bethany Shriever is looking in absolutely superb form here.

She finished first in all three of her quarter-final races last night and it's another first-place finish in her semi-final. She's so far out ahead the gap between her and the rest is huge!

Shriever broke her collarbone earlier this year at the world championships and it was a race to be fit enough to compete in Paris.

But she's here and she looks in seriously good form.

Team GB's Keely Hodgkinson also qualifies for the 800m semi-finals. She spoke to the BBC after her heat: "The girls have stepped-up this year and I am happy to get through safely.

"I hate heats they are just awful, mistakes can be made and I can focus on the semis now."

On the track: "I was warming up and whatever they have done they have done a great job!"

Keely Hodgkinson looks totally relaxed as she blows kisses to the camera following her straightforward win.

One down, one more to go, and then another shot at ending that series of global silvers.

It's easy to forget Hodgkinson is still only 22, and only three years have passed since she burst on to the scene with that thrilling Olympic debut in Tokyo.

That is a confident start and one which will only add to the growing feeling that this is her time.

From athletics to swimming, the evening session in the pool is about to get under way. Here's what's coming up...

19:30 - Men's 50m freestyle final (including GB's Ben Proud).

19:37 - Women's 200m backstroke final (including GB's Katie Shanahan and Honey Osrin).

19:45 - Men's 200m individual final (including GB's Duncan Scott and Tom Dean).

20:05 - Men's 100m butterfly semi-finals

20:31 - Women's 200m individual medley semi-finals (including GB's Abbie Wood).

Team GB's 17-year-old 800m athlete Phoebe Gill, speaking to BBC after qualifying for the semi-final: "I cannot believe it! I didn't expect it to be that hard. To get through that was definitely one of the quickest heat's I've done.

"There was a point on the turn I didn't know if I would get third, but thankfully I had it in the legs."

On nerves: "I don't want to get started on it, ask my roommates! I was trying not to hyperventilate.

"I got ready five hours before so I need something to put my mind on."

On how she feels: "I am tired obviously, but it is good to get things started. We are at the Olympic games and it is serious stuff. It is a good way to remind myself how fast these girl are."

Teenager Phoebe Gill says she has been watching Gilmore Girls to settle the nerves as she soaks up the atmosphere of her first summer Games.

At 17, Gill is the youngest British track and field athlete at the Olympics since Linsey MacDonald in 1980.

That was not how Dylan Schmidt will have imagined landing one of his opening moves... the New Zealander, who took bronze in Tokyo 2020, crashed past the side of the trampoline to land on the floor.

Thankfully one of the spotters - the people holding mats at the side of the trampoline was able to do their job quickly and break his fall with the mat. He scores just 19.500.

Straightforward and I am sure Keely Hodgkinson will be thinking 'thank goodness that is over!'

The bell rang and Keely Hodgkinson put her foot on the gas. Smooth running from the Team GB athlete.

Over the line she goes in first place. Hodgkinson is safely through to the semi-finals.

USA's Nia Akins is second and Noelie Yarigo from Benin is third.

The semi-finals are from 19:30 BST on Sunday, 4 August.

Keely Hodgkinson is preparing for Olympic glory in the women's 800m in Paris.

Two GB athletes are through, will the 22-year-old, who won silver in Tokyo three years ago, complete the trio?

Heat four, it's your turn.

I think Kye Whyte was boxed out a bit there. It seemed like a good start but he was right on the outside of the track as well. He chose a position on the edge and got squeezed out.

There's still two more chances for him to reach that final.

The atmosphere inside here is absolutely electric! France have got three riders in the men's event and each one got an absolute roar.

The sun is just setting and it's an absolutely glorious evening in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelienes.

But it's tough going for Great Britain's Kye Whyte in his first semi-final run. The Tokyo silver medalist got round in 32.808 which was good enough for fifth place.

Remember he is struggling with that back injury.

Chile's Mauicio Molina Vergara crashed just by Whyte and that may have thrown the Brit off a little too. But he's going to have to find a bit more speed if he wants to make that final.

Zak Perzamanos, 21, ends his Olympic debut with a roar and a grin as he comes through his routine cleanly. His score of 59.840 is a slight improvement on his qualifying score after he lifted his difficulty level but there are some big hitters to come.

However, it is an unforgiving format as the next competitor will testify to - Angel Hernandez didn't complete his routine as he bounced out. So after two athletes, the Briton leads.

GB's Zac Perzamanos is clearly delighted with that performance.

He's got a big smile on his face and is fist pumping the air.

Here comes the score... 59.840. Now we've got a nervous wait ahead to see if it's good enough for a medal.

To deliver a performance worthy of a semi-final place is tremendous.
