The tension on the track heats up further tonight with rivals Josh Kerr and Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen competing in a highly-anticipated 1500m final.

Ingebrigtsen reckons he can beat Josh Kerr blindfolded when fully fit.

World champion Kerr says the Olympic gold medallist has "flaws on the track and in the manners realm". And that he's surrounded by "yes men".

But when the gun heralds the start of the men's 1500m in the Stade de France on Tuesday, talk will fall silent. Deed will take over.

Barring a significant shock, one of these two will be crowned Olympic champion in Paris. It will be "one of the most vicious and hardest 1500m races seen in a very long time", according to Team GB captain Kerr.

"There's been a lot of words over the last two years," added the Tokyo bronze medallist. "I'm just looking to settle that. I'm ready to go after it."

Keely Hodgkinson went away from the pack in a way which is so impressive.

She is going to become an absolute star in British athletics. She is a pleasant figure, she's entertaining and she is going to become a person whom British athletics will revel having.

Team GB's Harry Charles has withdrawn from today’s individual showjumping final because his horse Romeo 88 is not fit enough to compete.

In a post on social media, Charles said: "Unfortunately me and Romeo will not start the individual final today in Paris. After a small overreach yesterday he is not quite the 110% that he has been the whole games, so we are not taking any risks.

"Maybe I'm a little disappointed but honestly not really. He has given me so much and took me beyond my dreams, we’re leaving Paris with a gold medal and more importantly a happy Romeo, so that’s way more than enough for me."

Charles' Team GB team-mates Scott Brash and Ben Maher are still in contention for the event, which gets under way at 09:00 BST.

The trio won gold in the equestrian team jumping on Friday.

Great Britain's Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix qualified for the women's Olympic individual 10m platform final in Paris but synchro partner Lois Toulson missed out.

Spendolini-Sirieix, 19, scored an impressive 367.00 to qualify in third place for Tuesday's final (14:00 BST) but Toulson had an off day and, despite saving her best dive until last, finished in 13th place with 278.50.

Toulson, 24, was 14.30 points off the qualification places with the top 12 advancing.

The British pair have already won bronze in the women's synchronised 10m platform.

Chinese divers Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi qualified in first and second place, respectively.

Great Britain's Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith qualified for the women's 200m final at Paris 2024, as 100m champion Noah Lyles progressed in the men's event.

Neita, who finished four-hundredths of a second off the 100m podium on Saturday, finished second behind the United States' Brittany Brown (22.12 seconds) in her semi-final in 22.24.

An emotional Asher-Smith was left bitterly disappointed after missing out on the 100m final but she will race for a 200m medal after running 22.31 to cross the line behind American Gabby Thomas in her semi-final.

Thomas, the gold-medal favourite after the withdrawal of Jamaica's Shericka Jackson, clocked the fastest time in the semi-finals with 21.86, ahead of St Lucia's 100m champion Julien Alfred (21.98).

Great Britain claimed Olympic triathlon mixed team relay bronze after initially being announced as silver medallists following a photo finish on a thrilling morning in Paris.

The quartet of Alex Yee, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Samuel Dickinson and Beth Potter had jostled with Germany for the lead throughout the race.

They held a five-second lead going into the final stage but Potter was caught on the cycle leg by Germany's Laura Lindemann and American Taylor Knibb.

Roared on by the British team down the iconic Pont Alexandre III, Potter could not match Lindemann's final kick but she and Knibb crossed the line almost in tandem.

Britain were initially announced as having won silver but, following a review by race officials, it was confirmed just before the medal ceremony that the United States had finished second, with Britain third.

Great Britain’s Joe Clarke won Olympic silver after team-mate Kimberley Woods claimed bronze in a wonderfully-chaotic kayak cross event which entertained and excited the Paris 2024 fans.

In an event making its Olympic debut, Clarke finished second to make up for missing out on a medal in the men's kayak single final earlier this week.

"I came here for gold. I've got silver, which I'm very proud of. What a Games," said 31-year-old Clarke, who was selected by Team GB after being overlooked for Tokyo 2020.

Moments earlier, Woods clinched her second medal of the Games after also winning bronze in a dramatic women's single final.

The International Boxing Association held a chaotic news conference on Monday which left more questions than answers over an eligibility row that has overshadowed boxing at the 2024 Olympics.

Algeria's Imane Khelif and Taiwanese fighter Lin Yu-ting are guaranteed at least bronze medals in the women's competition in Paris, having been cleared to compete in the Games by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

That's despite the pair being disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Championships after the IBA, which organised the event, claimed they had failed gender eligibility tests.

Last night also saw the finalists confirmed in the men's football, with Spain beating Morocco 2-1 to continue their fairly successful (!) summer.

And hosts France beat Egypt 3-1 with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring twice to set up an enthralling final, which takes place on Friday.

Only three players over the age of 23 can play per team in men's Olympic football but there are no age restrictions in the women's game.

The women's semi-finals take place tonight with the USA taking on Germany and Brazil playing Spain (of course).

Sweden's Armand Duplantis set a new world record of 6.25m after winning gold in the men's pole vault.

The 24-year-old, who had secured successive Olympic titles by clearing six metres, set an Olympic record of 6.10m with his next attempt.

And he improved his world best of 6.24m, that he set in April, by one centimetre at his third and final attempt, to the delight of the crowd in the Stade de France.

The two-time world champion has now broken the record on nine occasions.

American Sam Kendricks, cleared 5.95m to take silver, while Greece's Emmanouil Karalis secured bronze on countback with a best of 5.90m.

Duplantis, the first athlete to retain the pole vault title since American Bob Richards in 1952 and 1956, raced to his friends and family after breaking the world record.

He then embarked on a lap of the track draped in the Swedish flag, as Abba's 'Dancing Queen' blasted out of the stadium sound system.

Before Keely Hodgkinson's epic win there was drama on the track in the women's 5000m.

Netherlands' Sifan Hassan began her attempt at an astonishing treble of the 5,000m, 10,000m and the marathon - but was held off by stunning final laps from Kenyans Beatrice Chebet and Faith Kipyegon.

Kipyegon claimed silver, was then disqualified as she was deemed to have obstructed Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay, and then she was reinstated after an appeal.

Hassan couldn't keep up as the pair kicked clear to take her 5,000m title which she won in Tokyo, having to settle for the bronze.

For me it is a pretty emphatic no, but BBC Sport challenged regular gym-goers to keep up with Keely Hodgkinson's 800m pace on a treadmill, with the help of fitness influencer Lucy Davis.

The location of the surfing in Tahiti looks absolutely spectacular and the pictures that come from the event are equally as eye-catching.

Gabriel Medina of Brazil, who eventually took bronze, made headlines for arguably the "photo of the Games" in the earlier rounds, which is below.

There was further success for France in the women's surfing, as Johanne Defay claimed bronze by beating Costa Rica's Brisa Hennessy.

The silver went to Brazilian Tatiana Weston-Webb and Caroline Marks of the USA won gold.

"Your whole life goes into a moment like this," said Marks after her victory. "It's beyond all my wildest dreams."

The surfing medal finals took place overnight in Tahiti after a couple of delays.

In the men's bronze medal match Brazil's Gabriel Medina claimed bronze while Kauli Vaast, who is from French Polynesia but representing France, claimed the gold.

Vaast, pictured above, beat Australia's Jack Robinson in the final.

"I don’t really realise it, but I just made history,” said Vaast. “I can’t be prouder to represent Tahiti and France at home.”
