In terms of how Kellie Harrington is viewed at home in the inner city of Dublin, she is a hero. She is absolutely idolised.

You only have to look at the footage when she came home from Tokyo three years ago - a double decker bus driving through her area Portland Row, and the streets were lined with supporters.

Algeria's Imane Khelif advances to the gold medal bout, winning via a unanimous points decision against Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng. The Thai fighter also had to take a standing eight count in the third round of a contest that Khelif dominated.

It is another dominant round for Algeria's Imane Khelif. Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng needs to knock out her opponent in the final round to win this one.

Any hope of a miracle comeback for Spain is quickly closed down as Kerolin restores Brazil's three-goal advantage in the 91st minute.

We're into 15 minutes of additional time and it looks like Brazil are set for a gold medal date against the USA.

Tom: Lost complete faith in Olympic boxing. Judging this whole games has been diabolical. Verde was supposedly behind and yet did nothing in the third round and then somehow won? Absolute robbery once again tonight. Won’t bother in 2028.

Algeria's Imane Khelif is close to the final after dominating the opening round of the women's semi-final against Janjaem Suwannapheng, getting the verdict on all five judges' scorecards.

Barcelona forward Salma Paralluelo has pulled one back for Spain but with five minutes left, surely it's too late to mount a comeback?

Cuban wrestler Mijain Lopez became the first athlete to win five consecutive individual Olympic gold medals in the same event with victory in the 130kg Greco-Roman category.

Lopez, who turns 42 in two weeks, defeated Chile's Yasmani Acosta to take the record outright.

He previously held the title jointly with four-time successive winners Carl Lewis, Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, Al Oerter, Paul Elvstrom and Kaori Icho.

Meanwhile the United States' Amit Elor won gold in the women's freestyle 68kg event, beating Meerim Zhumanazarova of Kyrgyzstan.

Adriana has just added a third goal for Brazil, who are leading 3-0 against Spain with 10 minutes to go...

The world champions caught playing out of the back as they chase the game. Adriana hit the bar for Brazil but she was the first to react on the ball back across the box, she nods it into the back of the Spain net.

Spain out of ideas and heading out.

Court Philippe Chatrier is pretty full for this boxing now. I was here for the tennis the other day and can't quite get used to not being able to see red clay.

I wonder what Wimbledon would have to say if they suggested plonking a boxing ring on Centre Court.

Next up here? Imane Khelif v Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng for a place in the Olympic final.

More from Team GB's Lewis Richardson after winning bronze in the boxing: "It's been an amazing experience, I'm so grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way.

"It's been an amazing journey, I have been boxing for 12, 13 years and the amount of people and support I have had throughout those years has been so influential in me achieving what I have achieved tonight, creating history for myself, my family and my city.

"Even talking now brings pride but I'm a winner and it obviously is disappointing not to be able to box for the gold on Friday."

On taking the bronze medal home to Colchester: "I don't know, we will soon find out next week! I need to sort of lick my wounds for the moment, go back to the village tonight and probably drown my sorrows. I've been dieting like crazy to make the weight. The weight is a challenge for me.

"Drown my sorrows and eat some cake and just look back and hopefully celebrate. Not dwell on the loss but celebrate the win because I have had two fantastic wins out here. Support from Great Britain has been amazing. I'm proud but also disappointed."

Team GB's Lewis Richardson speaking after winning bronze in the boxing: "It's devastating, it's raw. I've stepped out the ring moments ago so emotions are very high. Obviously disappointed to miss out on the final and box for a gold on Friday night.

"Initial disappointment but I hope to look back and be really proud of what I have achieved because I have created history within my city, Colchester. I'm the only British boxer to medal at these Games so hopefully I will look back with pride and happiness in the future."

On whether the fight went to plan: "It's hard to say at this moment I've just stepped out the ring, I'll have to go back and analyse it but it was close, it was a 3-2 split decision.

"Two of the judges went for me, three went against me, every round was competitive and close and that's amateur boxing. It's just a flip of the coin sometimes and in this case it didn't go my way."

No sign of a shock in the final men's basketball quarter-final of the day, with the United States leading Brazil 63-36 at half-time.

A team featuring numerous NBA stars, including LeBron James and Steph Curry, is seemingly cruising towards a semi-final with Serbia on Thursday.

France and Germany will contest the other semi-final.

It is not god given. You do not arrive to the games and suddenly pick up four, five and six medals.

2,115 contests to get the 249 boxers here to the Olympics. Over 2,00 boxers tried to get here over seven international tournaments, over a 13-month-long process.

This is one of the hardest sports to qualify for and once you get here it is savage, it is brutal, it is lethal. And sometimes it is heartbreaking.

More from Team GB's Josh Kerr speaking to BBC TV after winning a silver medal in the men's 1500m final: "I knew we had to weather a storm early. Keep clam and make sure that we were staying as emotionally locked in as we could. At 600m to go, I felt like I had a lot left. Then coming off that last bend, I got pushed off a little bit and I got past him [Jakob Ingebrigtsen] but there is a lot of running left at that point.

"It is so hard to keep track of everything that is going on in the last 100m or so. The result is what the result is but I'm super proud of the way I executed today."

On the next Olympic Games being in Los Angeles, where he lives: "That would be amazing [to win gold there] but I'm secure in myself.

"I medal every time I come to these Championships bar one in the last four years. I've been consistent at this level. I will get the medal I want when it comes to it at the end of my career.

"Today wasn't that day but it's a heck of a step in the right direction."

Yvonne runs the show here at Josh Kerr’s first club, Edinburgh AC, and says getting that silver medal is a massive achievement.

“To actually get to the final? You’ve won. And to get a medal? That’s super. So a good night all round.”

It’s still all smiles here as people head off from a big screen viewing from all his former clubmates.

Yvonne says it was important to get everyone in one place to cheer him on too – and it’s a big part of inspiring the next generation.

“It’s great to have the kids here to run with him… almost.”

Boxing at Paris 2024 has been overshadowed by a row about the eligibility of two fighters in the women's competition.

Algeria's Imane Khelif (who fights later on tonight with a chance of getting into the gold-medal bout) and Taiwanese fighter Lin Yu-ting are guaranteed at least bronze medals. But last year they were disqualified from the World Championships.

The body that oversaw that 2023 event is the International Boxing Association (IBA), and it says both fighters failed gender eligibility tests. On Monday the IBA held a news conference which it had said would provide a "detailed explanation of the reasons for the disqualification".

However the chaotic media event left more questions than answers.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has cast doubt on the reliability of the tests and suggested what is happening is a "sometimes politically motivated cultural war".

In June 2023, the IOC stripped the IBA of its status as the sport's amateur world governing body over concerns over how it was run.
