The same, but very different.

The home of tennis is France is about to get some roughing up as the boxing finals roll into north west Paris.

The metro on the way over was more like the line to Dublin as the Irish fans travel in their numbers to try and cheer on Kellie Harrington to a second gold.

There are also plenty of Algerian flags in support of Imane Khelif, and a good few supports in the house for Lewis Richardson too ahead of their semi-finals.

The roof is closed and this should be a cracking night of boxing.

Bonus points if you can spot everyone's favourite Olympic mascot. I wonder if he fancies a go in the ring.

Josh Kerr knew that Cole Hocker was there but he just didn't have any more tonight.

Perhaps Jakob Ingebrigtsen's nerve just cracked a little bit and he perhaps did not run the best race for him.

Hocker ran the absolute perfect race for him and so did Yared Nuguse in coming through to grab that bronze medal at the end.

Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen speaking to BBC TV after missing out on a medal in the men's 1500m final: "My plan was to win. Didn't go according to plan but I felt very strong in the first couple of laps and that's why I had difficulty telling the pace because it was quite fast. It was difficult to slow down and kind of reduce myself a little bit. I was starting to get a little bit of gap so kept on pushing but it was just 100m too long today.

"The guys behind me, finishing in front of me did a great race. It's not always easy to spend your energy wisely but I felt strong and of course not the result I wanted."

On the last 200m: "It depends because in the 1500m, the pace is so strong in the whole race. Especially with me opening so strong, you can't really tell when you're hitting the wall when you hit it. It was just a little bit too early today."

Who saw that coming from Cole Hocker?

That's the first medal event of the of the night at the Stade de France and we've got another four golds up for grabs.

Here's how the rest of the night is shaping up:

• Women's hammer final (under way)
• Men's long jump final (under way)
• Women's 3,000m steeplechase final (20:14 BST)
• Women's 200m final (20:40)

Germany reached the final of the men's hockey competition with a 3-2 win over India.

Marco Miltkau scored the winner six minutes from time after Sukhjeet Singh levelled the tie after half-time.

The 2020 bronze medallists will face the Netherlands in Thursday's final, after the world's number one side beat Spain 4-0 earlier today.

If you look at the replay at 150 metres to go Jakob Ingebrigtsen took the decision to move wide to push Josh Kerr out, so Josh would have to run further. But that opened the door for Cole Hocker.

Even at the Olympic record speed that they were racing at, you still need to make sure you use tactics to maintain your position in the race.

Two-time silver medallists Brazil, will also be looking for a measure of revenge when they play their sixth Olympic semi-final in Marseille against Spain this evening.

Brazil have already knocked out the hosts despite the absence of their suspended captain and all-time leading scorer Marta.

And the 38-year-old six-time Olympian will also miss the semi-finals after she was handed a two-match ban following a red card for a dangerous challenge on Spain's Olga Carmona in their group-stage defeat.

"Everything we have gone through has taught us valuable lessons and helped us improve," Brazil defender Tamires said.

"The team is getting a stronger and stronger mentally."

Josh Kerr looks a pretty happy man as he goes across to his coaches to celebrate.

It might not have been gold but it is silver and a new national record of 3:27.79 seconds - the fastest time he has ever run.

Just look how tight it was between Kerr and Yared Nuguse for that silver medal.

It's judged on who gets their chest over the line first and, as you can see above, Kerr just beats the American to it!

Marta is such an important player for this Brazil side but at 38 years old she is coming to the end of her international career.

She said this will be her last major tournament. Unavailable for this semi-final tonight, perhaps we have seen the last of one of the greatest players of her generation.

Given the talent and the names that this Spanish side have you expect that they will have too much for Brazil.

Spain, who are competing at their first Games, are aiming to extend their trophy haul after winning last year's World Cup, as well as the Uefa Nations League,

"We know what we're capable of, we don't feel any pressure," said Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll.

"What defines us is that we are ambitious. That's what drives us on to go as far as possible."

The Spanish survived a scare to knock out Colombia on penalties after trailing by two goals in their quarter-final, but given they can call upon the likes of reigning Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas, they will fancy their chance against a Brazil side they defeated 2-0 in their group meeting.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen is shaking his head. I'm sure he will say in many, many interviews that he was the pacemaker, but this is what happens at championships. There is no pacemaker, you have to do it yourself. He has no other way of running.

He had to make it hard and take the sprint out of everyone else, but unfortunately for him everyone else knows that and has trained for it. They know he can be defeated.

Wowsers. The famous Roland Garros clay has been covered up, the net removed and the roof closed.

Court Philippe Chatrier, one of tennis' most famous arenas, is now a boxing venue.

There are Ireland fans everywhere. There are lots of Algerians too.

Kellie Harrington goes for gold for Ireland in the last fight of the night at 22:06 BST. Before that Imane Khelif, one of the boxers whose eligibility row continues to rumble on, tries to reach her final.

And at 20:46 Lewis Richardson, the last Team GB boxer standing, goes in his semi-final.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen had a look over his shoulder to check where Josh Kerr was but Cole Hocker was hiding in that slipstream, waiting and waiting around the bend and then he struck and he struck hard.

Stunned. Shocked. The Olympic champion is from the USA.

Josh Kerr did his best but in trying to go with Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Ingebrigtsen tried to run away from Kerr and the two of them tried to destroy each other.

By destroying each other, Cole Hocker stepped up. Wow.

Cole Hocker from the USA has smashed the Olympic record. 3.27:65.

The look of disappointment on Jakob Ingebrigtsen's face says it all.

Josh Kerr has a slight smile.

The gold medal will not go to Norway or Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but the United States of America.

Cole Hocker goes off to grab an American flag and then heads over to ring the bell.

It's an Olympic record of three minutes and 27.65 seconds to boot.

Josh Kerr takes silver and it's bronze for Yared Nuguse of the USA.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen crossed the line fourth.
