Summary

  1. Goodbye!published at 22:45 British Summer Time 10 August

    Thank you for joining us today for day 15 of the 2024 Olympics. Tomorrow is the final day of the Games (sob), concluded by the closing ceremony.

    We will bring you coverage of all the remaining medal events, then full TV, radio and live text of the ceremony as Paris says farewell and Los Angeles says see you in four years.

    You can catch up with all the best stories from today's Games here, and we'll see you tomorrow. Ta-ra for now.

  2. What's to come on Sunday?published at 22:43 British Summer Time 10 August

    Gold medal events:

    Athletics (women's marathon), basketball (women's), handball (men's), modern pentathlon (women's), track cycling (men's keirin, women's sprint, women's omnium), volleyball (women's), water polo (men's), weightlifting (women's +81kg), wrestling (men's freestyle 65kg, men's freestyle 97kg, women's freestyle 76kg)

    Highlights

    The final day of the Games brings three more gold medals to be won in the velodrome if Team GB are looking for a late boost.

    Option one: the women's sprint (final from 11:45). While you have to go back to Victoria Pendleton in 2008 to find the last Briton who took gold in this event, GB's Emma Finucane is the defending world champion.

    Option two: the men's keirin (final at 12:32), an event beloved first by Sir Chris Hoy with gold in 2008 and 2012, then by Sir Jason Kenny with gold in 2016 and 2021. Imagine adding your name to that list. That's the task ahead of GB’s Commonwealth silver medallist Jack Carlin and Hamish Turnbull, but the likes of the Netherlands’ Harrie Lavreysen could be hard to defeat.

    Option three: the women's omnium (decided at 12:56). This is the final event in the velodrome at Paris 2024 and presents one last opportunity for GB, but perhaps even more of an opportunity for US rider Jennifer Valente, the defending world and Olympic champion.

    Emily Campbell took Britain's first medal in women's Olympic weightlifting with silver in Tokyo. She has since added world silver and has won four successive European titles. Her +81kg category begins at 10:30, with China's Li Wenwen the favourite for gold.

    The Paris 2024 closing ceremony is due to begin at 19:00. This time, we are back in the traditional stadium setting as the Stade de France hosts the world's athletes for a final goodbye. The show you will see performed during the closing ceremony is titled Records, although not too much has been given away by its creators. This also marks the handover to Los Angeles 2028 for the next Olympics and to the Paris 2024 Paralympics, which begin on Wednesday, 28 August.

  3. What's happened on day 15?published at 22:42 British Summer Time 10 August

    The penultimate day of competition at Paris 2024 is complete - here are the main headlines:

    • Great Britain have won six medals - two silver and four bronze - to take their tally in Paris to 63, one short of the 64 they won in Tokyo.
    • Izzy Thorpe and Kate Shortman won silver in the artistic swimming duet - GB's first ever Olympic medal in the sport.
    • Caden Cunningham also took taekwondo silver in the men's +80kg category, but Rebecca McGowan was beaten in her women's +67kg bronze medal contest.
    • Three bronze medals came on the track; Georgia Bell came third in the women's 1500m, while both men's and women's 4x400m relay squads were third in their respective finals.
    • Noah Williams won bronze in the men's 10m platform, adding to his silver alongside Tom Daley in the synchronised 10m platform earlier in the Games.
    • USA, managed by ex-Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, beat Brazil 1-0 to win women's football gold.
    • A star-studded USA men's basketball team was too strong for hosts France in their gold medal match.
  4. Is Tom Cruise involved in the closing ceremony?published at 22:41 British Summer Time 10 August

    Ah, that's the question you've all been asking.

    Hollywood star Tom Cruise has been spotted at several events over the course of Paris 2024 and rumours are rife that he may have a part to play in tomorrow's closing ceremony - the 2028 Games are set to be hosted in Los Angeles after all.

    Well, organisers have remained tight-lipped about who is appearing, but Cruise is heavily rumoured to be taking part by abseiling down the stadium.

    There will be a segment during which Paris hands over to the next hosts and that could be where the 62-year-old features.

    The closing ceremony will feature performers, dancers and circus artists taking part alongside famous headlining acts, both French and American.

    Snoop Dogg, who has been prominent throughout the Games, is expected to perform - as are French artists Air and Phoenix.

    Artistic director Thomas Jolly said the show was called 'Records', and it promises to take the audience on a science-fiction dream-like immersive journey through time.

    That will begin from the origins of the Olympic Games and will go to a dystopian future when the Olympics have disappeared and must be reinvented.

    Watch out Amsterdam - there’s a new player trying to steal your crown as Europe’s cycling capital city.

    Pedal power has taken over with Paris transforming itself into a bike-friendly place.

    Hundreds of miles of cycle lanes have been built over recent years as the French geared up for the Olympics and tried to become greener.

    Examples include one running along the arc of the Seine - past iconic sights including the Eiffel Tower and Trocadero - and another which has taken over half of Rue de Rivioli, which is a main shopping street near the Louvre.

    And there are many bike parks, like this one outside the historic Eglise de la Madeleine, for Parisians and tourists to pick up and drop off their wheels.

    Last year, 200,000 journeys were made on the city’s Velib scheme alone, which has 14,000 docking points, plus thousands more on several other providers.

    The DJ has the US-themed playlist ready to roll.

    As Steph Curry is mobbed by his team-mates and draped in a Stars and Stripes flag by James, the classics come out to please the Americans among us.

    Empire State of Mind. Living in America. Beat It.

    Like being on a night out in Lower East Side.

    France played their part in putting on a show for the fans at Accor Arena.

    There wasn't much more that San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama could do. He scored a game-high 26 points.

    And Real Madrid's Guerschon Yabusele was the third highest scorer with 20 points.

    If it wasn't for a late rally from Steph Curry, where he only seemed to be able to find three-pointers, then this could have been a different night.

    Artistic swimming - dual final

    Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe spoke to the BBC after winning silver in artistic swimming.

    Shortman said: “Honestly it feels like a dream. I can’t believe it. We have worked so hard to get here. There are so many to thank. Thank you [Izzy] because we’ve been through some really hard times these past three years trying to get here, it just makes me emotional that it was all worth it.”

    On whether the routine name ‘rising phoenix’ was a metaphor: “It feels like it. Recently UK Sport this year have been a massive support, they have funded us, massive thank you to the national lottery players as well who have made that happen. There are just so many people to thank for this result.”

    Thorpe added: “After Tokyo both of us were unsure if we were going to carry on, we didn't know what the future looked like for us in the sport. We were getting the same results all the time we were coming 14th in Tokyo. We weren’t progressing from there, it was really disheartening and then we had this massive change.

    “I’m so glad that we carried on. We were at a real low point in our careers when we thought we were gonna stop and I’m so pleased we had each other and we pushed through.

    “From this season alone we’ve started getting funding, we've done so well. We’re just so lucky we've been recognised and are able to get that support.”

    Taiwanese Lin Yu-ting has been awarded her gold medal. She was visibly emotional as the anthem played but her tears turned to a smile at the end.

    Afterwards she was embraced by bronze medallist Esra Yildiz Kahraman.

    After defeat by Lin on Thursday, Turkey's Kahraman made an 'X' gesture to the crowd - said to be intended to represent female chromosomes - but both were smiling after their hug on the medal podium.
