Mark Stewart has been brought in to replace Ethan Hayter in today's madison.
Stewart was the travelling reserve for the men's endurance squad, meaning he is on standby to step in and compete if needed.
The track team has had four travelling reserves here in Paris - Stewart, Joe Truman (men's sprint), Meg Barker (women's endurance) and Lowri Thomas (women's sprint). They have all been in and around the velodrome all week.
Thomas has often had a camera in her hand, taking some really lovely behind-the-scenes photos that British Cycling have been sharing on their social media channels. Check them out, external.

China completed a clean sweep of the Olympic gold medals in table tennis by winning the women's team title in Paris, the sixth time the Chinese have collected the full set.
The Chinese women withstood a brave Japanese challenge but eventually overpowered their opponents 3-0 to snatch gold, their fifth gold from five competitions at the Games.
The Chinese pairing of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu were tested over five games by Hina Hayata and Miwa Harimoto, winning 9-11 11-6 5-11 11-6 12-10.
Sun Yingsha dominated Miu Hirano in match two, 13-11 11-6 11-6.
Wang Manyu completed the victory over Miwa Harimoto 12-14 12-10 11-7 11-6.
Wang, Chen and Sun were part of the team that defeated Japan in the Tokyo 2020 women’s team gold medal match, and most recently at the 2024 World Championships.

Australia's Kristina Clonan, Canada's Kelsey Mitchell and Japan's Mina Sato go in the second repechage.
Sato has gone early with two laps still left. Is that going to be the right call?
No... Mitchell, who took gold in this event at Tokyo 2020, finds enough speed coming down the ramp and wins by 0.111 seconds.

USA’s Lindsey Horan on Brazil forward and six-time Fifa World Player of the Year Marta, who is on the bench for the Brazilians today: "Marta is such an incredible player. She was an idol for me growing up. The special qualities she brings have been an inspiration for boys, girls all over the world.
"What she has brought to this game you can’t really put into words. What an incredible career and she gets to play in a gold medal match."

Track cycling - men's keirin
Sir Chris Hoy
Six-time Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV
With the tactics, length he [Jack Carlin] has, three lap effort he's been training for, this is his best chance. He is very tactically astute.
It requires a bit of physical. Shoulders and bumping and barging. I think this is his best chance.

Back to the women's sprint and a second chance for those who finished second in their respective heats earlier.
It's Colombia's Martha Bayona, New Zealand's Shaane Fulton and Mathilde Gros of France in the first repechage heat.
Bayona sneaks over the line just 0.027 seconds clear of Gros and is into the quarter-finals.

Not sure how this is still goalless to be honest.
Ludmila straying offside by a boot is part of the reason, as have a couple of smart saves from US keeper Alyssa Naeher.
The Americans have at gone at it, too, with Mallory Swanson unable to take their best opportunity.
Emma Hayes looks relaxed. She walks off with her hands in her pockets as she rehearses the half-time tactical advice in her mind.

New Zealand's Lydia Ko takes the gold medal in the women's golf competition after finishing her fourth round at 10 under overall.
The 27-year-old won the silver at the Rio Games in 2016 and collected a bronze in Tokyo, three years ago so this victory completes a fine set of Olympic medals.
Germany's Esther Henseleit finished on eight under to claim the silver, while China's Xiyu Lin was a stroke further back to pick up the bronze medal.

HT: Brazil 0-0 USA - women's gold medal match
Megan Rapinoe is in attendance at the Parc des Princes, with some very cool shades too.
She's there with former USA team-mates Tobin Heath, on the left, and Ali Krieger.
They have witnessed a goalless, but entertaining first 45 minutes in the women's football final. The half time whistle has just blown with the score at 0-0.
USA keeper Alyssa Naeher ensured the scores stayed level in stoppage time with a brilliant diving stop to deny Gabi Portilho's well-struck effort from 10 yards.

Australia, inaugural champions at Sydney 2000, missed out on a first gold in 24 years but secured their first medal since bronze in London.
The USA failed to medal in women's water polo for the first time at the Olympics, falling to a thrilling 11-10 defeat by the Netherlands in the bronze-medal match.
Dutchwoman Sabrina van der Sloot scored the winning goal with less than a second on the clock.

Gilly Flaherty

It is going to be hard for the United States to get their crosses in as Brazil are already set.
There is not much room between the Brazil defenders and goalkeeper. They might have to get to start cutting it back, or throw it into the air for someone coming in.
