The athletes are probably too focused on the race to notice, but views along this marathon route are spectacular.

Cairess is struggling to keep up, but he's still not too far away to make a move later on. He's still in the pack.

It looks like Eliud Kipchoge will not be making it three successive marathon golds. The legendary Kenyan, 39, is struggling towards the back of the field.

You've got to understand that if you are going through times in a marathon, so is everyone else. Even Tola at the front will face tough times.

Emile Cairess looks to be fading as a host of athletes begin to overtake him. That tough climb may have taken a lot out of him.

Things are looking good for leader Tamirat Tola out in front, with the Ethiopian opening up a 14 second gap.

Have to say, the Grand Palais has to be the most impressive venue at these Games in Paris.

Spectacular.

There's still a long, long way to go. 10km. It might not seem a lot to these athletes, but we often say this is where the race really begins.

You get a real idea of just how tough these runners are working here. When you get to top of this hill, you simply have to just keep working here.

GB's Caden Cunningham wins the first round 6-5!

He now needs just one more round to progress to the quarter-finals.

This is a great run by Team GB's Emile Cairess, who has moved up to second as the athletes embark on a brutal climb heading towards Versailles.

Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia leads by 11 seconds and is looking pretty comfortable.

Long way to go though.

Here we go, Brit Caden Cunningham is under way against Niger's Abdoul Razak Issoufou Alfaga.

Can he make it to the quarter-finals?

Watch as GB quartet Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita win silver in the women's 4x100m relay final.

They had two tricky changeovers as the rain fell in Paris but Neita was superb on the anchor leg.

She almost overhauled 100m silver medallist Sha'Carri Richardson down the final straight, but the American crossed first in 41.78 seconds.

Britain clocked 41.85secs, with Germany third in 41.97.

Watch as Great Britain's quartet of Zharnel Hughes, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, Louie Hinchliffe and Jeremiah Azu win the bronze medal in the men's 4x100m relay final at the Paris Olympics.

Zharnel Hughes starred for the men on the anchor leg, running a superb final few metres to secure a medal.

Canada took victory in a season's best 37.50, with South Africa second in 37.57 and Britain third with 37.61.

Team GB's silver medallist Elinor Barker in the women's madison, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "We needed to score really well in the last sprint so we had to go full gas and leave everything out there.

"I am really happy, we did dream of gold but it is not like it was a timed even - there is so many different variables.

"We have to look at how many incredible fast teams didn’t medal and that puts it into perspective that you can be proud of the silver medal."

On it being her third Olympics: "It has been three entirely different experiences of Games for me. At Rio I was young and I didn’t have racing experience, it was completely wild. The Tokyo Games was much quieter compared to the carnival of Rio.

"Most of us are realising how important it is to have your friends and family there – we have really enjoyed that in Paris."

New Zealand's Lydia Ko and Switzerland's Morgane Metraux head into the final day of the women's golf competition tied at nine under par after an eventful third day at Le Golf National.

Overnight leader Metraux had been one over for the day until an eagle on the 18th meant she signed for a one-under 71.

Ko, who already has silver and bronze medals from the past two Olympic Games, is well positioned to try to complete the set with gold on Saturday after carding a four-under 68 to climb two spots on the leaderboard.

Behind her sits America's Rose Zhang and Japan's Yamashita Miyu, who are two shots back at seven under par.

Play is just getting under way.
