    Eyob Faniel has made an early surge and is now 23 seconds clear of the chasing pack, with no-one choosing to join him at this stage.

    The 31-year-old Italian finished 20th in Tokyo, has he gone too early?

    Will we have more glory to come from the climbing?

    GB's Erin McNeice goes in the women's boulder and lead final at 9:15 BST.

    As we saw yesterday with Toby Roberts, anything is possible.

    The leading pack, including double Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge, complete the opening 10km in just 30.59.

    It's fair to say that is quicker than I manage.

  6. 'Very warm morning in Paris'published at 07:42 British Summer Time 10 August

    It’s a very warm morning in Paris.

    As well as that being tough for the marathon runners, spare a thought for those covering events. It’ll be up to 30 degrees on the streets of Paris, and the crews on the camera bikes are in full gear.

    Also, the special photographers truck is pretty exposed - the snappers on there don’t have any shade for the two-and-a-bit hours along the route.

    Hope they’ve put on some sun cream.

    What a phenomenal performance. Toby, just 19 years old, the performance he gave, the maturity he showed on both his tactics and his strength. We call him the terminator because he has this level that very few – I’ve not seen anyone else unlock that on a wall. There’s very big things to come.

    Ahead of this event we weren’t the dominant nation – maybe we are now. For me to see so many climbers passionate and pushing our sport, it’s just a privilege to be a part of it.

    My dream was to see this sport boom and see it grow and to try and be a very small part of that and to help this sport grow in a positive way and to see what the guys and girls are doing. To live in this era of sport climbing is a true privilege.

    'To win Olympic gold is a dream come true'published at 07:35 British Summer Time 10 August

    Men's boulder and lead

    Team GB's boulder and lead Olympic champion Toby Roberts, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "The morning after and I am still buzzing.

    “I didn’t realise straight away that I won! I saw the Japanese faller falling off and I didn’t know what the points where - it was a flood of emotions and a surreal moment.

    “I wanted to be in the moment and see my family, so many years of hard work and training have gone into the moment. To win Olympic gold is a dream come true."

    On his love of climbing: “I love how unique it is and I love problem solving - it is a physical game on the wall. Every time I climb I have to work my mind and it is such a unique sport."

    “My dad is my main coach and it was so nice to have him there, he always has my back and it has been great journey. I am sure there is many more journeys to come – I am really excited.

    Why his nickname is the Terminator: "I don’t know where this name has come from and I am not sure how I feel about it!"

    We call Toby Roberts 'The Terminator’ as he has this level that I have never seen anyone unlock on the wall.

    Team GB were the only nation to have two athletes in the final. Ahead of the event we weren’t the dominant nation, but maybe we are now.

    My dream was to see the sport boom.

    There are huge amounts of crowd on this route already and the first part that weaves around landmarks and towards the Seine, there is plenty of shade. Temperatures are only around 15, conditions are a lot better than they could be and it is due to be a lot warmer for the women's race tomorrow.

    Like so many of the Olympic events, the marathon route will take in some of the most iconic venues in the French capital.

    The runners have started at the Hotel de Ville - Paris' city hall - with the River Seine providing a spectacular backdrop for the early stages of the race.

    The route also takes in Palais Garnier opera house, Place Vendome, the Louvre museum, and the Trocadero, before making its way out to the Palace of Versailles. It then snakes back into the city before finishing at Esplanade des Invalides.

  18. GB's Barker & Evans win silver before dramatic Carlin bronzepublished at 07:00 British Summer Time 10 August

    Elinor Barker and Neah Evans won a hard-earned silver in an enthralling madison before Jack Carlin took a dramatic sprint bronze as Britain's cyclists continued to deliver medals at the Paris Olympics.

    A huge push on the final sprint of the madison gave world champions Barker and Evans a total of 31 points - six behind gold medallists Italy.

    Carlin, meanwhile, missed out on the chance to race for gold when he lost to eventual champion Harrie Lavreysen in the semi-finals, but beat his Dutch compatriot Jeffrey Hoogland over three races for bronze.

    It was not without controversy, though, with the race restarted after Carlin - who broke his ankle in April - mistakenly caused a collision that could have ruined his chances.

    There is plenty of British interest in the field. Emile Cairess this year became the first British man to finish on the podium at the London Marathon since Mo Farah in 2018. Mahamed Mahamed wasn’t far behind, coming fourth in London in just his second ever marathon.

    Phil Sesemann will also be competing in the hopes that his training with ‘Kipchoge’ – not the runner, but his pet dog – will pay off in Paris.

    It is another early start in Paris as some of the best male elite athletes in the world gather at the start line for the men's marathon.

    The event sees of the greatest male distance runners in history renew their rivalry in Paris, which is where they first went head-to-head on the global stage 21 years ago at the World Championships.

    Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge is attempting an unprecedented hat-trick of Olympic marathon titles. With fellow all-time great Kenenisa Bekele, Ethiopia’s oldest ever Olympian at 42, also on the start line.
