James: THAT WAS FABULOUS! Botswana taking it to the USA. Tebogo so very nearly got to Benjamin but he was too strong. What a race! Another British bronze.

MGceltic: What a run by Botswana. Tebogo is one hell of an athlete.

Andrew Cotter
Commentator on BBC One

That was one of the quickest races we have ever seen.

Olympic record time for the USA to hold on to the event which they have really made their own but my goodness Botswana and Tebogo at the end made them race every inch of the way.

They just can't believe it! It's going to be at least a silver for Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe! They are hugging and crying!

Their brilliant routine has a theme of 'rising phoenix' - this is in tribute to the change in the judging system, which might sound a bit dry - but it has changed everything for them.

The scoring system, overhauled last year, became less subjective and played more to their technical strengths. Shortman had considered quitting before the change.

So it all makes perfect sense!

Wow! All the Union Jacks in the arena are waving in overdrive! Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe have made history!

They have shot to the top of the standings and are guaranteed a first ever GB medal in the sport.

What colour will it be?

Two teams to go.

New Zealand's Hamish Kerr has just sprinted across the infield, his arms in the air, lapping up the crowd's appreciation.

Amazing celebrations from the 27-year-old - and the New Zealand media around me here!

After that moment, and between the relays, we have a lights show, dance anthems, the crowd going wild as they're shown on the big screen.

It's going off on closing night at the Stade de France!

Replays show a huge collision between the South African and French runners on the final leg. France's Fabrisio Saidy was knocked off the track entirely.

We will hear more about that soon, I am sure.

Belgium are catching GB in third as we go into the final lap.

Can Charlie Dobson bring home a medal for GB?

Matt Hudson-Smith passes on to Lewis Davey. GB are up there with USA and Botswana, who are clear of the rest.

USA have hit the front.

A really good first leg from GB, and the hand-over of the baton is good.

Botswana lead, with USA second and GB third.

We're off!

Alex Haydock-Wilson runs the first leg for GB, with Matt Hudson-Smith second up.

International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach says he intends to stand down after the end of his second term next year.

The German lawyer, who has been in charge since 2013, surprised members at a session during the Paris Games, saying he would not continue despite being asked to.

An extension would have require a change in the Olympic charter that limits the president to a maximum of 12 years - a first eight-year term and a second four-year term, that he himself had helped draft.

"After 12 years in the office of IOC president our organisation is best served with a change in leadership. New times are calling for new leaders," he said in an emotional speech.

The new IOC president will be elected in March 2025 at a session in ancient Olympia and will take over in June of that year, Bach said.

No member has yet openly campaigned to succeed him.

Right, we break away from that bizarre high jump final to bring you the penultimate event on the track - the men's 4x400m.

Team GB are aiming for a medal in this one. 400m silver medallist Matt Hudson-Smith features here, and they were fastest in the heats.

Nope, Hamish Kerr also clatters into the bar at 2.36m.

This has not been the most impressive high jump final - it has been several minutes since anyone actually cleared a jump - but it is certainly a tense watch.

Now the bar will be reduced to 2.34m...

Shelby McEwan goes for 2.36m... down comes the bar.

If Hamish Kerr clears his jump, he wins Olympic gold.

No pressure.

Both McEwan and Kerr have failed again at 2.38m.

So the bar is reduced down to 2.36m! I haven't seen this at an Olympics before.

Both men get one jump at the reduced height. This jump-off is fascinating...

So, we have a situation in the men's high jump final.

Both Shelby McEwan of USA and New Zealand's Hamish Kerr have failed three times at 2.38m. As the only two men remaining, they have the option to share gold as happened in 2021...

But they have decided to keep competing! No sharing here.

Both will get one more jump at 2.38m.

It's surprisingly chilly inside the Grand Palais - a real contrast to outside, which feels like an absolute sweatbox in the Paris sun.

The aircon is working overtime to keep the fighters cool, with coaches on hand to wipe down their faces with towels as and when.

There's a fair few Union Jacks in for Rebecca McGowan and Caden Cunningham.

We're getting towards the business end of the artistic swimming, with just six pairs to perform, including GB's Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe.
