It's quite the backdrop for a finish line here on Pont Alexandre III, with the stunning Les Invalides looming in the distance.

This is where Britain's Anna Henderson and Josh Tarling will hope their Olympic dreams come true over the coming hours.

Henderson will roll down the ramp at about 14:16 BST, while in the men's race, Tarling starts at about 16:15.

Up next on Chatrier - Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic has all but completed tennis. The only thing missing is an Olympic gold.

Djokovic loves competing for Serbia and also at the Games. He's made no secret of how much he wants Olympic gold, adding another trophy to a cabinet that is already absolutely bursting.

He's off to a good start here, too, breaking Australia's Matthew Ebden in the first game of the match.

I, meanwhile, opted to nip outside inbetween matches. Can confirm it is still hosing down.

Sixteen-year-old swimmer Grace Davison says making her Olympic debut in Paris was "the biggest thing I've ever done".

Davison, who has just sat her GCSEs, swam with Danielle Hill, Erin Riordan and Victoria Catterson in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay.

In a raucous La Defense Arena, the Irish team finished eighth in a heat that contained the United States and Team GB.

"It is quite overwhelming the whole experience, but I've enjoyed every single minute of it," she told BBC Sport NI.

"This is crazy. It reminds of going to a huge concert. I was at Taylor Swift a few weeks ago and it was pretty big."

Amazing who you bump into when darting around an Olympics.

The first face I saw walking into the Stade de France earlier?

Only Daley Thompson!

After watching the incredible documentary about the British decathlete legend's life last week, I couldn't not say hello. (Although I was too shy to ask him for a photo to go in here.)

Daley isn't here to cover the rugby. But really enjoys the frenetic action so is combining watching it with doing a recce before he comes back to commentate on the athletics.

If you haven't watched the Daley: Olympic Superstar doc on BBC iPlayer then I urge you to do so. You won't regret it.

Poland's Iga Swiatek is up and running at Roland Garros - where she is a four-time champion.

It comes as no surprise that the world number one is the favourite for the gold medal and, on this evidence, she'll take some stopping!

The road cycling time trials get under way shortly, and it’s the first time men and women will race the same course over the same distance in Olympic history.

The 32.4km time trial route is fast and flat, with only 150m of elevation gain.

Starting on the Esplanade des Invalides, the route heads east out of the city through Bois de Vincennes before looping back via the Bastille and finishing on Pont Alexandre III.

It has been pretty much raining non-stop for 24 hours so that surface is going to be slick.

The highs and lows of the Olympics.

While GB's Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen celebrate it is despair for Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith of Australia, with a mistake on their final dive costing them a place on the podium.

This image says it all.

Yasmin Harper, who won Team GB's first medal earlier with Scarlett Mew Jensen, has brought her nail painting kit to Paris.

In the diving competition, the pair were sporting elaborate nails - Union Flags on the thumbs and more red, white and blue elsewhere etc - painted by Harper in their room in the Olympic village.

"I taught myself to do," Harper said. "The salon might reopening after this!"

It's also her 24th birthday on Sunday.

"I don't know what I am going to do," Harper said. "Maybe go see Paris and have a little bit of celebration."

"I'll celebrate for you!" Mew Jensen chirped.

Max Whitlock, speaking to BBC TV: "It was about taking it step by step. Starting on the vault, the boys started amazing, I think the atmosphere lifted us. To be honest, in qualification, when you round it up, it’s the hardest one by an absolute mile.

"Everyone goes in feeling like they know when the pressure’s going to hit, where their specialist pieces are, and the tension builds when it gets to that, but when it hits, the feeling’s unbelievable. Finishing the way the boys did, I think we can all be very, very proud. But it’s only step one.

"I don’t think we can be happy, everyone ticked the boxes we needed to and everyone did their job amazingly, so we can use this to build confidence. We’ve still got a big job to do."

To have Max Whitlock on the [Team GB gymnastics] team, he has been there and done that and can help the younger team members.

Luke [Whitehouse] and Harry [Hepworth] are making their Olympic debuts and have only recently shot onto the scene but have already got international medals.

10 or 15 years ago you were kind of relying on one person to bring home a medal whereas now, all of the British team have got individual accolades already to their name before they come into this Championships.

The BBC One coverage is taking a break for the news from 13:00 BST for 15 minutes. When it returns the focus will switch to the road cycling. Up first is the women's individual time trial featuring GB's Anna Henderson, Pfeiffer Georgi and Anna Morris.

GB men in strong position to qualifypublished at 12:56 British Summer Time 27 July

12:56 BST 27 July

We won't find out if Team GB have officially qualified for the men's team final until later this evening but they have put themselves in a very good position by finishing top of their sub-division.

There are two more sub-divisions to come today. Great efforts all round from Jake Jarman, Max Whitlock, Luke Whitehouse, Joe Fraser and Harry Hepworth.

Irina-Camelia Begu just picked a terrible time to have a bad service game.

She was serving to take the match to a decider but quickly went 0-40 down, battled her way back to deuce and then could barely find a serve to allow Iga Swiatek to break back and keep this second set going.

Ouch.

Earlier today, Great Britain's men got up and running in the hovckey with a 4-0 win over Spain in Pool A. Afterwards, captain David Ames gave his thoughts to BBC TV:

"Very happy. We've had a week of trying to get ready and the excitement building up for everybody. We probably didn't come out of the blocks as well as we would have wanted, but managed to dig in and not concede. We played really well for three-quarters of the game, and to come away with a 4-0 win is pretty special."

Stating the obvious here but… the French live for their rugby, don’t they?

A full three hours before the men’s rugby sevens kicks off - and four hours before France’s semi-final against South Africa - the streets outside the Stade de France are packed.

And rowdy!

The queue at the bar is already 15 deep…

Olympic silver medallist Jess Eddie speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "There were so many fourth places for the GB rowing team in Tokyo and I think we'll see so many of those teams coming back and learning from their mistakes. I think they'll be standing on the podium this time.

"I think we've got real medal contentions in possibly seven of our rowing crews. I'm looking at at least four gold medals out of that."

It has a been a busy morning in the rowing at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and debutant Becky Wilde finished second in their heat in the women’s double sculls to qualify for the semi-finals.

In the men’s quadruple sculls heats Team GB's Tom Barras - the only remaining member of the British boat that took silver in Tokyo - Graeme Thomas and debutants Callum Dixon and Matt Haywood finished second to qualify for final A behind reigning world and Olympic champions the Netherlands.

In the women’s quadruple sculls, the British quartet of Lola Anderson, Georgie Brayshaw, Lauren Henry and Hannah Scott lived up to their billing as favourites, with the current world champions winning their heat to qualify for final A.

Ireland’s duo of Philip Doyle and Daire Lynch also won their heat to reach the semi-finals of the men’s double sculls.

Well...

Iga Swiatek has a scrappy service game and she's broken to 15 as she buries a backhand into the net.

Irina-Camelia Begu has been excellent, really stepping up her game, and Swiatek's forehand and footwork have just been that little bit off.

It'll be interesting if it goes the distance - but there's still some way to go.

Down on the Seine near Notre-Dame, the clean up is under way after last night’s shindig.

Hopefully no booze-induced headaches.

Builders are deconstructing the temporary stands with power drills, pallets and forklift trucks.

Techies are derigging snakes of the broadcast cables which beamed Paris to every corner of the world.

Tourists are starting to mill about as one of Paris’ most iconic arrondissements slowly opens back up for business.

Olympic bronze medallist Scarlett Mew Jensen: "I am very much lost for words, a month ago I didn't think I would be here. To be up on the boards and to come away with that [bronze medal] I can't imagine anything better."

On their fifth dive: "We knew that we needed two really, really good dives. I think also it's not over until it's over and we very much showed that today."

On the third dive: "It was a little bit tactical and a little but out of Yas's comfort zone but we wanted to find a middle ground of going all out on our hardest dive and that's exactly what we were going for."

On what was going through their minds when the Australian's faltered on their last dive: "Denial. We thought they would have done it regardless but also just suspense massively."

On Team GB diving coach Dave Jenkins who sadly passed away in September 2022: "I said to Yas, all I was thinking about was him when we found out that we got a bronze. I know he would be so proud of us. To split up and come back to it again and be Olympic medallists, I can't explain it and I wish he was here but it is a turn of events that I wish would never have happened."
