    Men's rugby sevens - France 28-7 Fiji

    Almost an hour after France won gold, their players are deservedly lapping up the adulation in the middle of the pitch.

    Lined up like a dance troupe, looks like they are going to burst into a dance.

    They did do a Moulin Rouge-style video last week...

    Not this time. The formation is abandoned when Johnny Hallyday - a 70s rock god known as the French Elvis - blasts out.

    The squad jump around together like it's the end of the night in your local late-night bar.

    There was tactics of all sorts in the pool there!

    Ariarne Titmus was so smart in the way she swam that race. She used her speed and she was lucky because she was breathing next to Summer McIntosh in that final 50m.

    MacIntosh was breathing away from Titmus and that just gave her the edge in those closing stages.

    Ariarne Titmus swam that incredibly.

    She knew that her strength was her speed and she went with it from the start. Even though it wasn't massively quick it doesn't matter when it comes to the Olympic Games, it is all about the medals.

    It was hard yards there for Ariarne Titmus, she really had to dig deep for that one.

    Katie Ledecky didn't put up the challenge I thought she would. Titmus did everything on that first 200m and Summer McIntosh did well to stay with her but did not quite have enough.

    VAMOS!

    A beauty of a drop shot from Carlos Alcaraz at the net is enough to secure victory for he and Rafael Nadal in the men's doubles.

    That was very entertaining, especially against an experienced Argentine pairing.

    Nadal is currently waving to the crowd who are chanting his name - tennis fans know they may not be able to enjoy him on the court for much longer.

    It looks like Ariarne Titmus headed to the wrong lane there. After a quick chat her great rival Katie Ledecky asked her to swap.

    Pressure?

    Seven-time Olympic gold medallist Katie Ledecky meets rival Australia's Ariarne Titmus, who pipped the American great to gold at Tokyo in 2021.

    Canada's Summer McIntosh is also in the running for gold, with the 17-year-old searching for her first Olympic medal.

    That was a wonderful swim from Lukas Martens and a brilliant race.

    He was just dominant. Straight from the beginning he was racing hard and racing tough. From three months out of the water, he has doubled down, gone middle distance and won the gold.

    Rafael Nadal is about to serve for the match on Court Philippe Chatrier - how many times have tennis fans heard that over the years?

    He and Carlos Alcaraz have come from a break down in this second set and are on the verge of a place in the second round.

    Yes, there's Adam Peaty and the 4x100m relays but if you asked swimming super fans which race they are most excited for tonight then it would be the women’s 400m freestyle final (19:52 BST). There are storylines everywhere.

    The final includes the three fastest women in history over this distance – the great Katie Ledecky, defending champion Ariarne Titmus of Australia and 17-year-old Canadian Summer McIntosh, who is expected to be swimming's next big thing. All three have held the world record at some point in their careers.

    Perhaps surprisingly it was American Ledecky, a veteran at 27 years old, who was quickest in the heats. She is hunting two golds at these Games to take her Olympic total to nine and become the most decorated female swimmer of all time.

    Three, and she has her two favoured events to come after this plus relays, would mean she has more gold medals than any female Olympian in any sport.

    We saw France win their first gold of the Games earlier on with celebrations in the men's rugby sevens.

    Well, there could be more home success in the next hour, with this one in the fencing.

    Auriane Mallo-Breton of France takes on Vivian Kong Man Wai of Hong Kong in the gold medal bout in the women's epee individual event.

    Before that, Hungary's Eszter Muhari goes up against Estonia's Nelli Differt with the winner taking bronze.

    There are also medals up for grabs in the men's sabre individual competition. Luigi Samele of Italy faces Ziad Elsissy of Egypt in the bronze medal bout, before Oh Sang-uk of South Korea challenges Fares Ferjani of Tunisia for the gold medal.
