Axelsen win men’s singles badminton gold

Men’s kayak cross: The men’s small final now.

The order ends Martin Dougoud, Slovakia’s Jakub Grigar, France’s Boris Neveu, Poland’s Mateusz Polaczyk.

The finals now.

Women’s kayak cross: So this small final will determine fifth to eighth positioning at the Olympic games.

The order ends up: New Zealand’s Luuka Jones, Switzerland’s Alena Marx, Algeria’s Carole Bouzidi and Brazil’s Satila.

Women’s 10m platform: Heartbreak for GB’s Lois Toulson as she finished 13th, the top 12 qualified for the final.

China’s Hongchan Quan and Yuxi Chen are through, one and two on the leader board. GB’s Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix finished third to qualify for Tuesday’s final.

Australia’s Ellie Cole and Melissa Wu also join them.

Kayak cross: The women’s and men’s small finals – determining fifth to eighth – will take place before the finals.

Men’s kayak cross: The second semi sees Czech Republic’s Lukas Rohan in for the disqualified Titouan Castryck.

Oh my word, Rohan is into the final. France’s Boris Neveu had one eye on the finish line and it slows him down on the last gate. Wow. Germany’s Noah Hegge joins him.

Women’s final to come now.

Men’s kayak cross: The first semi-final sees GB’s Joe Clarke start really strongly, he has raced to a good lead here. The lead really helps when it comes to the gates, there is less of a battle around each.

It is Clarke and New Zealand’s Finn Butcher who are through to the semis.

Women’s gymnastics: The USA’s Simone Biles has spoken to reporters after her silver medal win on floor.

She said: “Today has been wild. I’ve been out on that floor so many times this week, so exhaustion sets in… I’m not very upset or anything. I’m happy, proud and even more excited that it’s over.”

Men’s badminton: The gold medal match is happening and Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen has won the first game 21-11 against Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn.

Women’s kayak cross: The second semi-final is stacked full of stars with France’s Angele Hug probably favourite here.

GB’s Kim Woods is battling well and is well ahead at the moment but anything can happen in this sport! But Woods does qualify and Hug does expertly to battle back to a qualification spot. Wow.

No room for a breather, men’s semi-finals inbound.

Women’s 10m platform: In the semi-final there is no change at the top of the leaderboard.

GB’s Lois Toulson is currently 17th, it is just the top 12 who go through to the final.

Women’s kayak cross: The first of the semi-finals here and it is Australia Noemie Fox who gets ahead, this is absolutely electric.

The three behind Fox are in such a close battle but New Zealand’s Luuka Jones picks up a penalty as did Algeria’s Carole Bouzidi. So it is Fox and Germany’s Elena Lilik who are through to the final.

Men’s kayak cross: Well there has been a bit of drama, France’ Titouan Castryck has been pinged for a fault and so his qualification to the semis have been revoked.

Women’s gymnastics: There has been such a touching moment at the women’s floor medal ceremony. The USA’s Jordan Chile and Simone Biles, who won bronze and silver, have put a guard of honour for Rebeca Andrade, who won gold.

Men’s kayak cross: France’s Titouan Castryck and Germany’s Noah Hegge are the last paddlers to qualify for the semis.

This sport does not slow down as we head straight to the women’s semis.

Italy win skeet mixed team gold

Men’s kayak cross: This sport is absolutely crackers, it looks so much fun to participate in. France’s Boris Neveu revs up the crowd as he qualifies for the semi-finals.

Switzerland’s Martin Dougoud joins him from the third quarter-final.

Men’s kayak cross: That has now been confirmed that Ochoa faulted on the final gate and so he is not through to the semis.

In the second is Italy’s Giovanni di Gennaro, who won gold in the individual kayak event. Di Gennaro has an error and he doesn’t qualify. It’s New Zealand’s Finn Butcher and Poland’s Mateusz Polaczyk who will feature in the semi.

Women’s 10m platform: So the semi-finals have just finished the third round of five and the top of the leaderboard hasn’t changed. China’s Hongchan Quan and Yuxi Chen first and second, third is GB’s Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix.

Men’s kayak cross: The quarter-finals are underway in these quarter-finals.

GB’s Joe Clarke is in a real battle with Spain’s Manuel Ochoa and they both look like they are going to go through. Clarke is through but Ochoa has a penalty on the last gate and so Slovakia’s Jakub Grigar is through. That hasn’t been confirmed yet as the judges review the decision. I’ll bring you the confirmation when we have it.

Women’s kayak cross: Mallory Franklin looks devastated after that result, if GB did log a challenge then it has been rejected as the result is now official.

Anthony has emailed me and said:

Hi Sarah, first time I’ve ever seen Kayak Cross. Or It’s a Knockout in a Boat as I’m calling it. It is definitely my favourite new addition to the Olympics. Carnage!

It is such a fun sport isn’t it, it’s one I’d definitely want to try.

Women’s kayak cross: In the last quarter-final France’s Angele Hug had a lovely run, so clean and she is through. GB’s Mallory Franklin thought she had gone through but she is pinged for a fault on the roll gate and so it is Brazil’s Ana Satila who is through.

The semi-finals will take place in just under half an hour.

Men’s badminton: Malaysia’s Zii Jia Lee has won the men’s singles badminton bronze in a brilliant comeback. He lost the first game to India’s Lakshya Sen 21-13 but then won the second and third 21-16 and 21-11 respectively.

Women’s kayak cross: There are quarter-finals happening right now and the first saw Germany’s Elena Lilik and Algeria’s Carole Diana Bouzidi qualify for the semi-final.

In the second Australia’s Noemie Fox and New Zealand’s Luuka Jones through.

The third has just happened and GB’s Kim Woods and Switzerland’s Alena Marx have semi-final spots. One more to go there and then the men’s quarters will get underway.

Women’s gymnastics: So we have official confirmation now. Romania’s Sabrina Maneca-Voinea’s mark did not change. However, Team USA challenged Jordan Chiles’ score and it was bumped up into the bronze medal position.

So Rebeca Andrade wins gold, Biles has silver and Chiles with bronze.

Women’s gymnastics: Will we see Simone Biles at another Olympics? The USA athlete has not confirmed either way but if that is her last outing then that silver medal is her 11th Olympic medal. What an advert she is for the sport.

Women’s gymnastics: Romania’s Sabrina Maneca-Voinea put in a challenge on her score, she currently sits in fourth.

As things stand Simone Biles is in silver position and bronze is the USA’s Jordan Chiles (according to the Olympic website). Chiles initially came in at fifth but she has jumped up.

Andrade wins women’s floor exercise gold

Women’s gymnastics: The USA’s Jordan Chiles is concluding this floor final. She really is a crowd favourite with some elegant moves in her routine. It is also a clean performance.

Can she knock Andrade off the top spot? That will be confirmed shortly.

Women’s gymnastics: So as we recover from the shock of those errors putting Simone Biles into second (shock only coming because Biles is such a star), her feet were out of bounds on two landings and so she was penalised – Romania’s Sabrina Maneca-Voinea has performed a great routine.

She has scored 13.7 and she is in fourth.

Women’s 10m platform: After the first round of dives in the semi-final it is the Chinese pair of Hongchan Quan and Yuxi Chen who are in first and second respectively with GB’s Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix in third.

Women’s gymnastics: Here is Simone Biles and it is the last time we will see her at this Games. Her first move is executed perfectly, she does step out of bounds which will be a slight penalty but her routine has so much pizazz. It just such beautiful gymnastics and she receives a standing ovation and is applauded by Andrade.

She scores 14.133, my word! It isn’t gold, she goes into silver position. Andrade looks stunned.

Men’s badminton: This bronze medal match is being taken into a third game as Malaysia’s Zii Jia Lee has won the second game following his first game loss.

Women’s gymnastics: Alice D’Amato is next and she has already won gold today in the beam, it will take a lot to knock Andrade off the gold position but she could slot onto the podium here.

The Italian has some excellent elements to her routine and only makes a few errors. She scores 13.6 to slot into third.

Women’s gymnastics: Romania’s Ana Barbosu is up now and it is a hauntingly beautiful routine, I say haunting just because of the music chosen.

She receives a huge cheer after her performance. Barbosu scores 13.7 to go second and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade remains in the gold medal position.

Women’s gymnastics: Japan’s Kishi Rina is next up and she moves so eloquently with the music, her twists and flips almost perfectly executed too.

She scores 13.166 and she goes into second position.

Women’s gymnastics: China’s Yushan Ou is now on the floor and she is bringing the artistry here, there are some small errors to the routine but not too many.

A solid performance and she scores 13, slotting into second place.

Women’s gymnastics: Wow, Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade has just put in an absolutely stunning routine. It may have been the cleanest version we have seen from her, which is saying something because she really is in form.

Andrade goes into the lead with a score of 14.166.

Men’s badminton: India’s Sen Lakshya has won the first game against Malaysia’s Zii Jia Lee in the bronze medal match.

Women’s gymnastics: Italy’s Manila Esposito is up first in the women’s floor exercise final but she doesn’t land one of her flips cleanly, landing on her knees. She has a few more errors but while it isn’t completely clean it is styled well.

She scores 12.133 which probably won’t see her medal here.

Women’s 10m platform: The semi-final here is due to start at 2pm BST and it features GB’s Lois Toulson and Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, Canada’s Caeli McKay and China’s Hongchan Quan.

The top 12 will progress to the final.

Women’s gymnastics: The athletes have been introduced to the arena ahead of the women’s floor exercise final, it’s not surprising that Simone Biles gets the biggest cheer – she really is shining.

Cyprus’ Marios Georgiou I don’t know what happened, I just fell. I felt okay in the air but I ended up falling, it is what it is.

“What I can learn from today is to focus until my routine is over.”

Also apologies, the men’s singles badminton is the bronze medal match. India’s Sen Lakshya is leading Malaysia’s Zii Jia Lee 17-11 in the first game.

Novak Djokovic has congratulated his rival and friend Carlos Alcaraz, who he beat in the men’s singles tennis final yesterday:

Women’s gymnastics: This is the last final in the sport at this Games and it contains some stars. Simone Biles, Rebeca Andrade and Manila Esposito among the athletes in this one. Alice D’Amato is also competing, she has already won gold on the beam today.

Here’s some colour from the pool:

We will stay with the gymnastics as we have the women’s floor exercise final up next. I’ll also bring you the updates from the men’s singles badminton gold medal match.

Oka wins men’s horizontal bar gold

Men’s gymnastics: China’s Weide Su, who fell in the team final and didn’t get support by his teammates, is up and he is the last athlete on this apparatus. Everyone is holding their breath with a lot of errors in this final. It is a clean routine but the dismount is messy, he falls to his knees.

I have no clue why this is happening, it’s not just a step but a huge stumble. I don’t think he will challenge for gold.

Men’s gymnastics: Croatia’s Tin Srbic starts so well and it looked promising but then in his next move he falls! He is cheered by the crowd as he returns to the bar to finish his routine. I think he hurt his elbow on his fall and he makes another error, he gets back on the bar to do his dismount.

He scores 11.333 and he looks devastated. This bizarre amount of mistakes in this final continues. One athlete to go.
