Jess Fox has her second gold after an incredible display in the canoe slalom.

Menâ\x80\x99s gymnastics: Jake Jarman, in the lead after the first apparatus, is on the pommel horse. He shows fine control after a nervy start and spins at speed, finishing with a fine handstand and finish. The scores are in â\x80¦ 14.066. That is good after an early error.

Womenâ\x80\x99s football: Joe Pearson emails: â\x80\x9cIâ\x80\x99ve got the womenâ\x80\x99s soccer on another screen. In stoppage time of the 1st half, Marta picked up a straight red for a very dangerous challenge. Is this her Olympics career over?â\x80\x9d

Fox first, Lilik second and Leibfarth third. A surprising podium for pretty much everyone.

Jess Fox wins women\'s C1 canoe slalom

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Satkova is the final challenger. But she pings in to gate 2 and gets a penalty. That is game over. She loses it at gate 8, too. A bad start for Satkova and thereâ\x80\x99s no way back. She ploughs on but it all falls apart and she gets over the line in deflated fashion with 114.22.

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Here comes the French-born favourite Jess Fox. She is looking quick through the first eight gates. This some fine work from the Australian who is perfect through 17 and 18. She comes through in 99.06 to go first. What a performance. She is oh so close to a second gold of these Olympics.

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Andorraâ\x80\x99s Doria Vilarrubla flies out of the traps and pings into gates 1 and 2, which is not great. Another at 7 makes life impossible for the Andorran. It is 113.58 for her in the end.

Lilik is now guaranteed a medal but which colour?

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: We have four more to come, starting with Hocevar. She completely loses it around gate 7 and leaves her completely out of contention at that stage because she has to turn back to go a long way back. She keeps battling but is well off the pace and comes in with 115.48 seconds.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Satila of Brazil heads into the water. Sheâ\x80\x99s left with a lot of time to make up from early on but she cannot do it. Her time is 112.70 and she looks exhausted and a little annoyed with herself.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Here comes Franklin for Team GB. She has a hard act to follow. The union jacks are out in the stands. It is a smooth start and but gets a penalty at gate 7. She keeps losing time as the course goes on and adds another penalty at 14. In the end, she leaves herself too much to do thanks to a few minor mistakes. She ends up with six seconds of penalties and a time of 115.15. There will be no medal for her.

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Germanyâ\x80\x99s Lilik offers speed and control through the first few gates and is up at the first checkpoint. The crowd recognise the quality of this run and are on their feet, making themselves heard. It is almost perfect from Lilik powers through to finish on 103.54. Lilik is screaming with delight, she knows her time will be hard to be beat.

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Vikoriia Us heads out now. She picks up a penalty on gate 7 and loses a lot of momentum leaving her a long way behind the lead and ends up with 117.98.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Pankova is aiming to provide Slovakia with a second medal. She, unlike many, gets through gate 2 cleanly. Pankova was looking very smooth until late on when a small mistake costs her seconds. She receives no penalties but still ends up with 111.07.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Lazkano from San Sebastian heads with great intent. She has the power to give herself a chance of a medal but picks up a couple of penalties early on. The crowd try to get her going but her challenge is done before the halfway stage. Six penalty seconds put last with 116.97 seconds.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Marx of Switzerland takes a deep breath at the start and sets sail. The stopper causes her a few problems and it keeps her off the pace, which she cannot make up against Leibfarth, ending with 114.61 seconds.

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Itâ\x80\x99s also a big race for Australian paddler Jess Fox, her countryâ\x80\x99s flag bearer, after she qualified second fastest at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium. The 30-year-old is defending the gold medal she won in the event in Tokyo, and hopes to add to her Paris haul after claiming the kayak crown three days ago.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: Leibfarth is the first onto the course. The American has a bit of a battle in the early stages but manages to plot her course through the water. She gets a very respectable time of 109.95 with one penalty, which is about eight seconds quicker than her semi run.

Share

Womenâ\x80\x99s canoe slalom: The final 12 are preparing for their runs that could end with gold. Team GB have Mallory Franklin as their hope. She had the sixth fastest time in the semi-final.

At the Paris Games, riders have already been eliminated from competition on welfare grounds. On Tuesday, the Olympic debut of the US teamâ\x80\x99s Marcus Orlob was terminated midway for blood on his horseâ\x80\x99s leg, which he attributed to an accidental knock. Earlier, Italyâ\x80\x99s Emiliano Portale was likewise excluded after his horse was found to be bleeding from the mouth post-competition.

Menâ\x80\x99s gymnastics: We will have the artistic gymnastics soon enough. Jake Jarman or Joe Fraser are Team GBâ\x80\x99s medal hopes. They qualified fifth and sixth, so will need to improve if they are to get on the podium. Each competitor performs on all the apparatus (vault, pommel horse, rings, pommel horse, floor and high bar). Will be a fun watch for sure.

Hello everyone! There is plenty going on around Paris and beyond, so itâ\x80\x99s a good time to check on the schedule.

Will Unwin is here to take up the cudgels. Thanks for your time and your attention and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Swimming: Despite appearing to win his heat earlier today and qualify for the semi-final, Great Britainâ\x80\x99s Luke Greenbank was disqualified from the menâ\x80\x99s 200m backstroke competition for breaking a little-known rule.

A bronze medallist in Tokyo, Greenbankâ\x80\x99s was adjudged to have swam further than the permitted 15 metres underwater at the start of the race and was slung out of the competition.

Womenâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: The womenâ\x80\x99s BMX park event has given us the first major shakeup in the USA-v-China medal-count contest. Simply put, five-time world champion Hannah Roberts was expected to win. Chinaâ\x80\x99s Deng Yawen was not.

The US projection for gold medals has now dropped from the pre-Games number of 48 all the way down to 43. China, though, are also trailing their projection â\x80\x93 down from 40 to 38. While China surprised at the BMX park, they were a stunning sixth in the womenâ\x80\x99s quadruple sculls. Easy come, easy go.

Cycling: Luke Plapp, the Australian cyclist who suffered a horror crash during the individual menâ\x80\x99s time trial on the slick streets of Paris on Saturday, has been discharged from hospital, the Australian Olympic Committee said on Wednesday.

Plapp underwent abdominal surgery to treat the injuries he sustained but is now back in the Olympic Village, where the AOC say he will be monitored by team medical staff for at least the next few days. Needless to say, Plapp has no hope of competing again at these Games, and he has been replaced by Ben Oâ\x80\x99Connor for the road race.

Canoe slalom: A silver medallist at Tokyo, Great Britainâ\x80\x99s Mallory Franklin has comfortably qualified for the final in sixth place in a semi-final won by the Czech Republicâ\x80\x99s Gabriela Satkova, who finished ina time of 1205.55 seconds. Australiaâ\x80\x99s Jessica Fox came second, while Andorraâ\x80\x99s Monica Doria Vilarrubla was third.

\'Auntieâ\x80\x99 Ni, 61, beams as she bows out

Table tennis: On Monday, Luxembourgâ\x80\x99s Ni Xia Lian, who was born on 4 July 1963, became the oldest competitor in the history of the Olympics to win a table tennis match when she beat the 31-year-old Turkish player Sibel Altinkaya. Today, the 61-year-old was beaten by the world No1. Andy Bull reports from the South Paris Arena â\x80¦

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Before we check whatâ\x80\x99s going on elsewhere, itâ\x80\x99s worth noting that a whiff of controversy sour grapes has descended over this event, the suggestion being that the judges went too big too early and were subsequently forced to dial down their scores as the competition progressed towards its latter stages.

As the third rider out, the suggestion from the BBC commentators is that Jose Torres Gil may have benefitted from the juryâ\x80\x99s early largesse but I think thatâ\x80\x99s a rather harsh assessment of what Iâ\x80\x99ve just seen. To these admittedly untrained eyes, Gil was a more than worthy winner.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Another man under pressure after a bad first run, USAâ\x80\x99s Marcus Christopher rather redeems himself second time out but doesnâ\x80\x99t look to have done enough to force his way into the top three. He hasnâ\x80\x99t â\x80\x93 he goes fourth.

Now guaranteed a silver medal, Kieran Reilly of Great Britain is the only rider who can ، gold from our unlikely leader Jose Torres Gil from Argentina.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Having made a mess of his first run, Team USAâ\x80\x99s Justin Dowell abandons his second run halfway through, having clearly decided that it wasnâ\x80\x99t going well enough to trouble the podium. Moments later, the defending champion, Logan Martin, is also forced to abandon his second run after messing up a landing.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Having made a complete dogâ\x80\x99s breakfast of his opening run, Franceâ\x80\x99s Anthony Jeanjean does much, much better in his second under the most incredible pressure. He scores 93.76 to go into the silver medal position and the crowd arenâ\x80\x99t hugely impressed with the judges. They think he should have got more â\x80¦

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: I canâ\x80\x99t take my eyes off this weird world of windscreen wipers, triple-bars, double whips, downside whip transfers, wing-spreading, big tuck no-handers, double-tails, kick-throughs, double allez-oops and bar spins, so if youâ\x80\x99re hoping for updates from the dressage in the next 30 minutes or so, youâ\x80\x99re going to be disappiointed. Japanâ\x80\x99s Rim Nakamura moves into the bronze medal position.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Argentinaâ\x80\x99s Jose Torres Gil, the current leader has just had his second run. Can he improve on his opening score of 94.82. The verdict comes in â\x80\x93 no, he canâ\x80\x99t. He gets 92.12. With six riders left to drop, he faces an anxious wait to see if he can stay on the podium.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Kieran Reilly makes no mistake and absolutely nails his opening run, bringing the crowd to their feet with an incredible performance. The judges arenâ\x80\x99t quite as impressed as everyone else and put him into the silver medal postion with a score of 93.70.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: The standard has just plummetted as Franceâ\x80\x99s Anthony Jeanjean, Australiaâ\x80\x99s Logan Martin (the defending Olympic champion) and the USA Marcus Christopher have just completely messed up their opening runs one after the other.

Theyâ\x80\x99re all among the favourites and the upshot is that three of the lowest ranked qualifiers currently occupy the top three places. Kieran Reilly is the only man left to drop in the first run.

An email: â\x80\x9cJust finished watching the womenâ\x80\x99s BMX,â\x80\x9d writes Espen B. â\x80\x9cSome absolutely jaw dropping skills there. Got to say I absolutely love all the â\x80\x98newâ\x80\x99 sports like skateboarding, BMX, and surfing. I have no idea what the judges are looking for but they are all a ton of fun to watch and the tricks the athletes are performing are ridiculously impressive.â\x80\x9d

Iâ\x80\x99m n ot sure what the judges are looking for after but I live very near a skate park and the most impressive trick Iâ\x80\x99ve seen anyone do on a board or BMX is clear the surrounding wall, fly into the middle of the busy adjacent road and somehow avoid getting hit by an oncoming double-decker bus. I remember giving the unidentified lunatic in question a very high mark in my head.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Weâ\x80\x99re three riders into the competition and just like in the womenâ\x80\x99s competition, the standard is little short of breathtaking.

Not one of our nine finallists has put a foot wrong yet and three of the opening four have scored in the 90s. Each rider gdets two runs and the highest single score wins. Argentinaâ\x80\x99s Jose Torres Gil is the early clubhouse leader and Kieran Reilly goes last of the nine.

Menâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle is under way: And Great Britainâ\x80\x99s Kieran Reilly is the hot favourite to win it. By a considerable distance, he was best of the qualifiers yesterday.

Womenâ\x80\x99s BMX Freestyle: Australian rider Natalya Diehm won bronze in the womenâ\x80\x99s BMX freestyle in sweltering Parisian conditions in the shadow of the Luxor Obelisk.

Diehm posted a score of 88.80 in her first ride, the first full run of the final after Franceâ\x80\x99s Laury Perez crashed at the start of her opener. Diehm then faced an anxious wait as the rest of the field competed, only Chinaâ\x80\x99s Deng Yawen bettering the Australianâ\x80\x99s score in the first round and American Perris Benegas in the second (only a riderâ\x80\x99s best single score counts). Diehmâ\x80\x99s second run, an 87.70, was not enough to change her position.

Menâ\x80\x99s triathlon: Matt Hauserâ\x80\x99s seventh place finish in the menâ\x80\x99s triathlon earlier was the best Olympic finish for an Australian man since 2004.

The 26-year-old left the River Seine swim leg in third and was among the leading pack in the cycling. Although he fell leading into the second transition, he recovered in the run and finished 44 seconds behind winner Alex Yee from Team GB.

â\x80\x9cI really wanted a medal, and I knew I was capable of that on my day, it just wasnâ\x80\x99t my day today,â\x80\x9d said Hauser, who was the best placed of Australiaâ\x80\x99s four triathletes in action across the menâ\x80\x99s and womenâ\x80\x99s events on Wednesday.

The group has been taking antibiotics in a bid to combat the risk of swimming in the Seine, and is now preparing for the mixed relay on Monday.

Cas dismisses Canada points deduction appeal

Womenâ\x80\x99s football: To the surprise of precisely nobody, including â\x80\x93 one imagines â\x80\x93 themselves, Canada have had their somewhat ludicrous appeal against a six points deduction imposed for using a drone to spy on a rivalâ\x80\x99s training session dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The reigning champions have won their first two matchers to get back to zero points and could still qualify for the knockout stages if they beat Colombia in their final group game.

Fifa docked Canada six points and banned their British coach Bev Priestman from all football-related activities for a year after Canadian staff were spotted flying a drone over a New Zealand training session ahead of the opening match between the two nations.

BMX freestyle: The womenâ\x80\x99s competition has just concluded and Chinaâ\x80\x99s Deng Yawen has won the gold medal ahead of USAâ\x80\x99s Perris Benegas and Australiaâ\x80\x99s Natalya Diehm.

Tokyo 2020 British gold medalist Charlotte Worthington failed to qualify for the final this time around, while the USAâ\x80\x99s Hannah Roberts has come up short in her second successive Olympics after failing to deliver on her final run while still in contention for the gold.

Thanks Will. Itâ\x80\x99s been quite the day for Team GB so far, what with them adding more metal to their medal tally than youâ\x80\x99d find at a Monsters of Rock festival.

Whether or not we get the same kind of drama this afternoon remains to be seen. Coming up: BMX Freestyle (womenâ\x80\x99s and menâ\x80\x99s finals), canoe slalom, menâ\x80\x99s gymnastics and swimming among other disciplines.
