Key occasions Show essential occasions just Please switch on JavaScript to utilize this function Climbing: Men’s stone and lead last– Frenchman Paul Jenft makes a bad mistake and lacks clips on the wall, indicating he needs to try to re-trace his actions which looks difficult and eventually shows so as he topples off after a number of minutes. A rueful smile and a gallic shrug. Problem for the crowd preferred however great news for Hamish McArthur who stays in Silver medal position for the minute. Diving: Just glimpsing far from the bouldering last to bring you news that Team GB’s Kyle Kothari and Noah Williams have actually made it through to the males’s 10m platform semi-finals. Certifying in 9th and 8th location respectively in a field (board?) of 18 rivals. The last is tomorrow at 2pm BST. Sports: Alexandra Topping sends out an upgrade from the arena as she watches on KJT’s primary competitor for the Gold medal in the ladies’s Heptathlon: Well, Thiam might simply have actually taken gold with her very first include the javelin – an enormous 54.04, a season best for the Belgian, which provides her a huge 939. A champ there, informing this crowd that she wishes to hang on to her title. Unbelievable things. If she does not toss even more than that, and she absolutely might do, she will be 121 ahead of Katarina Johnson-Thompson entering into the 800m. KJT is quicker than her competitor because discipline, however that will make Thiam extremely hard to beat.” Climbing up: Men’s stone and lead last – I can hardly enjoy this really, some inner vertigo increasing to the surface area from deep within. Group GB’s Hamish McArthur is producing some major Spiderman energy as he twists and extends each sinew to climb this ruthless wall. He does actually well to enter into the difficult looking 4th area and hangs from one hand at one point, muscles bulging, before lastly slipping off with absolutely nothing delegated give up the arms. He ratings a 72 from the judges (out of 100) that’s a fantastic marker put down by McArthur. The USA’s Colin Duffy is up next and he can’t rather make it as far, scoring a 68. Big cheer from the crowd as Frenchman Paul Jenft chalks up for his effort. Climbing up: Bouldering! As a boy of the Peak District where individuals flock to do this ‘au naturel’ I am extremely interested to see how this occasion goes. There’s a 15 metre wall with a high overhang that the rivals have 6 minutes to study before they then get another 6 minutes to climb up– generally the greater you get the much better your rating. Toby Roberts and Hamish McArthur being in 3rd and 4th location for Team GB. McArthur is going to be the very first to try the wall, there’s a complete and loud crowd in. Chalk those hands, let’s grip. Sports: Team GB’s Cindy Sember falls in the last heat of the females’s 100m difficulties semi-finals. Sember clipped the 5th difficulty and after that fell directly into the 6th, that looked very agonizing and is a genuine pity for her. She may not have actually been always challenging the credentials locations and now she’ll never ever truly understand. She had a good start and existed and thereabouts when she fell. She then reveals some genuine class by picking up a couple of words with the BBC simply seconds after choosing herself up off the track. “I’m truly unfortunate. I felt prepared. Actually unfortunate today.” Sport is ruthless in some cases. ‘” Scenes” e-mails Nick Parish who is taking pleasure in the Table Tennis: “At the South Paris Arena where France are handling Japan for the bronze medal in the guys’s group table tennis. The environment is electrical and the crowd went crazy when French wunderkind (exists a French equivalent for that?) Felix LeBrun conserved 3 match points on his method to taking the 2nd match and putting France 2-0 up in this finest of 5. Ever since Japan have actually pulled one back, much to the dissatisfaction of the home crowd.” The French crowds have actually been fantastic throughout, from archery to diving to Greco-Roman battling the enthusiastic assistance has actually been noteworthy and the environment in the primary arena splendidly raucous. Alexis Lebrun and Simon Gauzy of France Photograph: Niviere David/Shutterstock Thanks Taha and hi all. What a great video games this has actually been and today (day 14!) guarantees to be a belter. Plenty going on all over the city. From a Team GB perspective– KJT has actually searched in great fettle today and really unwinded. Fingers, toes and Javelin poles crossed she can bring home a medal from her 4th Olympic video games. It’ll all boil down to the 800 metres on the track at 19.15 pm BST this night. Then, I’m hopping off for a bit. In comes my excellent friend James Wallace. Rachel Savage Sport climbing up: At the end of very first half of the guys’s stone and lead last, Japan’s 17-year-old star Sorato Anraku is leading with 69.3 points, with USA’s Colin Duffy close behind on 68.3 points. Group GB’s Toby Roberts remains in 3rd put on 63.1 points. All 3 climbers topped 2 out of the 4 stones, while GB’s Hamish McArthur in 4th location topped one and has 53.9 points. 2 older legends of the sport, Austria’s Jakob Schubert and Czechia’s Adam Ondra, are even more out of touch in 5th and seventh location. Alexandra Topping Athletics: That’s another season-best toss from KJT for her last effort at the javelin, and she has actually handled up her last rating to 45.49– that offers her an additional 16 points. Every centimetre counts in this competitors, she is digging deep here when it matters and it appears like the 31-year-old is figured out to take this battle to Thiam. Do not forget however, Thiam can toss 50 on a regular day, her season finest is 53. Sports: GB will have a male in the 800m last, with Max Burgin setting up an individual finest of 1:43.50 to certify with the very best time of a third-place finisher in the semis. Sports: Katarina Johnson-Thompson sets up a season finest of 45.49 with her 3rd effort at the javelin, tossing down an obstacle to Thiam. Noor Vidts, likewise in medal contention, has actually provided an individual finest of 43.83. Sports: In the 2nd 800m males’s semi-final, Team GB have Elliot Giles as their agent and he begins well before dropping to 4th at the 400m mark. Edmund du Plessis leads as we get in the home directly however loses his drive as Marco Arop bursts through for success, with Gabriel Tual of France 2nd. Giles winds up 5th, du Plessis 4th. Sports: The 800m guys’s semi-finals start, with Team GB represented by Ben Pattison, who needs to go for 4th location as Algeria’s Djamel Sedjati bursts through on the last straight to win the heat and get approved for the last. Sports: The javelin area of the heptathlon begins, and KJT begins with a good 44.64 m toss. Thiam, hot on her heels, will be up later on and has a season-best of 53.00. KJT enters the javelin. Photo: Matthias Schräder/ AP Athletics: In the 2nd heat of the 4×400 guys’s relay there’s home pleasure, with France triumphant and followed by Nigeria and Belgium. A concern: what would you do prior to the start of an Olympic race when the video camera pans to you for an introduction? I’m choosing this: Athletics: In the males’s 4x400m relays, Team GB surface 2nd in their heat, with Matthew Hudson-Smith running his leg, the 2nd, in 43.90. Botswana win it, with USA 3rd. CAS to hear wrestler Phogat’s appeal after disqualification Ewan Murray The unbelievable case of Vinesh Phogat will get in another chapter today. The Court of Arbitration for Sport has actually accepted hear the Indian wrestler’s appeal versus disqualification before the gold medal match, after Phogat weighed 100 grams over the designated 50kg. Phogat, who cut off her hair in a quote to make the weight, got compassion from the prime minister of India. Phogat consequently revealed her retirement from the sport. Phogat and the Indian Olympic Association think she must be granted a joint silver medal. CAS will sit for the case in Paris at 2pm. Sports: After the ladies’s 4x400m relay heats up, we have our finalists. U.S.A. and Jamaica were triumphant in their particular races, with GB, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland and Canada likewise through. U.S.A.’s quartet of Hayes-Little-Butler-Brown acquired the greatest time of 3:21.44. Johnson-Thompson stays leading in heptathlon … in the meantime Alexandra Topping It has actually been a tense early morning at the Stade de France, where Katarina Johnson-Thompson was intending to keep her over night lead entering into the last 3 occasions of the heptathlon. After 4 occasions the other day she had actually ended up the day with a lead of 48 points, with her veteran competing Nafissatou Thiam of Belgium in 2nd with 4,007 and the more youthful American opposition Anna Hall in 3rd with 3,956. KJT has actually kept her hopes alive, after an unsteady start in the long dive. With her 3rd of 3 dives she signed up 6.40, while Thiam made 6.41– somewhat narrowing the 48-point distinction in between them to 45. It was nervy things here. Johnson-Thompson– who has a 6.93 individual finest in this discipline– missed her very first dive, signing up just 4.65. She handled 6.04 on her 2nd, signing up ball game with a frown. Much better for the 3rd though, making her finest dive of the early morning with 6.40. For now it’s still Johnson-Thompson in initially, Thiam in 2nd, and the Belgian Noor Vidts has actually gone into 3rd 104 points behind the leader, after Hall just signed up 5.93 in the long dive. Next up it’s the javelin, among Thiam’s greatest disciplines and among KJT’s weakest. Could this all boiled down to the 800m last tonight? Interesting! Katarina Johnson-Thompson still leads the heptathlon after the long dive. Photo: David Levene/The Guardian Heptathlon: Into the last round of the long dive and Martha Araujo of Colombia ratings an incredible 6.61 m, her individual finest and the very best of this occasion up until now. Johnson-Thompson bounds in … and ratings 6.40 m. She does not look delighted with herself however that’s a strong dive, taking her back to the top of the total standings … in the meantime. Heptathlon: After the preliminary, the Belgian Noor Vidts has the very best effort, with a 6.40 m dive. GB’s Jade O’Dowda is second-best with 6.33. Here comes KJT for her 2nd go … she surpasses the six-metre line however does not look finest happy, scoring 6.04 m. The eyes then transfer to her competitor, Nafi Thiam, who enhances on her previous effort with 6.41. KJT’s in a little trouble. Heptathlon: Johnson-Thompson sprints in for her very first effort at the long dive … and she does not fly. Something fails in her run-up and she winds up simply hopping instead of jumping, scoring a 4.65 m dive. Katarina Johnson-Thompson does not rather land her very first effort. Photo: Dylan Martinez/Reuters Heptathlon: As we prepare to begin the long dive, it’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson who leads the total board with 4055 points, constructing a 48-point lead over Nafissatou Thiam. Anna Hall is 3rd on 3956 points. Johnson-Thompson’s individual finest in the long dive is 6.93 metres, greater than all of her fellow rivals. What’s there to anticipate you ask? The next medal available remains in the guys’s group table tennis, with France contending versus Japan for a bronze medal (9am BST). From a Team GB point of view, Katarina Johnson-Thompson will require to the field in the females’s heptathlon, with the long dive occasion beginning at 5 previous 9. A guide to the newcomer at Paris 2024: breaking. It begins today. Golf: The 3rd round is underway in the females’s specific strokeplay. Morgane Metraux is at the top of the total leaderboard with -8, with China’s Yin Ruoning tracking her by one shot. Nelly Korda, the world No 1, is on -2 after a devastating 16th hole on Thursday, striking a quadruple bogey. Kristof Rasovszky wins gold in the males’s 10km swim! The goal remains in sight and the imperious Kristof Rasovszky does not let his lead slip, in spite of the ruthless pressure from Oliver Klemet. The Hungarian world champ takes Olympic gold, with Germany’s Klemet second and David Betlehem, likewise from Hungary, taking bronze in front of Domenico Acerenza. Kristof Rasovszky wins gold for Hungary! Photo: Mauro Pimentel/AFP/Getty Images Marathon swimming: Just wish to put this out there: this is an absurd thing to subject your body to. 2 hours of going complete pelt in the water; my arms are tingling simply thinking of it. Marathon swimming: The leaders pass the 9.2 km mark in the guys’s 10km race, and they’re working versus the present. Italy’s Domenico Acerenza has actually closed that space in between 2nd and 3rd and is strongly in contention to trigger the leading 2 of Rasovszky and Klemet some genuine sorrow. This is some severe squeaky-bum time. Marathon swimming: Morning to all those awakening in the UK. This males’s 10km swim is nearing the close, with a considerable space now in between the leading 2 and the rest. In front is Kristof Rasovszky, with Oliver Klemet right behind him. Rasovszky took silver in Tokyo, which undoubtedly increases the desperation to complete initially this time round. The guys’s 10km marathon has actually now been choosing 90 minutes and these professional athletes remain in the red zone for discomfort and fatigue. Gregorio Paltrinieri is the very first casualty and has actually slipped back into 6th. I am the other significant casualty. I, Angus Fontaine (alas, no relation to Logan Fontaine still sitting 6th), am formally tapping out and generating Taha Hashim to bring this race home. Thanks for your business and take pleasure in the surface! As Brazil’s Guillerme Costa taps out and ends up being another casualty of this gruelling 10km swim, we have the Tokyo medallists repeating their supremacy here in Paris. Kristóf Rasovszky from Hungary still sits very first with Germany’s Florian Wellbrock 2nd and Italian stallion Gregorio Paltrinieri 3rd. The other members of this lead pack are digging deep to overhall that trio with brio. Italy’s Domenico Acerenza, Germany’s Oliver Klemet and another Hungarian in David Betlehem are going up and Team GB’s Hector Pardoe has actually moved into seventh. Australia’s Nick Sloman has actually fallen back however holding on inside this leading 10. I think golf is gruelling in its own method and the 3rd round of the ladies’s private strokeplay is preparing yourself to tee off … Competitors near the surface in the guys’s 10km marathon at Pont Alexandre III. Picture: Mike Egerton/PA Another lead modification! Now it’s Kristóf Rasovszky at the front of the pack with a 2.3 2nd lead over Wellbrock. We saw this occur in the ladies’s occasion where, practically by shared permission, the professional athletes in very first and 2nd took turns breaking the water for the other. Another swimmer has actually left the field, with Spain’s Carlos Garach Benito tapping out with fatigue. He is presently hanging onto a steward’s surf board and plainly in distress. We’ve likewise seen a yellow card handed to Frenchman Marc-Antoine Olivier for over-zealous contact with a competitor. 3 of these and he’s outta here. It’s a sure indication this race is coming down to business end … Spectators enjoy the 10km marathon swim from behind a barrier. Picture: Daniel Irungu/EPA The lead pack in this 10km marathon enjoys lap 4 and now numbers 6 swimmers and its leader, Florian Wellbrock, appears to have actually made his relocation. The German champ has actually risen past Kristóf Rasovszky and is now 2.4 seconds in front of the Hungarian. In the pack are and Oliver Klemet and the Italian duo of Domenico Acerenza and Gregorio Paltrinieri. The last member of that lot is a Frenchman Marc-Antoine Olivier. Australia’s Nick Sloman has actually moved into seventh however he beings in that peloton pack and is 8 seconds off Wellbrock’s rate. His compatriot Kyle Lee is 14th and Team GB’s Hector Pardoe is moving well and is now in 10th. Australia’s Kyle Lee beverages throughout the males’s 10km marathon swim at Pont Alexandre III in Paris. Picture: Mauro Pimentel/AFP/Getty Images Yesterday’s 10km silver-medallist, Australia’s Moesha Johnson, has actually awakened with numerous cuts and scratches along her arms and hands from contact with the reeds lining the banks of the Seine. Obviously race organisers have actually pruned that plant over night so the guys have just the rugged walls– and each other– to compete with. That tussle for supremacy has actually seen a lot of blood tinting the whitewater whip of rivals and it’s now turned actual, leading to the disqualification of Turkish swimmer Kuzey Tuncelli who appears to have actually breached the laws that determine that “A swimmer might not make deliberate encouraging contact with any vessel, item, or assistance workers at any time throughout the swim.” Tuncelli was being in 24th at the time. The lead pack are hugging those walls now and it’s the green cap of Kristóf Rasovszky heading the field with Florian Wellbrock looming big in 2nd and Gregorio Paltrinieri from Italy biding his time in 3rd. The guys’s 10km marathon swim at Pont Alexandre III on day 14 of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Picture: Mike Egerton/PA As the field in the 10km marathon rounds the bend for the 3rd lap, it is Kristóf Rasovszky who has actually nabbed back the lead. The 27-year-old Hungarian is a legend in his homeland after winning the silver medal in this occasion at the 2020 Olympic Games. The chap snapping at this heels is a lot more accomplished. Florian Wellbrock is a previous world record holder in the brief course 1500m freestyle, a world champ a number of times over and a European champ into the deal. The Bremen Bullet’s very first Olympic medal was a bronze in the 1500m in Tokyo. He went 2 much better a couple of days later on winning this 10km occasion in 1:48:33.7 – 25 seconds quicker than Rasovszky in 2nd. Wellbrock is the male to beat today however today he’s still 2nd behind Rasovszky. Germany’s Florian Wellbrock swims in the Seine river throughout the guys’s 10km marathon swim. Photo: Dimitar Dilkoff/AFP/Getty Images The guys are now swimming upstream in lap 2 of the 10km race and stay securely bunched with 10 seconds separating very first and 10th location. Kristof Rasovszky has actually nabbed back ascendancy and the German duo Florian Wellbrock and Oliver Klemet are riding his wake in 2nd and 3rd with an Italian duo in Domenico Acerenza and Gregorio Paltrinieri making a charge for the pointy end of the field. This front pack is heading upstream and hugging the plant-fringed banks of the Seine, running the risk of the snags of the vines and the jags on the walls. The other day we saw Australia’s Moesha Johnson hit a tire and lose essential seconds on ultimate leader however luckily the only crashes up until now have actually been in between the swimmers themselves. Thankfully there’s an officious Frenchman blowing a whistle at them. Well done monsieur, that must guarantee they desist! Germany’s Oliver Klemet fights the effective currents of the Seine in the 10km marathon swim. Photo: Mauro Pimentel/AFP/Getty Images Australia has 2 rivals in this swim: Nick Sloman and Kyle Lee. Sloman is a three-time nationwide champ and got 5th at the World Championships in Doha to receive these Paris Games. The Sunshine Coast young boy made his very first venture into global competitors at the 2018 Pan-Pacific Championships in Tokyo, where he protected a bronze medal in the 10km open water occasion. The 26-year-old Sloman has actually given that developed himself as an open water swimming giant, with gold and silver at the FINA Marathon Swim World Series in 2019 and 2 silver and one bronze medal in 2022. For all that Sloman states: My preferred memory is winning bronze in the 25m butterfly (for) six-seven-year-old kids at my very first swimming carnival. Here in Paris Sloman sits 11th and Lee 13th with Germany’s Florian Wellbrock leading and Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri 2nd and Kristof Rasovszky from Hungary hanging hard in 3rd. German Oliver Klemet has actually taken his area in 4th with Athanasios Charalampos from Greece in 5th and my French sibling Logan Fontaine in 6th. Germany’s Florian Wellbrock is an early leader in the 10km marathon swim in Paris’s river Seine.

Gregorio Paltrinieri from Italy is 3rd and regional hope Marc-Antoine Olivier is swimming magnificently in 4th. I hope he captured Elle Hunt’s amazing function story last night … Our early leader in the 10km marathon swim is Kristof Rasovszky from Hungary although Florian Wellbrock from Germany is nipping at his heels. They heads a frenzied pack of swimmers who are swimming downstream in lap one. The females did this leg in simply over 6 minutes however the guys have actually handled it in simply over 5. Of couyrse, the effort now starts as the field heads upstream, into the existing. This leg took 2.5 times longer for the ladies the other day. My spies at the Seine state the existing is somewhat less than what it was the other day and the water temperature level is up from 22 to 23 today. Professional athletes swim in the Seine throughout the males’s 10km marathon swimming at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Picture: Dimitar Dilkoff/AFP/Getty Images We move now to the live action in the males’s 10km marathon swim in the Seine. The rivals have actually been patiently necking hydration gels and bacteria-beating ingredients on the blocks. We have 31 professional athletes handling the river’s terrible currents in the mission for gold. They’re relocating to the edge of the intrude preparedness … they’re OFF and RACING! A queen of the Paris track was crowned last night when Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone clinched Team USA’s 100th medal of these Olympics– a gold in the 400m obstacles with a world record included for great procedure. Bryan Armen Graham penned this fantastic piece over night: McLaughlin-Levrone, who turned 25 on Wednesday, very first broke the 400m difficulties world record at the 2021 United States Olympic trials, shattered it at the Tokyo Games and has actually reduced it 4 more times given that, consisting of by almost three-tenths of a 2nd on Thursday night. In doing so, she ended up being the very first American to maintain an Olympic title in a private track race given that Michael Johnson’s back-to-back 400m golds in 1996 and 2000. Her gaining time of 50.37 sec would have benefited 3rd in the 2nd 400m flat semi-final on Wednesday. The owner of 7 of the 400m obstacles’ 13 fastest times ever, it’s been more than 5 years considering that she lost in case. Smooth, so effective, not a squandered motion. When these Paris Olympics end on Sunday I’m going to miss out on picture galleries like this … Raven Saunders dressed up for the shot put. Photo: Dylan Martinez/Reuters Raven Saunders made a splash throughout the ladies’s shot put certification by appearing in a full-face black mask and sunglasses, in addition to colored green and purple hair. “I’m in complete kind,” the American stated of the attire. “I needed to advise individuals, I am who I am.” Mentioning United States supremacy of basketball, Serbia practically managed among the all-time Olympics upsets when they had the males’s “Dream Team” on the rack and 76-62 down at the start of the last quarter of last night’s semi-final. Entering the Paris Games, the United States had actually won gold in 8 of the last 10 Olympics, with their last stumble can be found in 2004 when they won bronze. Thankfully, Steph Curry pertained to the rescue … Kevin Durant and LeBron James hail Steph Curry after the USA scraped previous Serbia in the semi-final.

Rather, at every turn, Jackson and her Opals colleagues have actually been foiled by Team USA whom they fulfill tonight in the semi-final at Bercy Arena. Can they snap the hoodoo and send out Lauren out a winner? Kieran Pender asks: why not? The gush of gold Australia has actually experienced at these Paris Olympics has actually lastly slowed to a drip. Not that the green and gold army will be resting on the laurels of their 18 gold up until now. They have a couple of ironmen and ironwomen in the fire on Day 14 … Australia’s Moesha Johnson led for the majority of the 10km marathon just to be beaten in the last 200m. Photo: Clive Rose/Getty Images The very first occasion of Day 14 will be the males’s 10km marathon swim in the Seine. If the other day’s females’s occasion was anything to pass, the chaps remain in for a hard day.

That method worked in preventing the worst of the swirls and eddies however likewise led to a lot of skinned knuckles and skinned feet. If you like blood in the water with your sweat and tears this is the occasion for you. In the end, Australia’s Moesha Johnson was beaten in the home stretch by Netherlands iron-woman Sharon van Rouwendaal. Silver-medallist Johnson was thoughtful in defeat and saluted her training partner: I understood coming under that bridge too, no matter which method I took, Sharon may have taken the other alternative,’ Johnson states. ‘I believe we’ve simply been together in training through some bumpy rides, and to be there together on the podium simply implies a lot. ‘Amazing relocation’: Moesha Johnson on the minute training partner passed her for Olympic gold– video If you’re a sports fan for whom excessive sport is never ever adequate and yet the athletic endeavour associated with clicking through this link is an effort too far, here’s your Day 14 buffet of blood, sweat and tears in a useful wish list cut, pasted and bolded.
