Paris 2024 Olympics LIVE: Imane Khelif is back in action following controversial win over Angela Carini and Dina Asher-Smith is in 100m final action on day eight

A heartbreaking moment for Team GB’s hopeful Jeremiah Azu, who faced disqualification for a false start in the first heat of the men’s 100m.

The gold medals are hoisted aloft during the men’s eight ceremony.

Great Britain now sits in fourth place on the medal table, boasting ten medals compared to the United States’ nine.

The iconic musician is seen watching the dressage events, and you’d be forgiven for thinking he’s participating with his outfit.

Adam Peaty is set to return to the pool this morning, according to Swim England.

He’s entering the men’s 4 x 100m medley relay heats after having tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this week, causing him to miss the mixed 4 x 100m medley relay heats.

Fans can tune in at 11.40am to catch his performance.

Team GB has had an outstanding rowing Olympics – three golds, two silvers, and three bronzes. This represents our best-ever performance at an overseas Games.

Hats off to Romania for holding off fierce competition. With every crew member, except the cox, having raced earlier this week and narrowly missing gold, they certainly deserved their moment of glory.

Jacob Dawson: ‘A surreal mix of emotions. Sadness that it’s all over, but immense joy that we achieved our goal.’

Charlie Elwes: ‘We executed almost perfectly. There was a moment of panic at stroke one, but that ignited our drive to give an incredible performance.’

Harry Brightmore: ‘It was an unforgettable ride. The American team was vocal on the start line, which we anticipated. Our team had a plan and we nailed it seamlessly.’

We executed it flawlessly, culminating in an intense sprint to the finish. I’m proud of my teammates.’

Anna Hopkin secured her spot in the heats with a strong performance. The former Olympic mixed 4x100m medley champion will hit the water again this evening.

She finished joint-fourth in her heat with a time of 24.72 seconds, qualifying her as joint-15th fastest overall.

The women’s hockey team faced disappointment with a 3-0 loss to Argentina ahead of their quarter-final match-up.

Sarah Robertson marked her 100th cap for Team GB, while Tess Howard celebrated her combined 100th appearance for GB and England.

A strong start for Great Britain as Becky Moody, riding Jagerbomb, takes the lead in the first round, with only Denmark and Germany left to go before the next stages.

With an impressive score of 76.489%, she holds a commanding lead over the Netherlands and Belgium. One spectator even remarked it was the best test they’ve seen from the pair.

Cox Harry Brightmore was visibly ecstatic. The heartfelt smile at the finish was touching.

This crew has endured heartache both on the water and in their personal lives, and this victory is a testament to their resilience.

They appeared somewhat drained after that race. It wasn’t merely a race of 5 minutes and 22 seconds; it was the result of years of hard work.

The shadows from Tokyo have been lifted, and Great Britain’s men’s eight crew are Olympic champions!

After the bittersweet feeling of a third-place finish three years ago, they finally secured that coveted gold.

A truly remarkable race. The Dutch team pushed hard in the final 200 meters, cranking up to 44 strokes per minute, but Team GB responded superbly to seize victory.

The Netherlands took the silver medal, with the USA finishing third.

The reigning world champions hold a slender lead over the Dutch after roughly 700 meters of the race.

While the British crew may have appeared slightly morose after the race, that initial reaction faded once the reality of their Olympic achievement set in – they are medalists! All those early morning training sessions have paid off.

Their joy was evident during the post-race interviews.

Holly Dunford: ‘It was an extraordinary experience. We gave everything and can be immensely proud of our performance.’

Eve Stewart: ‘I’m just elated to be here! I can’t express how that feels.’

Emily Ford: ‘Throughout the race, we trusted each other and the process. We learned to believe in ourselves, and it paid off. This medal signifies our past efforts, our current achievements, our family support, and all those who help fund us through the National Lottery.’

The women’s team faced a challenging match, conceding two rapid goals in the third quarter.

With Raposo Ruiz and Albertarrio scoring first, Team GB must regroup quickly.

Even if they lose, they will still advance, but a draw would not be ideal.

Thomas Pidcock, Josh Tarling, Stephen Williams, and Fred Wright are all set to race on the road today.

Anything can happen – just ask Pidcock. After suffering a puncture and being 40 seconds behind in the cross-country, he made an impressive comeback. Now he hopes to add another gold to his collection.

And that’s our first medal of the day, but the crew looks despondent. It was a commendable effort, but they were aiming for gold.

Great Britain clinches bronze in the women’s eight, finishing behind Romania and Canada.

Romania showcased stellar performance in rowing at this Olympics, securing their victory with confidence.

Team GB is performing well, positioned third after the first 800 meters in the women’s eight final, with a potential to overtake the Canadians and Romanians.

However, they need to close the gap quickly to secure a higher finish.

Commiserations to 16-year-old Megs Havers, who has been knocked out in the last 16 of the women’s individual archery, losing 7-1 to Lim Si-hyeon.

She was the first archer to take a set off the South Korean during this Olympics and should be proud of her performance.

Heidi Long emotionally shared that her father, who passed away last year, always supported her in every race.

She stated: ‘He fought cancer bravely and booked the accommodation for the Olympics before I knew if I was qualified.’

‘He always approached life with a smile and vigor. He is my true inspiration.’

There’s a chance for two more medals within the next hour.

The women’s eight crew will race at 9.50am, followed closely by the men’s team at 10.10am.

We’ve had a remarkable Olympics in rowing, already securing two golds, two silvers, and two bronzes. Can we improve on that?

There’s much to anticipate, particularly from these notable athletes:

• Thomas Pidcock in the men’s road race at 10am, aiming for another gold medal
• Max Whitlock competing in the men’s pommel horse final – his final Olympics appearance – later today
• Dina Asher-Smith running in the first round of the women’s 100m this evening

At Mail Sport, we’re excited to provide a unique opportunity to enjoy breakfast with Sir Steve Redgrave. Well, sort of.

Not really together, but we have a special collaboration with the National Lottery that brings you his unparalleled insights on the day’s events.
