Key Moments
Japan and People's Republic of China make headway on vault
The big scores are coming on the vault now with both China and Japan on that apparatus.
Hashimoto Daiki makes up for his earlier pommel horse error by scoring 14.900.
Meanwhile, over on parallel bars, Max Whitlock got a nice cheer, but he scores only 13.900, which is one of the lower totals on that apparatus today.
Halfway through the men's team artistic gymnastics final
We've had three rotations in the men's team final here in Bercy now, and as expected, People's Republic of China lead the way.
They're on 131.364, with USA sitting second on 130.163 and Great Britain third on 128.429.
Japan had another rough rotation on rings and are now back in fifth on 128.231.

Medal Moment
Men's 73kg judo gold for Heydarov
Over at the Champ-de-Mars Arena, France have picked up another judo medal, but it's silver for Joan-Benjamin Gaba, to the slight disappointment of the home crowd.
Azerbaijan's Hidayat Heydarov gets a golden score ippon in a close bout to take the gold.
Adil Osmanov, representing Moldova, and Japan's Hashimoto Soichi claimed the bronze medals.
It is game ON for Surfing
Round 3 of both Men's and Women's Surfing has been called ON for today. The men will surf first with the first heat in the water within the hour.
Stay tuned for a full day of high-octane action live and direct from the South Pacific.
Medal Moment
- Skateboarding
Horigome retains men's street skateboarding title with last-trick heroics
Oh wow.
The defending champion in men's street skateboarding, Yuto Horigome of Japan, was sitting down in seventh before his final trick.
But he's absolutely nailed the 270 nollie bluntslide on the big hubba, his last chance to improve his score, receiving a massive 97.08 from the judges to catapult him into the lead on 281.14.
Only Jagger Eaton (281.04) and Nyjah Huston (279.38) can overtake him now.
But Huston bails on his last trick and will take bronze. Eaton can't do it either!
In dramatic fashion, Yuto Horigome is a two-time Olympic champion!
Yuto Horigome competes in the men's street skateboard final
On U.S. broadcaster NBC, analyst Ryan Sheckler says: "That final was the gnarliest final of competitive skateboarding that I’ve ever seen."
Advantage to the People's Republic of China in the men's team final?
Over on pommel horse, we've had the first misstep from one of the top two teams – China and Japan, who are favoured to take the top two steps of the podium between them.
It's Hashimoto Daiki, who comes off on pommel horse for Japan. Just 13.100 for him.
Advantage China?
- Judo
Medal Moment
Christa Deguchi wins historic judo gold for Canada
Canada had never won a judo gold medal at the Olympic Games. Until today.
Christa Deguchi and her Republic of Korea opponent Huh Mimi can't be separated in regulation time in the women's 57kg final, so they're off to golden score.
And in the golden score period, Huh picks up three shidos (warnings) – equivalent to an automatic ippon for her opponent, Deguchi, who can't quite believe it.
Bronzes went to Funakubo Haruka of Japan and home favourite Sarah Léonie Cysique.
Biles to compete all four apparatus in women's team final tomorrow
Meanwhile, some news to bring you regarding Simone Biles: she will do all four apparatus for the U.S. in tomorrow night's women's team final.
Paul Juda fired up on vault
USA's Paul Juda absolutely nails his Kasamatsu 1.5 vault, sticks the landing, and is fired up!
He goes running back down the side of the platform, high fiving all his teammates.
The crowd, which features a big contingent of U.S. fans, loved that too.
It's 14.666 for Juda and the U.S. – the highest score on vault so far today.
- Canoe Slalom
Medal Moment
France celebrate men's C-1 canoe slalom gold
Over in Vaires-sur-Marne, only one man can overtake Adam Burgess at the top now: the French top qualifier, Nicolas Gestin, who is getting strong home support.
His time to beat is 96.84, so no room for error!
This is a fast run and he has absolutely mastered the course! Gold for France! 91.36 seconds.
Burgess wins silver for Great Britain, and Slovakia win bronze through Matej Benus.
Men's team final: Standings after 1/6 rotations
Our first rotation is done and Great Britain, led by a big 15.266 from Max Whitlock on horse, are in the lead.
- Great Britain 43.332
- Japan 43.266
- Canada 43.166
Next, Japan and People's Republic of China are moving to pommel horse; Ukraine and Great Britain to still rings; Italy and USA to vault; and Canada and Switzerland to parallel bars.
Burgess leads men's canoe slalom C-1 final
Ireland's Liam Jegou – who received pretty loud cheers from the home crowd given his French ancestry from his father's side – clips the 23rd and final gate to pick up a two-second penalty, leaving him out of the medals.
But Great Britain's Adam Burgess, after a wait for the judges to check his run, can celebrate – he's gone fastest, clearing the course in 96.84 seconds.
Three men to go.
Hashimoto Daiki nails floor routine in team final
Hashimoto Daiki, the reigning all-around champion, struggled the other day in qualification.
But here, he hits his floor routine, much to the delight of his teammates watching from the sidelines.
Hashimoto too loves it - a big fist pump. He's showed up today. 14.633, 0.9 better than he did two days ago.
- Archery
Medal Moment
Republic of Korea continue archery domination, beating France in men's team final
Over at the Invalides, the Republic of Korea have continued their domination of the archery events.
They, as expected, reached the men's team final, where they defeated the hosts France, a surprise qualifier to reach this stage, 5-1 on set points.
Türkiye won bronze.
Men's team artistic final starting now
We're at the Bercy Arena tonight for the men's team artistic gymnastics final.
Here's how it will work: each team will nominate only three members for each apparatus, from their team of five. All three scores will count, with no discards. There is no room for error.
People's Republic of China and Japan start on floor, Great Britain and Ukraine on pommel horse, USA and Italy on still rings, and Switzerland and Canada on vault.
Max Whitlock of Great Britain gets perhaps the biggest cheer from the crowd during the introductions. There are a lot of fans who've made the short trip across the Channel for this, and GB will start on Whitlock's best apparatus.

Ri and Kim from Democratic People's Republic of Korea reach table tennis mixed doubles final
Wow. The lowest-ranked team in the table tennis mixed doubles competition have reached the final.
They're the 16th and lowest seeds by virtue of not having played much internationally in recent years, but Ri Jong Sik and Kim Kum Yong of DPR Korea are now guaranteed an Olympic Games medal.
The duo have beaten the second, eighth, and now the fourth seeds, Wong Chun Ting and Doo Hoi Kem of Hong Kong China, to reach the final.
They win 4-3 (11-3, 10-12, 3-11, 11-9, 11-9, 9-11, 11-6) and will play either the world number one duo of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha of People's Republic of China or Republic of Korea pair Lim Jonghoon and Shin Yubin in the gold medal match tomorrow afternoon.
Wang/Sun face Lim/Shin up next.
Tom Pidcock on second mountain bike gold: "It was suffering, suffering"
We've just managed to speak to the now two-time Olympic champion, Tom Pidcock, after his earlier win in the men's mountain bike cross-country race.
"It's certainly pretty special," he said of his remarkable comeback. "It was suffering, suffering. I enjoy the races where I put the work in and it's kind of easier – Tokyo was better in that respect, because I was in control.
"Here, I was not in control, I was fighting to come back. I made two mistakes, I punctured and fell off the course in the same place, so it was a battle out there."
Daniel Wiffen comes close to Olympic record in qualifying top for men's 800m free
Speaking of Ireland, in case you missed it this morning in the pool at La Défense, Daniel Wiffen threatened the men's 800m freestyle Olympic record in qualifying as the fastest swimmer for Tuesday night's final.
The Irishman is the short-course world record holder in the event, and this morning was more than half a second faster than everyone else.
His 7:41.53 was within a quarter of a second of Mykhailo Romanchuk's Olympic record from Tokyo.
In a big surprise, Romanchuk finished 17th and missed the final, as did Australia's Sam Short, was was ninth.

Medal Moment
Michael Jung (GER) wins eventing individual gold!
Michael Jung (GER) is the first rider to win the eventing individual competition three times!
The 41-year-old and his horse Chipmunk FRH didn't have the cleanest of runs on their first sequence around the course at Versailles, tallying four penalty points, but thanks to a great score in the dressage (17.80) and a clean second run in the jumping, the German was able to finish just ahead of Christopher Burton (AUS) in second.
Laura Collett (GBR) wins bronze a couple of hours after earning gold in the team competition with Great Britain.
🥇Michael Jung (GER): 21.80
🥈Christopher Burton (AUS): 22.40
🥉Laura Collett (GBR): 23.10
- Cycling Mountain Bike
Medal Moment
Tom Pidcock (GBR) wins gold!
What an unbelievable finish!
Pidcock and Koretzky (FRA) went head-to-head throughout the final lap, with the lead switching between the two men several times. Finally, in one of the wooded sections, Pidcock made his move and took an inside line to edge out just in front of his French opponent, with the latter having to take evasive action so as not to cause a crash.
It was a big gamble from Pidcock, who needed to ensure he was in front of Koretzky to avoid being penalised if there was a crash, and it paid off big time. The Tokyo champion now joins Julien Absalon (FRA) as the only man to have won two Olympic mountain bike gold medals. And he turns 25 tomorrow! What a birthday present he's given himself.
It's silver for Koretzky, meaning that France have finished on an Olympic podium in both the men's and women's events for the first time. Alan Hatherly (RSA) comes home for bronze, the first ever Olympic medal in mountain bike for any African NOC.
🥇Tom Pidcock (GBR): 1:26:22
🥈Victor Koretzky (FRA): 1:26:31
🥉Alan Hatherly (RSA): 1:26:33
Djokovic beats Nadal in Paris 2024 second round
Sealed with an ace!
Nadal showed glimpses of his best in that second set, but it wasn't enough to hold off Djokovic.
The Philippe Chatrier crowd rises as one to salute two legends of the sport, as Djokovic waves to them.
Djokovic wins 6-1 6-4, while Nadal will now turn his attention to doubles with Carlos Alcaraz.
The crowd gives the Spaniard, a hero of this arena, a standing ovation as he leaves Chatrier for maybe the last time as a singles player.
