2024 Paris Olympics LIVE: Team GB eye equestrian gold, Sky Brown in skateboard action before Josh Kerr battles for glory in 1500m final tonight

Victoria Ohuruogu needed a repechage, but the British 400m runner has made tomorrow’s semi-finals of the women’s event.

It’s a season’s best time as well, with Ohuruogu crossing the line in 50.59s to win her race, and what a time to get it!

It has felt like a long season and it’s taken me a while to get my running feet.

I am happy to get my season best at the Olympics and there is more to come.

I run well on the outside, I thought to attack and once I was aggressive they couldn’t pull me back.

Here comes Guerdat with 38.34 to beat.

Not the quickest of starts, but so far flawless despite a very tight corner taken to beat the clock.

But on the penultimate jump he catches the bar and it will be silver for Switzerland.

The gold goes to Germany and Christian Kukuk and the bronze to Netherlands and Maikel Van der Vleuten!

Next up is Van der Vleuten, who has precious experience securing medals on the jump-off.

It’s a strong start from the Dutchman, but there’s a bar down!

That’s four penalty poins and a final time of 39.12!

He’s left the door open for Guerdat to sneak in ahead, and Kukuk is guaranteed at least a silver!

Back to Versailles – where I can confirm there are no whales – and it’s the start of the jump-off, and Christian Kukuk has got us off with a perfect start!

38.34s to get round the smaller jump-off course and a mighty gauntlet thrown down.

Can Steve Guerdat or Maikel van der Vleuten match it?

Ah, the Olympics. Come for the sport, stay for the whales.

Yes, that’s right – there’s been a whale spotted at the semi-finals of the surfing.

Looks like a humpback whale to me, and the marine giant has clearly been trying to get their fins on a free look at the action!

Back in Versailles and it is confirmed that there will be a three-way jump-off in the individual show-jumping event!

Steve Guerdat (Switzerland), Maikel van der Vleuten (Netherlands) and Christian Kukuk (Germany) will each go round the course with penalties awarded for every bar dropped as before.

The winner will be the rider to make the fewest penalties in the quickest time.

It’s like a penalty shoot-out, but for show-jumping, essentially.

Some big names – quite literally – in action in the basketball with Germany taking on Greece.

About seven minutes to play in the second quarter of that last-eight clash, with Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead by five against the World Cup winners.

We’ll bring you more from that one as it unfolds – it’s been a very end-to-end clash this one so far!

Back to the diving, and Laugher and Houlden are continuing their strong form, both cranking out big 3.9 difficulty dives earlier on.

The duo are still third and fourth with just two more dives to go.

Again, no medals on offer here at the prelims, but a very strong showing – and dare I say a statement – behind the oh-so impressive Chinese pair!

Some great shots coming in from the diving pool, too…

The very ‘brat’ cars that have been used for retreiving javelins have been getting a lot of love on social media in the last few days, but looks like they’ve got more than one job.

This time it’s Olympic mascot Phryge on board, in the first race of the day on the 100m track at the Stade de France

After Steve Guerdat gave us just our third clear round, his compatriot Martin Fuchs looked set to pull off the remarkable with one of his own.

It very nearly all came apart early on after Fuchs’ horse appeared to spook just before a jump but the Swiss rider expertly regained control, although there was a very loud shout that rang out through the arena.

In the process, he appeared to have lost his stirrup and was effectively jumping one-footed, but made it all the way to the final jump.

And then, with the crowd and commentators alike already cheering and praising Fuchs’ feat the final bar came down, bringin an end to his medal hopes against all the odds.

The men’s 110m hurdles event has started up this morning at the Stade de France with the repechages currently on going.

Chaos already over in Versailles – well that’s nothing on what’s been going on at the track.

The second heat in the hurdles was halted on THREE occasions before finally getting underway at the fourth attempt!

First, David Yefemerov of Kazakhstan was DQed after a false start, before shouting from the crowd held up the second attempt.

Then, after all that, the starting pistol failed to go off ahead of attempt No 3 which meant a fourth go was needed!

Chaos in Versailles, and the World No 1 is off his horse!

Henrik von Eckermann changed his mind midway through his run and was unable to recover and his mount threw his rider!

It was a terrible mistake that he seemed to have got away with in the run up to a big gate, but managed to stay seated until his mount turned a corner and he lost his control and hit the deck.

Von Eckermann is up and seems ok if a little dazed.

For all you javelin fans, here’s an update on qualifying Group A…

Germany’s Julian Weber is currently in the lead on 87.76m, leading Kenyan thrower Julius Yego (85.97m), Czechia’s Jakub Vadlejch (85.63m) and Toni Keranen of Finland (85.27m).

No British action to bring you from that one, but I’d definitely recommend checking out the highlights of those if you can because a throw like 87.76m doesn’t really sink in until you see it with your own two eyes.

Earlier on we rounded up the morning’s action in the women’s 1500m first round.

Georgia Bell and Laura Muir made it straight through to the semis, but it will be a repechage for Revee Walcott-Nolan, who spoke to the BBC after her race:

I got caught up on a couple of trips and I have been spiked.

It happened three times and it threw me off my rhythm. I can run so much faster than that so I am annoyed.

I felt good at the bell and I thought I could claw back into the top six. But, where I come off the pack I had to go wide and I didn’t have the legs in the final group – I am really disappointed in that.

I am glad I got another chance, but it’s not ideal. Hopefully, I am strong enough to make it through the repechage.

He’ll be looking to make up for that penalty with a quick round and hope for a higher position if tied on four penalties.

He jumps the last clear and finishes on 81.23s which is decent enough, but it’s not going to trouble for the medals.

It’s fourth place for Brash and Jefferson, who will leave Paris with their heads held high after a gold in the team event.

Here comes Brash and Jefferson – who already have gold in the team event remember – who need to go clear to have a chance at making it two from two.

Four penalties picked up at the exact same point as Ben Maher!

It’s been an eventful morning already in the individual jumping.

We’ve had one rider come off their horse, another brilliantly keep their composure after almost following suit, and just the two of 18 riders manage to get through clear.

There will be a jump-off between Netherlands’ Maikel van der Vleuten and Germany’s Christian Kukuk to determine the result given there can be no tie, and there’s still Scott Brash to come in a moment or two.

Meanwhile, over in the diving Jack Laugher is back in action after already grabbing bronze in the 3m springboard synchornised event.

This time it’s the 3m individual springboard preliminary round – so no medals up for grabs just yet – and Laugher is competing on his own this time round. Well, sort of.

He’s not the only Brit out there with Jordan Houlden joining him in the pool, via an athletic and acrobatic entrance.

The duo are going well, with just Wang Zongyuan and Siyi Xie ahead of them.

Laugher picked up silver in this one in Rio, so will be hoping for some more previous metal to come home with him from Paris.

There’s also some British interest at the Stade de France where the first heats of the women’s 1500m have been getting underway.

Both Laura Muir and Georgia Bell have made it through to the semi-finals of that event this morning, with Revee Walcott-Nolan into the repechage after only coming eighth in her heat.

Both Muir and Bell made it through after finishing second in their heats in a promising start to the 1500m after Keely Hodgkinson’s success last night.

Good morning Olympics fans and welcome to Day 11 in Paris!

We’ve another action-packed day ahead of us, with Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita going in the women’s 200m final, Josh Kerr vs Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the men’s 1500m, more cycling over in the velodrome and Team GB’s teenage superstar Sky Brown in the skateboarding still to come.

But before all of that, we’re already underway in the individual jumping final in Versailles AND we’ve got athletics coming from the Stade de France!

I hope you’ve all had your coffee – it’s going to be a busy morning…
