Olympics LIVE: Katarina Johnson-Thompson begins heptathlon as Jade Jones in taekwondo action and Jack Laugher in diving final

There are a few things to look forward to this morning.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson’s heptathlon campaign starts at 9.05am with the 100m hurdles.

But a few minutes before that, Yasmin Harper and Grace Reid will be in action in the women’s 3m springboard semi-final.

The first medal of the day has gone to the Netherlands!

Van Rouwendaal claims gold in the women’s 10km open water swim, with Australian Johnson taking second and Italian Taddeucci in third.

Australian Moesha Johnson is still in the lead, with Sharon van Rouwendaal from the Netherlands in second.

Britain’s Leah Crisp was in 18th as they came round for the final lap.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen passed the 400m mark, the Norwegian middle distance phenomenon checked the clock: 54.9 seconds. Uh oh, the defending champion was on pace for the world record, Hicham El Guerrouj’s 26-year mark and a journey into the unknown.

With no pacer or wave lights last night to serve as a rabbit, Ingebrigtsen had accepted a gruelling race from the gun, one which bitter rival Josh Kerr had promised would be “vicious”. It’s an Olympic 1500m final after all, a much purer form of racing, where plenty of emotional energy is burnt in an event decided by minute adjustments. Speed up, slow down, half a step inside, half a step outside. This event is a beautiful blend of physicality and tactics.

USA and China are fighting for supremacy in the count of gold, silver and bronze medals won at the Olympic Games:

Lap three is done, and the swimmers are having another sip of their drinks.

After that lap Leah Crisp has slipped to 39 seconds behind the leader.

For the second Olympics running, Great Britain’s men’s team pursuit finished a race in a less than optimum position.

But where Charlie Tanfield’s crash in Tokyo three years ago was a symbol of the struggles in what most see as British Cycling’s flagship event, this was a very different scenario.

When Ethan Hayter blew up with 300 metres to go in this Olympic final to end any hopes of overhauling to Australia to take gold, there was a tinge of disappointment.

But the team of Hayter, Tanfield, Ethan Vernon and Dan Bigham had done everything within their power and came desperately close to the world record holders.

Greco-Roman wrestling can seem archaic and impenetrable to the layman – huge, powerful men locking onto one another and manoeuvring each other around a mat in some kind of massive hug.

But when Cuba’s Mijain Lopez, known as ‘Giant of Herradura’, is in the arena, it quickly becomes very simple.

Even at 41, Lopez’s superhuman strength is obvious. He decides how the combat will go and everyone else simply has to fall into line.

In Paris on Tuesday, he made history. No one, not Carl Lewis or Al Oerter or even Michael Phelps has won the same individual event at five consecutive Olympics. Until now.

World record holder Lamecha Girma from Ethiopia tripped over a barrier and fell on the final lap.

He suffered a heavy fall, lying motionless as medical staff rushed to his aid, before leaving the stadium in a neck brace on a stretcher,

“Following his fall in the 3,000m steeplechase, Lamecha Girma received immediate care from the on-site medical teams. Our thoughts are with him and we are sending him our very best wishes for a swift recovery,” Paris 2024 said in a statement.

“Paris 2024 is in close contact with the Ethiopian NOC to stay updated on his condition.”

Breaking news: Noah Lyles just lost a 200m race. Lyles is twice a world champion over the distance and had won his last 26 races. But on a still-warm evening at the Stade de France, the American sprint king was beaten to the line in this Olympic semi-final by African champion Letsile Tebogo.

Perhaps it is more accurate to say Lyles finished second, rather than lost, given he comfortably qualified for Thursday night’s final. Both men eased up in the last 20m with the finish in sight and energy to conserve. But they were flat out around the bend, where Tebogo burned into the lead, and perhaps it was a sign that Lyles will not have it all his own way.
