LIVE Paris 2024 Olympics LIVE: Team GB's Ben Pattison is in 800m semi-final action and Breaking makes it's Olympics debut before Imane Khelif competes in boxing gold medal match later this evening By Harry Bamforth Published: 09:01 BST, 9 August 2024 | Updated: 09:07 BST, 9 August 2024 e-mail View comments Advertisement 08:07 Pardoe finishes sixth in 10km swim If you're only just getting up, you have already missed some action. The river Seine played host to the men's 10km marathon swimming this morning with two Brits in action. One of them was Hector Pardoe who was looking for redemption following his exit from the Tokyo race three years ago.
And he performed brilliantly. After a grueling battle, Pardoe finished in sixth place in one of the most entertaining open water races in some time. Meanwhile, Toby Robinson of Great Britain finished down in 14th.
It was a great advert for marathon swimming. If you managed to catch any of it, it surely made you smile. I won't be wanting to get into a dirty river any time soon, though.
08:05 Eventful morning at the Stade de France The Stade de France track is going to take a beating today. As the 'Hardest Geezer' (Russ Cook) says, there will be a lot of ones and twos slamming into it. Doing the slamming will be several British athletes.
.. Katarina Johnson-Thompson continues her bid for gold in the heptathlon this morning with the long jump and javelin events before the 800m finale tonight.
Not to forget that Ben Pattison, Elliot Giles, and Max Burgin, are all in action for the men's 800m semi-finals, while Cindy Sember takes to the track for the 100m hurdle semis. To finish off the morning, Britain are involved in the 4x400m relay. Phoar.
I got tired just typing that. 08:03 Yesterday's headlines To say yesterday was eventful is an understatement. There was drama, shock losses, and a mix of success for Great Britain on a topsy-turvey day.
If you somehow missed day 13 (not sure how you would), here are the headlines for you to catch up on: Noah Lyles of the USA suffered a shock defeat in the men's 200m but admitted he is suffering from Covid after claiming bronze. Ellie Aldridge struck gold in the women's kite, GB's 13th of the Paris Games. Great Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson leads the women's heptathlon standings after four events in a bid to win her first Olympic medal.
Emma Finucane wins bronze for Britain in the women's keirin. 08:00 Rise and shine! What a beautiful morning it is in Paris. The sun is shining on the host city as the Olympics enters it's final weekend of action.
I can't believe how fast it has gone, can you? We are now on day 14 of these Games and have just three to go. I'm not ready to say goodbye yet - luckily we don't have to yet. Another action-packed day in the city of love is in store, and we have you covered for all of it.
