“It meant everything, but this time I was simply not fast enough and when you are not at your best you find yourself in conditions that knock you to the ground, that is also undeniable.

“It is a long stay. One of the most productive comments is that when I encouraged young children to practice gymnastics, I got a lot of them here, from parents who said that their children were given over to the game after seeing me and that’s one of the most productive feelings.

“I’m done competing, but I love this game and now I need to replace it locally. I hope I can do it. This is my next mission.

The Thai fighter took eighth place in the 66 kg competition, while Khelif was fifth.

By Robert Summerscales

By Robert Summerscales

Imane Khelif defeats Anna Luca Hamori by unanimous resolution in the women’s welterweight quarterfinal clash at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Khelif deducted a point for holding on in the third and final round of the fight, but it made no difference given his large lead on judges’ scorecards.

He qualified for the semi-finals and was confident of getting a medal, as the two semi-finalists who lost won bronze.

By Robert Summerscales

The Algerian loses a point for maintaining the lead, but still maintains overall control.

By Robert Summerscales

Khelif wins this with his jab.

Despite all the communications about her possible strength in recent days, she is known as a great hitter.

But his move is also for Hamori.

The first two rounds belong to Khelif.

By Robert Summerscales

The first round was won 5-0 thanks to the Algerian, who was much sharper.

By Robert Summerscales

The Algerian boxer enters the ring amidst much applause and some boos.

By Robert Summerscales

The Algerian Olympic Committee has filed an official complaint with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding the repair of its boxer Imane Khelif.

This comes as the Hungarian Boxing Federation and the Bulgarian Olympic Committee contacted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to oppose their participation in the 2024 Games.

Khelif received a loud complaint after defeating Angela Carini in the women’s welterweight round of 16 at the Paris Olympics, with the Italian boxer quitting the fight just 46 seconds later.

Biles blows a kiss and waves as she is shown the Olympic champion: her third gold medal, writes Ian Herbert.

We saw beyond the intense pre-competence of a completely determined artist.

You can see the positive mindset in his eyes when he leaves.

By Robert Summerscales

Imane Khalif, the Algerian athlete at the center of a dispute over eligibility in women’s boxing, is still fighting today.

He will face Hungary’s Luca Anna Hamori at 4. 22pm (UK time) in the 66kg quarter-finals.

Khalif has been the victim of a lot of hate and misinformation since his debatable 46-second win over Angela Carini.

But there is a lot of love for Khalif at the Arena Nord in Paris, filled with Algerian flags.

Emma Hayes’ US women’s team will extend its quarterfinal against Japan.

The United States dominated possession, but the festival as a whole.

The match is still 0-0 and the enthusiastic Americans in the audience get angry.

By Robert Summerscales

Biles performs her two jumps (two and a half rotations) in a tent position, a jump that no one else in the world does, writes Ian Herbert.

She is delighted. She smiled even before landing first.

But she received 15. 7 and 14. 9 on her first and second jumps in the final: a final score of 15. 3 that puts her in the lead by more than one point.

Stuck for a third gold medal here.

By Robert Summerscales

Chen Meng won the women’s singles table tennis event during the consecutive Olympic Games.

As in Tokyo, she beat fellow Chinese Sun Yingsha in the gold medal match.

The bronze went to Japan and Hina Hayata.

By Robert Summerscales

Interestingly, the timing of Biles’s two educational leaps is not convincing, writes Ian Herbert at the Bercy Arena.

It’s a warm-up, but he falls backwards upon landing after the complex jump that answers his call and puffs out his cheeks as he gets up.

Unimportant in the larger scheme of things if you do it in competition. Jump fourth and at the moment when the competitor is about to leave.

By Robert Summerscales

Then comes the women’s vault final, with a big welcome here for Simone Biles.

It was this field that told him that he might not compete in Tokyo and that he would not participate in the final.

The gold and bronze medallists from this final – Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade and Korea’s Seojeong Yeo – will compete here.

Luke Whitehouse finished sixth in the men’s terrain final after the judges reduced his difficulty score.

Speaking after the final, Whitehouse said: “I mean, it was probably the most productive ground final I’ve ever been to, and coming in last I had all the stress on me, but I enjoyed it.

“I just came here to check it out and enjoy it. I’m a European champion and I knew I was capable of being one here, but I wasn’t meant to be.

Men’s champion Carlos Yulo is the first Filipino gymnast to reach the podium at the Olympic Games.

The 24-year-old deserved his grade of 15. He’s too good.

Jarman took bronze with 14. 933. Artem Dolgopyat the silver with 14. 966.

By Robert Summerscales

IAN HERBERT: “It’s BRONZE for Jake Jarman and GB, with Luke Whitehouse being sixth.

“Jarman and winner Edriel Yulo did everything imaginable with the toughest routines.

But Yulo is the cleanest. A great finale’

By Robert Summerscales

BRONZE guaranteed at least for Great Britain in the final.

Jarman is in third position, followed by fellow Brit Luke Whitehouse.

By Robert Summerscales

Jarman 14,933!

The performance is not as transparent as that of the Filipino gymnast and Jarman advances to the bronze medal with two to go, adding the British competitor Luke Whitehouse.

The degrees of difficulty were high, but Jarguy simply couldn’t perform the same blank landings as the boy in the gold medal position.

By Robert Summerscales

Britain’s Jake Jarman is about to carry out his regimen, the ultimate land exercise. His target score with the difficulty he has set is 15. 01.

He will need it after Filipino gymnast Edriel Yulp put in a strong performance to record 15. 00 and lead.

Emma Wilson was thrilled after being denied a gold medal in windsurfing in the past and that’s absolutely understandable, as she couldn’t handle the bronze she won last time.

But the 25-year-old has many reasons to be proud and is an inspiration for all young people to emulate.

For the afternoon and beyond, I will leave the floor to the hard-working Robert Summerscales, with medal hopes to come, adding the final bow of the leader of the bowed horses, Max Whitlock.

Sharon Firisua, a well-respected long-distance runner from the Solomon Islands, never expected to be chosen as a wild card for the women’s 100 meters.

In a controversy where one athlete threatened to leave the game for good, Firisua put in a memorable performance, but why?

An ambitious intervention through the International Boxing Association here.

The IBA lost its popularity last year through the International Olympic Committee. The fact that they have become the first organization to run this destination is a testament to the attention paid to them.

However, they intervened by pledging to award Angela Carini, the Italian who retired from Imane Khelif in just 46 seconds, the champion’s prize.

The scene is even more turbulent before Khelif’s next fight. Recognized as a woman since her birth and never having known otherwise, she will have to wonder how this typhoon ended up being so big and so punishing.

Congratulations to Emma Wilson. Es double Olympic medalist after Tokyo and now this. It’s magnificent.

But in the end, she will be disappointed and tired. Wilson dominated the opening heat and knew she was the favorite for the final, however, at times in a difficult format today upwind, she was defeated by world number 16 Marta Maggetti of Italy. and Sharon Kantor of Israel.

British windsurfer Emma Wilson had a nerve-wracking day. The women’s windsurfing final was supposed to take place, but it was postponed until now, leaving her to try to stay calm.

Great Britain now has 29 medals for the Games, according to this article published yesterday, but it’s still worth checking out.

What were your moments from the Olympics?

For me, it’s hard to forget Andy Murray’s comebacks, even if his tennis career ended in front of a half-empty stadium in the doubles quarterfinals with Dan Evans. His games at the Games seemed to me to be the best summary of resilience. capacity for the ordinary and heartbreak that will be the defining totems of his legacy.

BY MIKE KEEGAN:

“Olympic boss Thomas Bach made a shocking – and incredibly embarrassing – mistake in trying to end the dispute over finishers that rocked the Games.

The 70-year-old German chef told reporters that the case, which revolves around the involvement of two boxers who allegedly failed gender screening last year, “is not a DSD case. “

If accurate, Bach’s remark would have been a significant progression that might well have ended a controversy that has spread around the world.

But error officials were quick to explain the error. Khelief will face Luca Hamori at 16:22.

Learn below.

By Luke Power

Sam Sills returned today.

A last minute overtake saw him finish second in race 13. We are now in race 14 and if he finishes in the top two he will secure a medal.

They fly in windy waters. The physicality that your windsurfing board requires and the intelligence to read situations should not be underestimated.

By Luke Power

A truly impressive breakaway from the five leaders, who are 14 and a half minutes ahead of the peloton, with a chasing organization 3 minutes behind them.

It is still not a huge challenge and there is no need to panic in the main peloton, but it is a big gap.

By Luke Power

Zharnel Hughes, British record holder in the 100m and 200m, insisted he had no worries despite a recent injury and unconvincing performances in the heat.

“The false start disconcerted me a little bit, but other than that I’m fine. I finished the lap,” he told BBC Sport.

“Unfortunately I got injured last month. London was the race of the season in the 100 meters. I use the course to be more and more precise. I’m fine, I don’t worry about anything.

By Luke Power

Zharnel Hughes came out of the block slow and found himself in what looked like a run for fourth place.

However, he was strong in the second part of the final heat and Fred Kerley and Letsile Tebogo finished third with a time of 10. 03.

There is no margin for error in what will be a packed semi-final.

By Luke Power

There was no sound and he left too soon.

*Sighs*

After losing their last organizational match 3-0 against Argentina, Great Britain dealt the first blow: Holland.

Memories of the 5-1 thrashing that the Dutch inflicted on Great Britain in the semi-final in Tokyo en route to gold resurface.

The Netherlands has won 4 of the last World Cups. They are the undisputed queens of this sport.

But to win the tournament you have to beat the best. This giveaway is just the trailer for a game that GB was hoping to play eventually. They will enjoy the challenge.

By Luke Power

He is not convinced by the current Olympic champion.

Obviously they didn’t push themselves all the way through the heats, however, they reached a point in their heat and their gap to fourth place – see notes – 0. 01 moments.

You can say ice in your veins, but flat functionality like that and you can put your Olympic hopes on the ice.

Yes, in part I say that only for the British.

“Today a little bit of this and that,” he said. But it’s just the playoffs.

By Luke Power

Tom Pidcock is placed with his GB team allies Josh Tarling, Stephen Williams and Fred Wright.

He is currently ranked 27th and not part of a breakaway organization at the start of the race, but that is not a challenge at all.

I would say it is a marathon and not a sprint, but that would give a false idea of ​​how far we have left to go. We still have 213 km (132 miles) to reach the finish line. Pidcock probably wouldn’t be worried. not at all, but a five-minute period is not intelligent reading.

Daniel Jervis finished last in his heat with a time of 15:03:75, about 23. 41 seconds behind the winner of the third heat, Daniel Wiffen.

“I don’t think too much about time. I’m just looking to run my run.

“(The Olympic experience) has been great. “

By Luke Power

Nice task there. He was a 9. 98 from Britain’s Louie Hinchliffe and finished 0. 06 seconds ahead of the much-loved American Noah Lyles.

Lyles, the favorite for the final, was slow to get going before taking the lead but hesitated when Hinchliffe burst on.

Jeremiah Azu claims to have heard something on the phone and was prevented from showing up to protest.

He told BBC Sport: “Honestly, I reacted to a sound. That’s a shame. The crowd is very excited and happens a lot (in the crowd). It’s a shame that they didn’t let me run in protest. I don’t know what rule is used, but they said I had to back down and appeal. I’ll follow the procedure and see what happens.

“I said I wanted to run as a protester. They allow you to run any other race and then after reviewing it. But it’s the Olympics, so the regulations are obviously different.

By Luke Power

Wow.

Jamaican Kishane Thompson, considered by some to be Usain Bolt’s successor, slow but controlled to lock down the pack and won this first round with ease.

After Azu’s distraction, there was silence.

By Luke Power

Immense sympathy for Jeremiah Azu as he pleads his case, but the other athletes become irritable. A little behind here but, in spite of everything, he leaves.

It was a heartbreaking moment for Team GB challenger Jeremiah Azu, who was disqualified for a false start in the first race of the men’s 100m.

Thanks to Romania for delaying the competition. Under his direction, the entire team had already raced this week and been denied the gold medal. They deserved their moment in the sun.

Jacob Dawson: “A great combination of emotions. A little bit that this is the end, but a general joy that we have finished this task the right way.

Charlie Elwes: “Ninety-nine point nine percent was perfect, we got a little silly hit on the first shot and it scared us, but I think it took us to 120 percent and we did it. . . “

Harry Brightmore: “It was a lap in the back of the boat. The Americans shouted a lot at the starting line, something we were in position for. We knew exactly what they were going to do. Simply

I executed it perfectly, a bit of a race to death and we took it by the neck. These guys, proud of themselves.

A sure progression in the heat for Anna Hopkins. The former Olympic champion in the 4×100-meter medley relay returns to the water this afternoon.

He tied for fourth in his heat with a time of 24. 72 seconds and qualified 15th overall.

Unfortunate for women’s hockey who lost 3-0 to Argentina before qualifying for the quarterfinals.

Sarah Robertson won her 100th cap for Team GB, while Tess Howard made her 100th combined cap for Great Britain and England.

It was an ideal start for Great Britain as Jagerbomb’s top Becky Moody took the lead in the first round, leaving only Denmark and Germany before the next two legs.

With a score of 76. 489%, this is a huge lead over the Netherlands and Belgium and one viewer rated it the toughest test for the duo.

Cox Harry Brightmore can barely see. His smile at the end was very comforting.

This team has faced heartbreak in recent years, whether on the water or in their private lives, and this is a way to show the world that they can triumph over any challenge.

They seem a little exhausted after all that. It’s not just five minutes and 22 seconds of your time, but years of preparation.

The demons of Tokyo are banished and the British men’s 8 team is Olympic champion!

After the combined sensations of third position 3 years ago, when they were aiming higher, they nevertheless get the coveted gold.

A surely surprising argument. The Dutch did their best against Team GB in the last two hundred metres, reaching 44 strokes per minute, but we put in a relentless performance and are on the top step of the podium.

The Netherlands is in second place and the United States is in third.

Back-to-back world champions have their necks ahead of the Dutch after about 700 meters.

I said they seemed a little somber after the race, but if they were, that initial reaction dissipated when they realized: They’re Olympic medalists. A life of bloodless winter mornings justified.

You might see the joy emanating from them in their post-race interview.

Holly Dunford: “It was amazing. We’ve left everything and we can be really proud of what we’ve just done.

Eve Stewart: “I’m so excited to be here. I have no other words than that!”

Emily Ford: “Throughout the process, we trusted each other and trusted each other. We learned to do it on ourselves and we did it. This medal is for the past, the present, the family, the help network, anyone who plays the National Lottery.

This is what our women’s team would have liked: to concede two goals in a row in the third quarter.

Raposo Ruiz and Albertarrio have drawn first blood and Team GB want a quick turnaround.

If they lose, they will still qualify, but a draw may not be so preferable.

We’ve got Thomas Pidcock, Josh Tarling, Stephen Williams and Fred Wright in action today.

Anything can happen, ask Pidcock. A puncture and 40 seconds in cross-country? Don’t worry. He then came back to secure glory and now he hopes for another gold medal.

And it’s our first medal of the day, but the team looks inconsolable. It was a difficult race but they were going for gold.

Great Britain won bronze in the women’s eight category, rounding out Romania and Canada.

Romania was sensational in rowing at those Olympic Games and after the first few hundred meters their victory was never in doubt.

By Luke Power

Team GB is in a position to beat the Canadians and Romanian teams, occupying third position after the first 800 meters of the women’s round of 16 final.

However, they will have to make up ground quickly.

Memorials to 16-year-old Megs Havers, who eliminated the round of 16 in women’s individual archery 7-1 thanks to Lim Si-hyeon.

She was the first archer to surpass the South Korean at those Olympics and can hold her head high.

Heidi Long said that her father, who died last year, attended all of his races in an emotional tribute with BBC Sport.

The rower said: “Unfortunately he passed away at the end of a war with cancer, but he booked accommodation for the Olympics before I knew where he was going or what boat he had qualified.

“He moved around with a smile on his face and took care of everything as vigorously as he could. He is my inspiration.

It’s nice to see Andy Murray outdoors this morning in Paris, wrapped in a British flag and wearing the team kit.

He has settled in the Yves du Manoir stadium, where the British women’s hockey team has recently faced Argentina.

It’s the second quarter, it’s 0-0 and they’re already finished. But it’s not dead rubber.

Their position in the organization will determine their opponents in the quarterfinals and they will all desperately head to the Netherlands.

Maybe we will be richer with two medals in the next hour.

The women’s 8 rises at 9:50 a. m. while the men’s team competes in its final at 10:10 a. m.

It has been an Olympic Games for the Great Britain rowing team, with two passes, two silvers and two bronzes to our credit. Can we go further?

There’s a lot to highlight, but here are some of the notable names that appear:
