Women’s marathon
\n Tradition has it that the men’s marathon should shut the Olympic fits programme, but not this year. At the end of a route that partly trails the women’s march on Versailles, one of the most meaningful events of the French Revolution, this will be the final medal determined in the Stade de France. Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa, who shattered the world write down last year, will be hoping to better on her previous Olympic experience: coming fifth in an 800m heat in 2016.

Men’s water polo
\n Though Serbia have won gbetter at the last two Olympics a three-peat would be a massive accomplishment given the sanitize competitiveness of this event – the last four world championships have had four separateent thriveners and seven separateent medalenumerates, with Croatia coming out on top in the tardyst, in Doha in February. “I have no favourites,” their coach, Ivica Tucak, shelp. “There is a circle of nine teams from which any can beat any, where every suit can be won or lost. Any medal is a magnificent result.”

Women’s omnium: The USA’s Jennifer Valente has won the scratch race with Canada’s Maggie Coles-Lyster in second and Australia’s Georgia Baker in third.
In the last 10 laps everyone was being quite cagey with the pace astonishive from all of the field. They commenceed to stretch out a bit with six laps left, when the cameras go to the bike watch you can see equitable how shut these athletes are to one another. It apshows such sfinish to race and get the getedty of themselves and their competitors.
Norway’s Stenberg is the first to produce a shift but once she goes it gives the green weightless for everyone else. It’s coming down to the final lap and Valente regulates to put the after burners on to apshow it.
GB’s Neah Evans finishes last after coming off her bike, she watchs okay to persist in this competition.
Women’s omnium: Fortin is watching to try and lap the riders at the back of the pack but she is about a quarter of the track ahead. However, now she determines to pull up sweightlessly, maybe with an eye to grasp some energy for the rest of the day’s racing.
Women’s omnium: After 10 laps it is France’s Valentine Fortin who strikes and gets a huge guide, no one reassociate trails her.
Women’s omnium: A constant pace at the commence of this first event in the women’s omnium. It is all about your finishing place in this one rather than points.

A reader has sent some quotes to me from Sifan Hassan on Dutch TV. The marathon gbetter medalenumerate and 5km and 10km bronze medalenumerate shelp:
When I commenceed I never thought about the marathon, than I thought why not, let’s try it. And then I won and now I am Olympic champion. Yeah!
This one experiences enjoy 10 gbetter medals. It was impossible. Too difficult to do it all. Yeah, I did it. First I thought why did I run the 5 and 10k, but after 20 km or 30 km I thought let’s go.
Thank you Louise for sending those over!
Women’s omnium: So the first cycling event of the day commences and there are disjoinal parts to the women’s omnium. The first is the scratch race which will see 22 athletes ride 30 laps of the track. All the action to come.

Well we have multiple events in cycling, the women’s conmomentary pentathlon, weightlifting and basketball on the enumerate as well as a scant other sports sprinkled in. The action in the velodrome will commence at 10am BST and we will have a enthusiastic eye on that with refreshs from the other sports too.

GB’s French retreats from conmomentary pentathlon
The women’s individual event will apshow place tardyr on today, commenceing at 10am BST, but Team GB have verifyed Kate French will not vie becaengage of illness.

Handball: The men’s bronze medal suit has been so shut thcdisesteemfulout with the half-time score 12-12 but it is Spain who regulate to get over the line and claim the medal.
They thrive the suit and edge out Sadorenia 23-22.
Here is the finish from Hassan in the women’s marathon (the clip is from the BBC and so some may not be able to watch it):
HISTORY! 🥇
Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands thrives the women's marathon after thrivening bronze in both the 5000m AND 10000m this week!
She does it in an Olympic write down time too. 🤯
A truly phenomenal feat of endurance running at these games. 👏#BBCOlympics #Olympics #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/2xH7Z9n0J6

Marathon: Not only has Hassan won gbetter but she has also broken the Olympic write down with a time of 2:22:55, what a wonderful run from the Netherlands’ athlete.
Marathon: Silver goes to Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa and bronze to Kenya’s Hellen Obiri.
That is Hassan’s third medal at these Games after already thrivening two bronzes. There was some communicate between Hassan and Assefa coming into the home straight with elbows touching but the Dutch athlete tried to weave side-to-side to get around her rival and it wasn’t laboring. The communicate point was where the overapshow happened.
Hassan thrives women’s marathon gbetter
The Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan apshows gbetter.
The last 2km saw the guideing five remaining together until Ethiopia’s Shankule dropped off the back and so five became four.
Kenya’s Obiri watched mighty but the Netherlands’ Hassan remained on her shoulder, the Dutch runner is a outstanding sprinter and it could come in handy towards the end.
It’s so uncomfervent that one of these four won’t medal, they have all put in such a courageous effort. Lokedi commenceed to struggle and dropped off, she may be the one not to medal here.
Obiri dropped out and it is Hassan who has a monumental sprint to the line – WOW. What an absolutely iconic finish with an iconic backdrop.
Marathon: We have our final time split before the finish at 40km (24.6 miles) and Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi comes over first but she is surrounded by four other athletes. Around 2km to go.
Marathon: So who will bjoin first? The guideing five runners are still running as one with around 3km left but someone will eventuassociate have to produce a shift to guarantee gbetter. It has to be timed to perfection though, go to soon and you could be out of the top three.
Marathon: The guideing five athletes are now running in front of the Eiffel Tower and Eurosport have pretty shots from above and below the iconic structure. Around 15 minutes left in the final fits event of Paris 2024.
Marathon: The people who organised the course knovel what they were doing with a pretty shot of the Eiffel Tower as the athletes shut in on the end of this absolute slog on the streets of Paris. The guideing pack is now five mighty and it will be between those athletes for the medals now, they have a 12 second guide on the next speedyest runner.
Marathon: The crowds are commenceing to erect once aget as the athletes run back into the centre of Paris, the noise will lift them and they will comprehend the end is in sight after a gruelling run so far.
Marathon: Kenya’s Hellen Obiri has dropped back from the guideing pack, she was one of the favourites to medal and so she will have to push to get back there with equitable a scant miles to go. She can still see the guideing runners so it is not out of the ask.
Marathon: The guideing athletes have passed 35km (21.7 miles) and it is Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi who persists to hbetter the guide. We are in the closing stages now and the pace of all of the athletes has incrmitigated.
Marathon: The guideing pack has been cut down to five but it does not comprise the geting champion as she is around 30 seconds behind. It would apshow a lot for Peres Jepchirchir to get into the medal spots now.
Marathon: The guideing athletes have achieveed the bottom of the hill and now they have finishly flat road and so let the genuine racing commence. Athletes will commence to put their tactics in place to set up a guide in the closing stages.
Marathon: A sixth athlete has pulled out with Zimbabwe’s Rutendo Joan Nyahora unable to finish.
At the front of the race is a pack of nine athletes but the picture is ever-changing and there is a lot of race to go here.
Marathon: 30km (18.6 miles) is the point equitable passed and we have another separateent guideer with Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi is in front after the horrid hill, the guideing pack have now finishd the hill and are on the downhill.
Handball: The men’s bronze medal suit has achieveed half-time and the timeout labored for Sadorenia as they have once aget levelled the suit at 12-12.
Marathon: This hill has been depictd as the athletes climbing a lcompriseer and I have to say this watchs absolutely gruelling. The pack is reassociate pulling apart now but after this hill I apshow the course is mostly flat so it will be key for the athletes to protect some energy so they can either produce up time or erect a guide.
Simon Kamp has emailed and shelp:
I equitable read that the American Jordan Chiles is being tormented on social media over losing her bronze medal for her floor exercise. I would enjoy to convey that the Olympics transport so much delight to our family and my husprohibitd and me in particular. I am so appreciative to all athletes for striving to do their best and to amaze us with that.
I don’t leank I could ever do or accomplish anyleang that has come shut to what Jordan Chiles (or any of the other gymnasts) can do on the floor. I don’t attfinish which prize she gets, I am brimming of watch and esteem for her accomplishment even if it did not supply her with a medal.
I leank it is vital to genuineise that the exceptional athletes who thrive can only do so becaengage other people -who are almost as outstanding as they are- don’t. At the Tokyo Olympics a Belgian athlete (who is a teacher during the day) surpelevated herself by coming 21st in the woman’s marathon, her surpelevate, delight, emotions (and deficiency of ego) with that place made her a national hero. There is so much more to esteem about the Olympics and the stories of the athletes than equitable boiling it down to who thrives which medal and which country ends up where on the medal table.
Thank you all at the Guardian for your extensive alerting on the Olympics, much adore and gratitude to all the athletes who made all these stories possible.
Thank you Simon. Yes, it is unblessed for Jordan Chiles, it does watch as though she will have her bronze apshown off of her after the contest to her score was lodged too tardy. That must be so hard for her, it was her first individual floor Olympic medal.
Handball: The men’s bronze medal suit is approaching half-time and it is Spain who have a sweightless edge with a 12-10 guide, Sadorenia’s team have called a time out with equitable over a minute to go in the first half.
Marathon: We have a novel split time everyone! The athletes are equitable going thcdisesteemful 25km (15.5 miles) and it is Israel’s Salpeter who guides with Kyrgyzstan Sardana Trofimova in second and Kenya’s Peres Jepchirchir in third. They will be approaching the steepest hill on the course now.
Also I have been notified the email join may not be laboring for some so if you would enjoy to email me it’s sarah.rendell.casual@protectian.co.uk.
Marathon: I thought the flat road would see some making a shift here and the USA’s Dakotah Lindwurm has done equitable that. She split from the 20-or-so pack but Israel’s Salpeter has shiftd with her.
There are disjoinal medals to be determined today and more memories to be made but here are some the athletes have made already:
Marathon: Halfway has equitable been passed and it is Jessica Stenson who has reapshown the guide as the course hits a flat part. The hills aren’t over yet but this part of the course may see some athletes try to erect a guide.
Marathon: The athletes have equitable passed 20km (12.4 miles) and so we have another split time and it is Israel’s Lonah Chemtai Salpeter who guides, coming thcdisesteemful at 1:09:31.
Medal hope the Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan is back in 15th.
Marathon: The commentators are criticising Jessica Stenson’s tactics here. They leank she has broken away too punctual here and that she should have saved that energy for a tardyr moment in the race. But you’d leank she would have analysed this course and spoken tactics with her coaching team, though a medal may not be in her comprehend.
A fourth athlete has dropped out of the race with Germany’s Melat Yisak Kejeta pulling out.
Handball: The men’s bronze medal suit between Spain and Sadorenia got underway equitable a scant minutes ago and Spain are currently guideing 2-1.
Thank you Jonathan and hello everyone. Yes I unite you as the athletes equitable finish 10 miles in the women’s marathon, a extfinished uphill stint has commenceed to pull the field apart but Australia’s Jessica Stenson is making a outstanding shift here. She watchs to have adored this hill where many will be experienceing the lactic acid commenceing to erect in their muscles now.
With it being the final day of the Games I’d adore to hear from you on your favourite moment and which sport you leank you would vie in if you were an Olympian.
Jonathan Howcroft
This is my final sign-off for the Games, so a huge thank you to everyone that has unitecessitate me over the past couple of weeks for these punctual sessions.
It’s now over to Sarah Rendell for the completion of the marathon and the remainder of the final day of Paris 2024!
Marathon: At the 15km labeler the timesheet shows the guideing bunch has been whittled down to 14 runners. The medals are going to come from that group. It comprises Obiri (KEN), Jepchirchir (KEN), Lokedi (KEN), Alemu (ETH), Assefa (ETH), Shankule (ETH), and Hassan (NED).
The pace has rapidened, and we’re now on track for someleang around 2.24.
