Josh Kerr claims silver in 1500m race beating Ingebrigtsen in a shocking finish

The Olympics continues with Team GB’s focus remaining on the track at both the athletics and the cycling on day 12 of Paris 2024.

Matthew Hudson-Smith’s form in his 400m semi-final marks him as a gold medal contender ahead of tonight’s final at the Stade de France, following memorable medals for Keely Hodgkinson and Josh Kerr over the past two nights.

Great Britain have also made a great start in the velodrome and can add further success this evening in the team pursuit. The men’s team will face Australia for gold later, and the women’s team led by Elinor Barker will try to match them this afternoon.

Last night, American Cole Hocker stunned world champion Kerr and reigning Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win a sensational 1500m gold, while Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita missed out on a medal in the women’s 200m final by the barest of margins.

This morning, golf resumes Le National as the women’s strokeplay competition gets underway. Charley Hull and Georgia Hall lead Great Britain’s bid for gold, but the favourite is the world’s best player this year: USA’s Nelly Korda.

Olympics 2024: Sailing – men’s dingy final – RACE ABANDONED

This is unbelievable! Micky Beckett was in a strong position in the sailing final, he was going well and was about to round the second mark in at least second place.

But the race has been abandoned because of light winds!

Everything had been going right for him to be able to claim a silver medal, but all of that hard work has been undone.

Olympics 2024: Sailing – men’s dingy final

Almost everything happened on the first lap, one of the boats capsized completely.

Micky Beckett looked to be raising a protest as he was beaten around the second mark at the end of the first lap by the Hungarian boat.

It will be up to the judges to decide whether he was impeded or not.

He is still in with a good chance of securing a bronze medal however.

Olympics 2024: Sailing – men’s dingy

Micky Beckett might have been able to capitalise on some penalties at the start for other boats, but he got caught up.

With all the riders choosing their lines, he has found himself in eighth place, but there is still a way to go in this contest.

Olympics 2024: Sailing – men’s dingy

The boats are just being held behind the line, but the delay might not be as long as first feared.

The sailors have waited for so long for this race which should have happened days ago but they were waiting for the right conditions.

The boats all bunched up in line waiting for the chance, and they are now underway!

Olympics 2024: Cycling – men’s sprint

Turnbull was the seventh fastest qualifier, less than two tenths of a second separated these two riders.

Turnbull is happy to start behind the Chinese rider, and with one lap to go he tries to launch his way past, it was close until turn four, but the British rider has booked his place in the next round.

He won by 0.071 seconds. These heats are just getting closer and closer.

He joins Jack Carlin who had already booked his place in the next round with ease.

Olympics 2024: Sailing

It might be taking place in Marseille rather than Paris, but the men’s dingy race is taking part.

This is unbelievable, the race had just got underway, but they will all have to go back for a general recall and restart the race.

Great Britain’s Micky Beckett is competing in this race.

Olympics 2024: Cycling – men’s sprint

This is the ultimate game of cat and mouse.

There are two riders in a head to head, it is the first to cross the line after three laps of the track, winners go through and losers will have another chance via the repechages.

Olympics 2024: Cycling – Women’s team pursuit

It will be United States against New Zealand in the team pursuit final.

For those keeping an eye on timings, that race will take place at 18.17 BST.

Olympics 2024: Cycling – Women’s team pursuit

It’s three vs three now after 2500m with Great Britain cutting the gap to just on tenth. The United States need to recover and respond which they do.

With three laps to go, the US are about half a second ahead. It should be comfortable for them from here…

… yes. The United States cling on under a late onslaught from Team GB. They pass the line in a time of 4:04.629 just two tenths ahead of Team GB.

It was a new national record for them but the USA head into the gold medal race.
