Olympics 2024 LIVE: Latest Paris updates as Katarina Johnson-Thompson in action

There’s more bad news for Britain.

Great Britain’s pair John Gimson and Anna Burnet in the opening moments of the race, at the start line, were over the start, they had the chance to go over and correct it, they didn’t think they were over.

The race ruled that they were over and they had to pull out.

If this race does not get completed due to the wind, and 11 others have already been abandoned, then Great Britain will be on the start line, but that is the only way back for the British pair.

Into the third, there are penalties for both fighters.

This is proving a difficult fight, and it’s 1-1 in the third and final round going into the final 30 seconds.

There are no scores. This has come down to the overall number of hits and it goes to Reljikj who has knocked out the two time Olympic champion!

Jones lost the first round 7-6, so she has to win this one.

There’s a penalty against Jones, and that also gives Reljikj a point.

It’s 1-1 with a penalty apiece, but she scores with a head shot to take a 4-1 lead. It’s three points for a head shot.

Into the last 30 seconds…

There’s an appeal from the North Macedonian for a head kick, but the review shows Jones dodged expertly to pull her head away from the kick.

This goes to a deciding round with a 5-4 lead for Jones!

Britain’s Jade Jones is in action in the blue against Miljana Reljikj of North Macedonia.

The two time Olympic champion is in Paris to defend her title.

She takes the first two points quickly to move into a lead, but it’s a head shot from Reljikj – that has come out of nowhere and she added a punch. She takes a surprise 4-2 lead with 30 seconds to go.

And Jones loses the first round!

Australia’s Olympic hockey player Tom Craig has been released from police custody and apologised to his family and teammates after being arrested in Paris for buying cocaine.

“I’d firstly like to apologise for what has occurred in the last 24 hours. I made a terrible mistake. I take full responsibility for my actions,” Craig said as he left police offices.

“My actions are my own and in no way, reflect the values of my family, my teammates, my friends, my sport, and the Australian Olympic team. I’ve embarrassed you all. I’m truly sorry,” he added.

So encouraging stuff for Great Britain’s men’s four, who were stripped of their silver medal from Tokyo after CJ Ujah’s doping violation. Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake were part of that quartet alongside Zharnel Hughes – will Hughes be fit enough for the final? Regardless, you’d back Team GB to be in the medal mix if they fire.

“Me and Nethaneel do this like clockwork,” veteran Kilty tells the BBC. “We’ve been here a million times. It’s amazing to get out here with these young flying machines. It’s amazing to get out there with our fastest time of the year, and we’ll definitely push on for the final. We’ve got much more in us.”

So the qualifiers for the final are…

The Americans should take it at a canter if fully-loaded and functioning, but it’ll be anyone’s game, really, for the other medals.

A nightmare for Jamaica and only fourth for the sprinting powerhouse! Kishane Thompson took the baton with 100m to go and had it all to do after two dreadful changeovers, and though he surges from sixth, it is not enough! Jamaica miss the 4x100m final – Japan and Italy take the two spots available to fastest losers.

China, France and Canada snatch the three automatic qualifying spots, though seven of the quartets in the first heat were quicker. Thompson and his teammates look up the big screen, perplexed, perturbed and bidding adieu to Paris 2024.

Grace Reid is through in seventh, with a score of 290.05.

There is also joy for Yasmin Harper, who sneaks through into the final in 12th.

The final will take place at 2pm tomorrow.

A show of force from the United States, 37.47secs and clear air to the rest of the field. South Africa wisely utilise Akani Simbine (fourth again in the individual 100m) to anchor, and he brings them home impressively, taking them from out of contention to second.

Great Britain are third and into the final, with Louie Hinchcliffe going very well on relay debut. An anxious wait for defending champions Italy – having taken that stunning gold in Tokyo, they finish fifth in the heat and will be reliant on slow times in the second of them.
