    The Olympics continues on another busy day at Paris 2024 as Simone Biles missed out on history thanks to a dramatic fall off the beam but Keely Hodgkinson is gearing up for her shot at gold on the track.

    Team GB won two medals in the space of five minutes in the kayak cross, as Joe Clarke claimed silver and Kimberley Woods settled for bronze in two thrilling finals. Woods, who previously won gold in the slalom, added her second medal of the Games before Clarke sealed his silver moments later.

    Earlier, Biles faltered for the first time on the final day of the gymnastics. She fell off the balance beam during that apparatus final to miss out on a medal, and was then beaten to gold in the floor exercise final by Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. Biles took silver to win her 11th Olympic medal overall and fourth of the Games – including three golds.

    The action kicked off with the triathlon mixed relay as Great Britain lost their title to Germany after a dramatic sprint finish .

    Later on, attention switches back to athletics and focuses on Hodgkinson’s bid to win the 800m final . The Team GB star is determined to turn silver into gold after a series of near-misses, including in Tokyo three years ago, and set the fastest time in qualifying ahead of tonight’s final.
