Olympics LIVE: Team GB target equestrian gold before Sky Brown skateboards and Josh Kerr battles Jakob Ingebrigtsen

They still held hands, beamed wide smiles, and stepped onto the podium as one. Not for gold, despite leading for the majority of the race, or for silver, despite being initially declared runners-up, but for bronze, third in a three-team sprint finish separated by one-hundredth of a second on the line. A golden morning in Paris turned into devastation for Great Britain, as the reigning champions in the triathlon mixed relay lost their crown and settled for the minor medal by the barest of margins.

The result was changed after an investigation. A review of the photo finish quickly found Beth Potter was beaten to second by the indefatigable American Taylor Knibb after Germany’s Laura Lindemann sprinted to the gold that had been within Team GB’s grasp for so long. They had set out hard, with Alex Yee, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Sam Dickinson and then Potter stretching Great Britain’s lead to 12 seconds before the world champion was reeled in on the bike and fell behind on the run.

Josh Kerr’s 1500m final showdown with Jabok Ingebrigtsen has been dubbed a “race for the ages” and is perhaps the highlight of the entire athletics schedule at these Olympics. Kerr is the world champion and bronze medallist from Tokyo while Ingebrigtsen is the reigning Olympic champion – there is also no love lost between the pair, which only adds to what should be an epic at the Stade de France.

Elsewhere in the athletics, the women’s 200m final is set to feature the new 100m champion Julian Alfred, as well as American star Gabby Thomas. Great Britain’s Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith will hope to go through and join them.

It was a record-breaking opening day at the track cycling and the men’s team sprint side will look to follow the women’s gold. Jack Carlin, Edward Lowe and Hamish Turnbull.

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix targets a second Olympic diving medal in the individual 10m final, having won synchro bronze along with

Sky Brown won bronze in Tokyo at the age of just 13, and the now 16-year-old targets a second Olympic medal in the final of the women’s park.

Team GB won gold in the equestrian team jumping earlier in the Games, and Ben Maher, Harry Charles and Scott Brash now go for individual gold in the jumping final.

Elsewhere, Lewis Richardson is guaranteed a bronze medal already in the men’s light middleweight. In the semi-finals, he goes for either bronze or silver against Mexico’s Marco Verde.

Qin Haiyang appeared to hit back at comments from rival Adam Peaty as he declared any “doubt” around China’s swimming golds at Paris 2024 is a “joke”.

Qin was implicated in a report from the New York Times published before the Olympics which claimed that the World Anti-Doping agency (Wada) took no action when 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for the banned performance enhancing drug trimetazidine (TMZ) in 2021.

The swimmers were allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics when Wada accepted the findings of a Chinese investigation that the results were due to contamination from a hotel kitchen, and 11, including the 25-year-old Qin, have competed in Paris.

The world champion in the 100m and 200m breaststroke was unable to win individual medals at the Olympics but was part of the China team that raced to gold in the 4x100m medley relay on Sunday night – which was followed by explosive comments from Peaty.

Imane Khelif failed a gender eligibility test due to the presence of certain chromosomes, the International Boxing Association (IBA) has said.

Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, 28, has faced similar backlash while securing a bronze medal at least in Paris, after she was disqualified from the same tournament as Khelif for failing the same test. However, the IBA – which organised the World Championships but is no longer involved with the Olympics – would not initially reveal why the boxers failed their tests.

Dina Asher-Smith bounced back from 100 metres heartbreak to snap up a place in the Olympic 200 metres final at Stade de France.

The 28-year-old, who was reduced to tears after missing out on Saturday’s final showdown in the women’s 100 metres, needed to finish in the top two of the second semi-final to guarantee herself another shot at a first individual Olympic medal.

She got the job done in 22.31 seconds on Monday night, storming through the second corner before American Gabby Thomas, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist, charged ahead in the final stretch to cross the line first in 21.86.

So problematic is the beam that in the team events, a performance cannot be judged until the beam stage is complete, because of the chance of a slip.

But the Olympic final took it to a new level, with four of the eight finalists slipping and at least having to put their hands on the plank to steady themselves, if not tumbling off altogether.

Adam Peaty called on anti-doping authorities to “wake up and do your job” after China stormed to gold in the men’s 4x100m medley relay, and suggested his rival Qin Haiyang should be “out of the sport”.

Peaty was unable to sign off his third and potentially last Olympics with a second medal to add to his silver in the 100m breaststroke, as the Team GB quartet of Peaty, Duncan Scott, Matthew Richards and Oliver Morgan finished fourth.

Molly Caudery broke down in tears after seeing her Olympics dreams shattered at the Stade de France as she failed to clear a height in the women’s pole vault qualification.

The 24-year-old from Truro was tipped as a gold medal contender after winning the World Indoor Championships earlier this year as well as breaking the British record with a jump of 4.92m, making her the best performer of 2024.
