These handy Wikipedia pages will tell you! Mens / Womens (they will also tell you we would've gotten a team into the men's competition if the UK countries had actually gotten an agreement together on how they should be represented!)

Indeed, certainly looks like Simone is back to her best this Olympics!

PARIS 2024 | Cycling
Qualifiers for the BMX racing happened today. Beth Schriever won all three of her heats very convincingly, Kye Whyte just scraping through in tenth place though!

And that's Murray out. They definitely put up a fight though!

Caught a bit of the racewalking this morning - nice to see Ecuador getting a gold, becoming a bit more of a regular occurrence for them now!

I don't think she is transgender though? Just a woman who happens to have higher than usual testosterone levels.

PARIS 2024 | Combat Sports
Only one of Team GB's boxers made it past the first round but that is how it is sometimes! Nice to see Cindy Ngamba from the refugee team win her heat as well. Sounds like the bigger news is the controversy over allowing athletes with heightened testosterone levels to take part in the women's event - Angela Carini pulling out after 46 seconds in her fight against Imane Khelif.

I'll absolutely take Delirious being that high - thought there might have been a mistake when they didn't appear with the other 27-pointers!

PARIS 2024 | Aquatics
Nice to see a bronze for the synchronized divers today! Lois Toulson went to the same sixth form as me (albeit a few years apart) so nice 5o see her get a medal.

PARIS 2024 | Water Sports
Indeed, nice to see the rowing team back to their best after Tokyo.
-
PARIS 2024 | Triathlon
Well done for Alex Yee for taking gold and Potter for bronze as well. Seth Rider finished 29th, not washing his hands after using the loo not quite paying off then (or maybe it will in the coming days?)

PARIS 2024 | Aquatics
Gold for GB in the Relay! Fab result, especially given it was the same four as last Olympics.
-
PARIS 2024 | Miscellaneous
Aye a great gold for Hales there - with an Olympic record no less! And yes, great result for Guatemala as well.

PARIS 2024 | Aquatics
Yeah well done to him, great result! A shame the chap from Tunisia finished fourth, would've been nice to see a country that doesn't feature in swimming too often in the medals. And especially a shame for Elijah Winnington who was at the front to start with but ended up in last - I feel like there's definitely a pun to be made there!

PARIS 2024 | Triathlon
Eek at the Triathlon being postponed, hopefully it can still happen and not be reduced to a duathlon (feels a bit unfair for those who are best at swimming!)
-
PARIS 2024 | Aquatics
Great result for Richards yesterday, particularly from an outside lane! Watching tonight's swimming now, no big shocks so far.
-
PARIS 2024 | Gymnastics
Just watching the Men's team competition now - really feel for that Chinese athlete who just fell of the bar twice, especially given how much of an impact it can have on the team score.
-
PARIS 2024 | Water Sports
Absolutely - definitely worked out in our favour but crazy that the favourite can be knocked so far down by just missing one gate!
-
PARIS 2024 | Miscellaneous
Indeed, the ending was fun to watch play out! A good comeback from the lady from Hong Kong (even if, if I've worked out the format correctly, she was the favourite to win).

Canada's women have been deducted 6 points for using a drone to spy on New Zealand. Ouch!

France beat Fiji comprehensively in the Ruby Sevens. A shame Fiji couldn't defend their title but a first home gold medal must be good for French morale.
