Jeanette Kwakye and JJ Chalmers present live coverage of this morning’s action across the French capital.

The athletics is in full swing, starting with the long jump and javelin contests in the women’s heptathlon. Will Britain’s world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson be able to keep herself in medal contention? It’s also the men’s and women’s 4 x 400m relays, plus semi-finals in the men’s 800m and women’s 100m hurdles.

In the men’s boulder and lead final in sport climbing, Tony Roberts could be a contender for Team GB after impressing on the World Cup circuit. Hazel Irvine hosts another action-packed afternoon in the French capital, with diving and track cycling providing the headlines.

In the velodrome, Great Britain won the inaugural Olympic women’s madison title in Tokyo, but Laura Kenny has since retired, and Katie Archibald misses out because of injury. The new cycling taliswoman is Emma Finucane, who’s in action this afternoon in the early rounds of the sprint.

British divers Yasmin Harper and Grace Reid will be seeking to make a splash in the women’s 3m springboard final, although China are the undisputed superpower in the sport.

Gabby Logan introduces another high-octane evening of athletics, including the climax to the women’s heptathlon as Katarina Johnson-Thompson seeks Olympics redemption.

This is a fourth Olympics for Liverpudlian Johnson-Thompson, and the second in a row in which she is competing as the reigning world champion. Her bid for an elusive Olympic medal ended in agony three years ago when she collapsed on the track with an injury and was unable to continue.

She put in an incredible performance to win a second world title last summer and will need to summon all her energy for the concluding 800m as she takes on two-time Olympic champion Nafi Thiam and emerging American Anna Hall.

The men’s 400m hurdles, featuring Norway’s Karsten Warholm, promises to be another highlight, and there are also finals in the women’s 400m, men’s triple jump and women’s 10,000m.
