Women’s 1500m: Kipyegon’s gold set an Olympic record, breaking her own set in Tokyo. She comes across in 3:51:29.
Silver goes to Australia’s Jessica Hull and GB’s Georgia Bell has bronze.
Taekwondo: “Allez les Bleues” rings around the venue as the first round gets underway. The French coach wants a review for a head kick, the crowd thinks Laurin has landed it and it is given. The Frenchwoman leads 3-0.
Laurin takes the third round 3-0 but as we have seen in the earlier bouts anything can happen from here.Share
Taekwondo: So on we go at the Grand Palais, which is a stunning venue, with the women’s +67kg gold medal content. The home crowd goes wild for France’s Althea Laurin, who faces Uzbekistan’s Svetlana Osipova.Share
Rebecca McGowan told Eurosport after losing the bronze medal: “It’s a bit raw right now, I am just devastated.
“A massive thank you to those in the crowd supporting and all at home. I am just sorry.”Share
Salimi wins men’s taekwondo +80kg gold
Salimi wins with an impressive comeback, Cunningham takes silver.
Both athletes were giving it their all but they were both blocking each other’s moves well.
Again the first minute rendered no points and it came down to a tense last few seconds with Salimi landing a trunk. But Salimi then landed a head kick to seal the contest.
