Defay gets the first wave of the women’s bronze medal match. There is only a short barrel but the 30-year-old adds three powerful turns to score a solid 5.83. Hennessy follows up straight away, three quick carves getting her on the board with a 3.00. The women’s bronze medal match is up next as France’s Johanne Defay takes on Costa Rican Brisa Hennessy. The surfers are making their way to the Tahitian water now. Brazil’s Gabriel Medina adds an Olympic bronze medal to his three world titles, edging out Peru’s Alonso Correa 15.54 to 12.43. A pair of clean barrel rides were the difference, but Medina’s aggression through the turns also stood out. Correa is waiting patiently as the clock ticks down. He has two minutes to find a wave – with a hefty barrel – that offers an 8.72 or better. Medina gets another barrel, holding his speed to sit deep and make a classy exit. The Brazilian goes straight into an alley-oop but loses his feet on the landing. That’s still enough for Medina to stretch his lead over Correa – 15.27 to 12.43 – with less than nine minutes remaining. The Peruvian will likely need a tube to overtake Medina but the good news is that heavier waves have now arrived. Three-time world champion Medina bursts back into the heat as he gets a deep, long tube and hangs on through the exit. Three fast carves make it surely the best score of the heat so far. Correa was on the wave ahead but missed out on a barrel and could only throw in four carves. The Brazilian gets back out quicker than Correa and takes priority for the next set. Correa is piling on the pressure with the next wave as he gets a short tube, riding out from the back of it, then carves hard to make the most of his turn. The Peruvian now leads 11.83 to Medina’s 6.54 with 20 minutes remaining. Surfing bronze medal match: The two goofy footers are made to wait for a set to come through but Correa gets the first wave of the men’s third-place final. The Peruvian holds on as the barrel closes out then adds a couple of carves to get the first score on the board. Medina responds straight away, no tube so he carves hard, but Correa looked to have the better of their opening waves. While we wait for the surfers to be dragged out, catch up on France’s extra-time victory over Egpyt in the men’s football semi-final: Brazilian Tatiana Weston-Webb is through to the women’s surfing final against Caroline Marks after defeating Brisa Hennessy 13.66 to 6.17. Hennessy will face Johanne Defay in the bronze medal match. The men’s third-place surf off is up next between Gabriel Medina and Alonso Correa, as the surfers hit the water. Thanks to Daniel for keeping things running smoothly during a monster stint of day 10 action. We’re still officially in the 10th day of Paris 2024 as the surfing in Tahiti edges towards the medal matches. Australia’s Jack Robinson will face Tahitian-born, French surfer Kauli Vaast for the men’s gold medal. Brazilian Gabriel Medina is up against Peru’s Alonso Correa for the bronze. Caroline Marks is through to the women’s final with Tatiana Weston-Webb and Brisa Hennessy down to the last few minutes of their semi-final to find out who will join the American in surfing for gold. Aha! We may be about to bring you the aforementioned surfing! Stick with us! Righto, that is us done for another day. Doesn’t really feel like it does it justice to call it a day, but there it is. and the best thing about it? There’ll be another along shortly – and already is, with the surfing. Otherwise, we’ve got the usual array of wrestling, canoe, skateboarding and such. There’s also more men’s 200m, men’s team sprint cycling, and the big track and field finals are the men’s long jump, the men’s 1500m – yes, that is Josh Kerr v Jakob Ingebrigtsen – and the women’s 3oo0m steeplechase. Oh, and the semis in the women’s football, USA v Germany and Brazil v Spain, and some boxing medal-matches. Goodness. But in the meantime, Keely Hodgkinson is Olympic champion, Mondo Duplantis is still Olympic champion and improved his own world record just because he knew he could, and Britain’s women, Emma Finucane, Katy Marcant and Sophie Capewell won the first of the track cycling golds. Thanks for your company and comments – peace out. France beat Egypt 3-1 (a.e.t.) and will play Spain in the final of the men"s football Egypt led and put up a good fight, but France had too much class. Doue made a big difference when he came on, while Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta are steaming hot at the moment. Surfing: Australia’s Jack Robinson is guaranteed at least an Olympic silver medal after reaching the men’s final with victory over three-time world champion Gabriel Medina. After a seemingly endless wait for the competition to get back under way due to unfavourable conditions at Teahupo’o, athletes finally got back into the water on Monday (Tahiti time) and Robinson won a cagey heat against the Brazilian with a score of 12.33 to Medina’s 6.33. In the gold medal contest, he will face French Polynesian Kauli Vaast. Olise gets on the ball, on the move, creates space for a shot … and snaps it just past the far post. He’s going to have a lot of fun at Bayern. I cannot tell you how close I was to doing the same thing. So close I feel poorly when I think about it, as though I actually did. The celebrations at the end of the floor competition were great. Laura Kenny knew. Michael Olise is so good. Doue, who’s been excellent since he came on, bundles into a challenge, falls, and has the ball walloped against his prone back, in the process delivering a visionary assist for Olise, who leathers a low instashot inside the near post to finish the match. France lead 3-1 and are going to play Spain for the gold medal. …and Azizo teases a low curler just wide. Restes, though, had it covered. We’re into added time in the first period of extra time, but Egypt have a free-kick to the left of the D. In the circumstances, this is a chance… How good these last few days have been is actually quite overwhelming. We’ll be wrecks by Sunday. There’s some lovely stuff in here. Noah Lyles is a superstar. And talking of ridiculous. Imagine how much more is to come from both of these. Just a ridiculous individual. How easy he makes look something incomprehensibly taxing is indecent. Crystal Palace score again for France! Olise receives a short corner and bursts to take a yard out of his marker, caressing a gorgeous ball into the box which Sildillia nods back across, and Mateta finishes yet again. It’s fair to say he’s on one. “The Icelandic commentator invoked the theft of the Mona Lisa before France equalised,” returns Kári Tulinius, “but I wouldn’t go that far. However, it’s nice to watch a fun French team. Les Bleus are at their best when they blend steel and romance, and after a dull Euros campaign it’s nice to see some poetry being inked in blue.” I can’t disagree with that. It feels like the rich football nations will keep producing rafts of talented youngsters now. I thought Omar Fayed might get a second booking for handball, after he was booked for dissent, protesting against the review of his handball. But to make things right, he’s had the electric Doué rinse past him before chopping him down; out comes the second yellow, then the red, and Egypt will play 28 minutes with 10. The Netherland players celebrate with their families and that’s lovely to see. Meantime, in Lyon, extra time is under way. De Jong, we learn, was the Netherlands’ flag-bearer. Decent few days for him. The Netherlands beat France 17-16 to win gold in the 3v3 basketball Oh look at that. Just look at it! De Jong nails a two from wide, and wins gold for the Netherlands with a moment of unfathomable inspiration! He has made his life, right there! Back to the 3v3, there are seconds to go and France lead 16-15 … but Netherlands equalise at the death! 16-16 and the first to two wins! France score first… The final whistle goes, the score after 90 France 1-1 Egypt. Extra time it is. No penalty given! Bade fouled Fayed as they contested the high ball, says the ref, which caused him to … lift both arms in the air? Apparently so, and the crowd go wild. That is a nonsense according to my grasp of things, but perhaps we could then say the error wasn’t clear and obvious, I don’t know. Really, I don’t know. The ball’s pumped into the box, Loic Bade wins the header, and Fayed raises arms, the ball hitting one. Open and shut as far as I understand the laws, except we know that these days, no one understands anything. The game has been stopped for I don’t even know how long – I’ve not a clue why it took so long to go to the screen. Finally, the ref is sent to the screen and Fayed is booked for arguing – he could go off too, you know, because his handball, if given, could attract a further caution. I just can’t see how this isn’t a penalty. What?! Back in the football, a stray Egyptian hand has flicked a high ball pumped into the box, off a French head – the defender was claiming a foul, I think – and that looks a penalty to me! VAR are having a look and Mohamed Elneny is leading the complaints – I can’t see an infringement from France – but Omar Fayed should be the target of them – his arm was up, it didn’t need to be, and what else is to be said? I meant to say, we had another look at the 5000m DQ – remember that?! – and I guess we might say that Tsegay did run in front of Kipyegon, but Kipyegon was the first to deploy hands, moving her away. It looks harsh to me, but i can see why the call was the call and feel like Kipyegon could just’ve done nothing – and probably has, on many other occasions, done nothing – without significant cost. Pressure! Oh man, we’re now watching an interview with Katy Marchant – remember her, she won gold in the team cycling three years ago earlier this evening. She’s holding her son, who can’t be older than three, and imagine how proud he’s going to be when he’s old enough to grasp what his mum’s been up to. In the 3x3, France lead Netherlands 4-3 with 6.55 to go in the first. Keely Hodgkinson is in some serious company. Mary Peters, Ann Packer, Mary Rand, Sally Gunnell, Jess Ennis, Kelly Holmes, Denise Lewis, Tessa Sanderson – and whoever i’ve missed, apologies. But there are now 10 British women who’ve won Olympic gold in track and field; Keely is one. And she’s plenty of time to come back for more. Crystal Palace have equalised for France! The irrepressible Michael Olise surges through the centre and slides a ball in behind, Jean-Philippe Mateta slamming an expert’s finish high into the net! Ten to go in the football, Egypt still leading France 1-0, while the men’s 3v3 basketball will soon get going, France taking on the Netherlands. “What a jump that was from Duplantis,” writes Krishnamoorthy V. “More fulfilling was how the American and the Greek kept egging him on and whipping up the crowd in support. If you ever need a video to demonstrate sporting spirit, this is it. Massive respect to all three.” Agreed. On Eurosport, they were saying the vaulters are collegiate in the way they compete, advising and helping each other, and seeing them enjoy each other’s success is glorious. Oh goodness me, France hit bar and post in the same attack, while Mondo rings the bell, Gabby Logan pointing out that we hear the sound before the rope is pulled. How can we carry on?! Back to the men’s football semi, which we’ve been forced to neglect, Egypt have taken the lead against France! We’ve 27 minutes plus added time left to play. There’s a lovely and moving camaraderie between the pole vaulters. They know Mondo is unbeatable, hard as they’re trying, and the three medalists celebrate each other’s success, each of them elated. I guess it’s like when Roger Black said the 400m was two races, Michael Johnson v the clock then the rest, and he won his taking silver in Atlanta. Germany win gold in the women"s 3v3 basketball! They beat Spain 17-16 in the final. “Wow, Daniel, what a run from Keely Hodgkinson,” writes Guy Hornsby. “It wasn’t quick, but it won’t matter. All she needed to do was keep everyone behind her, and when it came down to it, they couldn’t live with her pace. A negative split on the last 200m on the last lap, which is really impressive. As you’ve said, she’s still so young and you hope this huge win will allow her to kick on even further. What an athlete she is.” Yup – it was never in the remotest doubt, which in an 800m race is saying something. Women’s freestyle wrestling: US viewers have yet to get a look at one of the most dominant performances by a US athlete in these Games thus far, clinching at least a silver medal. Amit Elor, making her Olympic debut at age 20 after winning two world championships, won her matches today 10-2, 8-0 and 10-0 to reach tomorrow’s gold-medal match against Kyrgyzstan’s Meerim Zhumanazarova, the bronze medalist in Tokyo and the 2021 world champion. Mondo might’ve attacked his record in a regular meet to make more money, but no: he wanted to give his best – the best – at the greatest show on earth, and goodness me has he delivered. We are privileged to be living in his time. Tell you mum, tell your dad, tell everyone you know: Mondo Duplantis is it. Mondo Duplantis of Sweden breaks the pole vault world record, jumping 6.25 and taking the gold medal! OH MY COMPLETE AND UTTER DAYS! He absolutely annihilates the jump and Paris 2024 belongs to him! He leaps, he bounds, he embraces, and he might be the best anything there is in the world right now! I can’t believe what I’m seeing here! He is a superstar, he is perfection, he is NOW! And here he goes! Back to the pole vault, Mondo is going for a world record 6.25 – his third attempt, having broken it just a few weeks ago! So when Hodgkinson speaks to BBCm she’s immediately reminded that she’ll soon be enjoying similar. That’s when it’ll sink in, she thinks, and when we’ll see some emotion; if not, they can always get Hazel in to remind her of any sad life events to get her going. On the race, she felt it could be run any way and probably wanted it to be a bit slower at the bell. But everyone was tired after the semis, so it was tough and she saved herself for the last 100, thinking composure when she could feel Moraa behind her. She had a cheeky look at the screen to check she was going to win and she’s now Olympic champ; for the next four years, no one can take it away from her. No one ever, old mate. This year was the year she tried to make the step up and she thinks people could really tell. There’s also more there, she reckons, so the future is bright, and she’s super-happy to bring it home for her team. Her face is like an absolute lighthouse and it’s joyous to behold. Meantime, we’ve got the 100m medal ceremony. Noah Lyles looks pretty happy, I’d say, but we don’t get the stars and stripes fading into his face fading into his winning run, as I erroneously thought convention stipulated. I’m still buzzing from that race, I must say, and dropping Hodgkinson on top of that is extremely over-stiumlated. Hodgkinson tells Eurosport she’s dreamed of this so much it hasn’t sunk in yet. The crowd were amazing, and told there’ve only been nine female British Olympic champions, she accepts that she doesn’t realise it yet, but will enjoy seeing Kelly Holmes. She’s so happy to fulfil what she thought she could do – how many of us can say that? – and she says she had to compose herself before she saw her family. She feels relief because there was so much pressure – the rounds were the hardest part, making sure she got to the final, and asked what we should know about her that we don’t, she balks at a hard question. People were saying it was hers to lose, but she’s been dealing with growing up, with pressure, and she’s shown how resilient she is and how much she wanted it. What a moment! What an athlete! I’m not sure we’ll see two more dominant performances in t&f than we’ve seen tonight. Mondo is just so calm – he knows no one can beat him and so do the rest. Hodgkinson, meanwhile, has established herself at that level with tonight’s performance – she can’t be beaten from the front, and she can’t be beaten with a kick. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with from here. Gold secure – Kendricks takes silver for USA – Mondo is now going for 6.10, a new Olympic record – by seven seconds. His world record is 6.24, and he oozes over this. He is just remarkable. Hodgkinson rings the bell with gusto, and her elation is flowing through the screen. I reckon the 800m might be the nastiest race to have to do and she’s taken it to such a level here. She was in total control of that race, and it being tougher than expected tells us just how dominant she is in this event. I can’t wait to hear from her. During the 5000m, I blamed Tsegai for running in front of Kipyegon, and now Kipyegon’s disqualification is confirmed, we see it again and i still think that. I certainly have no clue why Tsegai didn’t suffer the same fate, for all the difference it makes; I doubt we’ve heard the last of this one. At a mere 22, Hodgkinson has so much left to accomplish; how good can she get? No one is close to her and she’s still improving; look at her greeting her team! Imagine how proud her parents are! Her mates were right: they knew what was going to happen, so did Hodgkinson, and though she was pushed, she never wavered or faltered, winning in 1:56.72. Tsige Duguma of Ethiopia takes silver in 1:57.15, qwit Mary Moraa of Kenya bronze in 1:57.42. Keely Hodgkinson wins gold for GB in the women"s 800m! A dominant performance in a tough race; she is brilliant! Hodgkinson leads from Moraa in the home straight and Hodgkinson goes away! Hodgkinson leads at the bell and it’s quick and getting quicker. She stretches them out and can anyone go with her? We’re ready to go in the women’s 800m! The row is something, and Hodgkinson, in lane five, hangs back as they break, tucking into third place before moving level with Duguma of Ethiopia, who leads. Valarie Allman of USA wins gold in the women"s discus! She retains the totle, with Feng Bin of China taking silver and Sandra Elkasević of Croatia the bronze. On the one hand, Keely Hodgkinson is under insane pressure, given how favoured she is; on the other, she knows if she runs well, it’s over. How will she handle those realities? Women’s 3v3 basketball A bronze medal wasn’t what the women’s 3x3 basketball team had in mind after taking gold, albeit with four different players, in Tokyo. The USA followed up with a World Cup championships in 2023. But when Cameron Brink suffered an ACL injury in June, the team was clearly thrown off. They lost their first three games to Germany, Azerbaijan and Australia, playing with a surprising lack of poise. But they rattled off four straight wins, then routed China in the play-in round. Spain beat the USA in the semifinals to send them to the bronze-medal game. Canada took a 7-3 lead early. The USA rallied to tie but again fell behind 12-9. Hailey Van Lith had an assist, a free throw and a one-point shot to tie it at 12. Canada again took a one-point lead, but Van Lith fed the ball to Dearica Hamby for a one-pointer and a free throw. The defense slammed the door from there, and the USA took bronze with a 16-13 win. Kenya"s Faith Kipyegon is disqualified from the women"s 5000m! Sifan Hassan is upgraded to silver, with Nadia Battocletti now taking bronze! I imagine there’ll be an appeal from Kenya; we shall see. Out the corner of my eye, on my fourth screen, I just saw tape of Kipyegon and Tsegay shoving each other, it doesn’t look great from either … AND THE JUDGES AGREE! Karalis takes bronze in the pole vault, clearing 5.90; Kendricks will now challenge Mondo for the gold; good luck with that one, old mate. Help fund gold-standard reporting In a few minutes, someone’s life is going to be changed for ever. But, behind every great athlete – or live sports blog – there’s a great team. The Guardian’s journalism is also a huge collaborative effort: from reporters on the ground to the editors and lawyers getting it out to the world. But, whether it’s covering the Olympics, big elections or producing vital investigative projects, we need your help. If you’re not already a Guardian supporter, we’d love to have you on board. We can’t do any of this without you. Next on the track: Keely Hodgkinson goes for gold in the women’s 800m final. In the football, it’s France 0-0 Egypt, and we now see tape of Mondo’s most recent clearance – he"s not close to missing it, and he enjoys it, muchly. He looks miles better than the rest. Back to the men’s pole, Mondo leads on 6.00, with Kendricks second on 5.95 – and from whose Wikipedia page, I enjoyed this line: “He also lettered in cross-country and soccer. In 2011, he was named the Gatorade boys’ high school track and field athlete of the year for Mississippi.” Who doesn’t yearn to letter; what’s not edifying about Gatorade sponsoring a high school award?
