Olympics LIVE: Jade Jones in Taekwondo action plus Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Jack Laugher in diving final

Lap three is done, and the swimmers are having another sip of their drinks.

After that lap Leah Crisp has slipped to 39 seconds behind the leader.

For the second Olympics running, Great Britain’s men’s team pursuit finished a race in a less than optimum position.

But where Charlie Tanfield’s crash in Tokyo three years ago was a symbol of the struggles in what most see as British Cycling’s flagship event, this was a very different scenario.

When Ethan Hayter blew up with 300 metres to go in this Olympic final to end any hopes of overhauling to Australia to take gold, there was a tinge of disappointment.

But the team of Hayter, Tanfield, Ethan Vernon and Dan Bigham had done everything within their power and came desperately close to the world record holders.

Greco-Roman wrestling can seem archaic and impenetrable to the layman – huge, powerful men locking onto one another and manoeuvring each other around a mat in some kind of massive hug.

But when Cuba’s Mijain Lopez, known as ‘Giant of Herradura’, is in the arena, it quickly becomes very simple.

Even at 41, Lopez’s superhuman strength is obvious. He decides how the combat will go and everyone else simply has to fall into line.

In Paris on Tuesday, he made history. No one, not Carl Lewis or Al Oerter or even Michael Phelps has won the same individual event at five consecutive Olympics. Until now.

World record holder Lamecha Girma from Ethiopia tripped over a barrier and fell on the final lap.

He suffered a heavy fall, lying motionless as medical staff rushed to his aid, before leaving the stadium in a neck brace on a stretcher,

“Following his fall in the 3,000m steeplechase, Lamecha Girma received immediate care from the on-site medical teams. Our thoughts are with him and we are sending him our very best wishes for a swift recovery,” Paris 2024 said in a statement.

“Paris 2024 is in close contact with the Ethiopian NOC to stay updated on his condition.”

Breaking news: Noah Lyles just lost a 200m race. Lyles is twice a world champion over the distance and had won his last 26 races. But on a still-warm evening at the Stade de France, the American sprint king was beaten to the line in this Olympic semi-final by African champion Letsile Tebogo.

Perhaps it is more accurate to say Lyles finished second, rather than lost, given he comfortably qualified for Thursday night’s final. Both men eased up in the last 20m with the finish in sight and energy to conserve. But they were flat out around the bend, where Tebogo burned into the lead, and perhaps it was a sign that Lyles will not have it all his own way.

The first event of the morning is the women’s marathon swim.

It’s taking place in the Seine, there are six laps, currently they’re over half an hour in and on their second lap.

Great Britain’s Leah Crisp was in ninth place, but more importantly she has stayed a part of the leading group that have pulled away from the rest of the pack.

Charging like a train, while rocking from side to side, Hall somehow conjured up the fourth-fastest time in history. He was only fourth in this race with 100m remaining, yet he snatched victory away from Hudson-Smith in a scorching 43.40 seconds as Zambia’s Muzala Samukonga claimed bronze.
