Olympics 2024 LIVE: Latest Paris medal results as Adam Peaty and Katie Ledecky in swimming action

Anna Henderson powered to a stunning silver in a Parisian deluge just two months after she feared her Olympic dreams might be over.

The 25-year-old broke her collarbone for the second time this year in May but battled back to full fitness in time to take on the women’s time trial.

Several riders suffered falls as rain swept across the French capital, but former skier Henderson was able to stay on-piste and crossed Pont Alexandre III in 41:09.83, fast enough to edge out Chloe Dygert – who was among those to come off her bike – for silver by less than a second.

Olympic women’s football champions Canada have been docked six points, with head coach Bev Priestman suspended for a year, after the team admitted to using a drone to spy on their opponents.

The Canadian Olympic Committee said they were informed of the incident and took the decision to send Priestman home on Friday, as well as Canadian officials Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander, who have also been banned for a year.

Fifa, who fast-tracked their investigation, found Priestman and her two assistants “were each found responsible for offensive behavior and violation of the principles of fair play.”

Nothing plays with the emotions quite like sport. And few athletes have ridden a rollercoaster quite like Scarlett Mew Jensen after she kick-started the Team GB medal train in Paris.

Minutes after winning an unexpected bronze, alongside diving teammate Yasmin Harper in the women’s synchronised 3m springboard final, she revealed a partial back facture just three months ago almost prevented her from competing at all.

The 22-year-old feared her Games were over before she’d even packed a bag but after six weeks of rest she was back twisting and contorting her body to a bronze that marks Team GB’s first opening-day success in 20 years.

The pair shed tears when the scoreboard confirmed their place on the podium, and no wonder. Australia’s Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith had looked set to beat them until a howler of a last dive cleared the path for a British podium – and the sweetest of moments for Mew Jensen.

The Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) received a letter and photos that were sent to its president, Ingmar De Vos, from animal rights group Peta on Friday accusing Parro of mistreatment.

One photo shows Parro hyper-flexing Safira’s neck in a prohibited movement called Rollkur – whereby the horse’s breathing is compromised – and the FEI responded 24 hours later by warning Parro about his conduct.

The greatest player in the world. Antoine Dupont’s wizardry lit up the Olympics to deliver a moment, perhaps already the moment of Paris 2024. Fiji, for so long the kings of rugby sevens, fell under his charm. This truly was magnifique.

Rayan Rebbadj clutched his head in disbelief at full time, witnessing this tour de force up close, his teammate has not only helped dethrone the two-time Olympic champions but steamrolled them with a breathtaking second-half performance. That’s what sevens and its furious tempo will do.

And yet, Dupont is an anomaly, a contradiction to this young sport, which is fast emerging as a rival to 15s for entertainment and perhaps rugby’s answer to T20 cricket. When more than 130,000 people attend a day of rugby on the eve of the opening ceremony, you know something is brewing. And Dupont, already the master of the more traditional form of this sport, may have reimagined what’s possible here too.

Read Jack Rathborn’s analysis from the Stade de France:

Australia’s Ariarne Titmus defended her Olympic title in the women’s 400m freestyle final ahead of Canada’s Summer McIntosh while finishing more than three seconds clear of American great Katie Ledecky.

In the highly anticipated rematch of their thrilling final in Tokyo three years ago, Titmus added to her growing reputation as she led from start to finish and executed a carefully managed race to claim a victory that at, 3:57:49, was still two seconds off her world record time.

At 17, McIntosh claimed her first Olympic medal while Ledecky, the seven-time Olympic champion, took a step closer to becoming America’s most decorated female Olympian. The 27-year-old, who is competing at her fourth Games, needs two more medals of any kind in Paris.

More complaints coming from the tennis players at Roland Garros – this time from Rafael Nadal. After playing some late-night doubles with Carlos Alcaraz this evening, the Spaniard appears to be playing early tomorrow afternoon – not ideal for his recovery.

“I’m playing at 2pm? I don’t understand, it’s 10 at night. It seems outrageous to me! I’ll have to talk to the team to see what is the best option to achieve results.”

A brilliant first day of action in Paris but how does the medal table look?

Matt Richards spoke to BBC TV after Team GB finished fifth in the men’s 4x100m freestyle final.

“It is frustrating, we really wanted to try and get into the medals tonight, so it is tough to have come out on the wrong side of it. I thought we all put in a great effort, all four of us, after competing this morning as well. We couldn’t have asked for much more, an honest effort and we move on to tomorrow.

On the 4x200m freestyle relay: “The relays are a huge opportunity for us, we really want to get after it and put ourselves up against the best. We will give it our all.”

Adam Peaty gave a simple message before the latest step of his 100m breaststroke defence: bring the A-Game. And although not yet looking the same force as three years ago, the Olympic champion remains the one to beat as he cruised into Sunday night’s final in Paris.

A shot at history now awaits, as Peaty bids to become only the second male swimmer after Michael Phelps to win the same event at three successive Olympics.

But his closest competitor for gold is now firmly in view. China’s Qin Haiyang brings an intriguing rivalry to the Olympics and will start next to the Briton, with Peaty in his favoured lane 4 and Qin in 5. Peaty’s time of 58.86 seconds was just 0.07 ahead of Qin in their respective semi-finals, and if the margins are that tight when going for gold then it will be an electrifying race, both inside and outside of the pool.
