Olympics LIVE: Katarina Johnson-Thompson starts well in heptathlon as Jade Jones suffers shock taekwondo loss and Jack Laugher in diving final

The margins are fine in speed climbing, the best male clamberers scaling the wall inside five seconds and everything often coming down to who gets the touch. It’s for that reason that Sam Watson of the United States is furious even after setting a world record – his rapid ascent is enough to earn him bronze against Rez Alipour, but Watson desperately wanted gold, and his 4.74secs would have been enough.

The American’s semi-final defeat to Wu Peng came by eight one-hundredths of a second, and the final is closer still: Indonesia’s Veddriq Leonardo beats his Chinese rival by two one-hundredths. A brilliant moment for the 27-year-old, who is from the port of Pontianak in the very west of Borneo. A first gold of the Games for Indonesia – and a first ever for the nation not won on the badminton court.

GOLD: Veddriq Leonardo (Indonesia)

There is no reprieve for the British boat – John Gimson and Anna Burnett’s error has cost them their shot at a medal, New Zealand’s Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson clinging on to bronze despite finishing eighth in the medal race.

It’s gutting for Team GB’s pairing, denied even a chance to compete after getting their position wrong on the startline. The pair are engaged to be wed later this summer – plenty to discuss on the flight back from Marseille, I’d imagine. Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti have been invited to that wedding, and will arrive as double Olympic champions having retained their Tokyo title.

GOLD: Italy (Ruggero Tita/Caterina Banti)

Silver: Argentina (Mateo Majdalani/Eugenia Bosco)

Bronze: New Zealand (Micah Wilkinson/Erica Dawson)

And Nafi Thiam can’t clear 1.95m. Katarina Johnson-Thompson also goes XXX, taking a matching 1132 point and top spot after two events.

Thiam should leapfrog to the top of the standings after the shot put this evening, but it’s been a good morning session for Johnson-Thompson.

A delighted Katarina Johnson-Thompson clears 1.92m at the third attempt, flopping over with a beaming smile as she joins the great Nafi Thiam as the only two heptathletes in the field left standing. Anna Hall, who took World Championship silver behind KJT in Budapest last year, can’t join them.

Thiam has looked supreme, as she often does in the high jump – but a first failure at 1.95m will please Johnson-Thompson, who will be very pleased if she can match her rival.

There’s more bad news for Britain.

Great Britain’s pair John Gimson and Anna Burnet in the opening moments of the race, at the start line, were over the start, they had the chance to go over and correct it, they didn’t think they were over.

The race ruled that they were over and they had to pull out.

If this race does not get completed due to the wind, and 11 others have already been abandoned, then Great Britain will be on the start line, but that is the only way back for the British pair.

Into the third, there are penalties for both fighters.

This is proving a difficult fight, and it’s 1-1 in the third and final round going into the final 30 seconds.

There are no scores. This has come down to the overall number of hits and it goes to Reljikj who has knocked out the two time Olympic champion!

Jones lost the first round 7-6, so she has to win this one.

There’s a penalty against Jones, and that also gives Reljikj a point.

It’s 1-1 with a penalty apiece, but she scores with a head shot to take a 4-1 lead. It’s three points for a head shot.

Into the last 30 seconds…

There’s an appeal from the North Macedonian for a head kick, but the review shows Jones dodged expertly to pull her head away from the kick.

This goes to a deciding round with a 5-4 lead for Jones!

Britain’s Jade Jones is in action in the blue against Miljana Reljikj of North Macedonia.

The two time Olympic champion is in Paris to defend her title.

She takes the first two points quickly to move into a lead, but it’s a head shot from Reljikj – that has come out of nowhere and she added a punch. She takes a surprise 4-2 lead with 30 seconds to go.

And Jones loses the first round!

Australia’s Olympic hockey player Tom Craig has been released from police custody and apologised to his family and teammates after being arrested in Paris for buying cocaine.

“I’d firstly like to apologise for what has occurred in the last 24 hours. I made a terrible mistake. I take full responsibility for my actions,” Craig said as he left police offices.

“My actions are my own and in no way, reflect the values of my family, my teammates, my friends, my sport, and the Australian Olympic team. I’ve embarrassed you all. I’m truly sorry,” he added.

So encouraging stuff for Great Britain’s men’s four, who were stripped of their silver medal from Tokyo after CJ Ujah’s doping violation. Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake were part of that quartet alongside Zharnel Hughes – will Hughes be fit enough for the final? Regardless, you’d back Team GB to be in the medal mix if they fire.

“Me and Nethaneel do this like clockwork,” veteran Kilty tells the BBC. “We’ve been here a million times. It’s amazing to get out here with these young flying machines. It’s amazing to get out there with our fastest time of the year, and we’ll definitely push on for the final. We’ve got much more in us.”
