2024 Olympics in Paris: medal count updates - who has won more? Tally by country today, July 31

19 seconds in 92 years

That's right. As we look ahead to the final later today, our friends at the Olympics have shared this lovely split screen footage of the women's 100m freestyle finals of 1928 and 2020.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that today's winning time – and last place's time, to be honest – will be somewhat closer to that of Tokyo.

Cassandre Beaugrand wins gold for hosts France

Beaugrand came home in the women's triathlon to rapturous applause and screams from her compatriots on the streets of Paris, and claimed gold. France slide up into second place in the table for the time being.

Julie Derron added a silver medal for Switzerland and Team GB's Beth Potter takes the bronze. Well done to everyone in that event. A tough gig!

What is the highest difficulty score in gymnastics? Scoring and rules at the 2024 Olympics in Paris

Did you know that in artistic gymnastics there are two main components to a gymnast’s final score: the Difficulty and the Execution, known as the D-score and E-score?

Well, before Biles and the rest get out for more stunning demonstrations of their abilities, get familiar for how the judges view their efforts.

Women's triathlon result getting closer

Some very impressive performances going on here...

Triathlon underway

The women's triathlon is go, with the swimming first leg along the Seine given the green light earlier.

Then comes the cycle. Then the run. Around two hours of gruelling competition. Fabulous, isn't it?

Olympics from space

Even the NASA crew are in the Olympics mood up above us in the International Space Station. Imagine Simone Biles could perform with zero gravity. I'd pay plenty to see that!

Olympic gold for Simone Biles sets new record: how many more can she win at Paris 2024?

One of the biggest headlines from yesterday's action was the gold won by Team USA in the women's gymnastics. Simone Biles led the way and with that medal made history.

And she still has more to go for. An incredible comeback from an amazing athlete.
