a lot of the girls get out hard and i thought it would be a bit of a battle to get in position which i think it was. yes, it didn't pan out how i thought, but that is 800m racing for you. i wanted to stay out of trouble. it can be brutal out there. i stuck to my lane, kept composed and kept kicking for that line. mondo duplantis says "the party is going to be "pretty big" after retaining his olympic pole vault title at the paris games. the swede proved once again that he is in a world of his own as he cruised to victory at the stade de france with a clearance of 6m, sam kendricks won silver, greece's emmanouil karalis bronze. duplantis is the first man to retain the olympic pole vault title since the american bob richards in 1956 but a sell—out crowd then watched duplantis break the old olympic record before clearing 6m 25 to better his own world record. that's the ninth time that the 24—year—old swede

has bettered the world mark. i guess i have been fortunate enough do it several times now, but every time the feeling is kind of the same. i think this was probably a more extreme version of the feeling, but when i'm going over the bar, it isjust like... it doesn't feel real in a way, so that was more kind of hysteria and freaking out. it was a fantastic spectacle at the stade de france and a very special night for the swedish supporters in the crowd. he is a legend already, but he will be a legend for a long time. yes. i would say he is bigger than inaudible. he needed to challenge himself and win over himself and that wasjust magic, wasn't it? the best ending there could ever be. wonderful! i get goosebumps or whatever

it is called. _ especially when he took the world record. - it come here to stade de france and see him getting the world record, it's a dream. there was gold on the track for kenya's beatrice chebet in the 5000m. she produced a stunning finish down the home straight to snatch gold from her teammate faith kipyegon. however, shortly after the race had finished, kipyegon was disqualified for pushing, so sifan hassan of the netherlands took silver and italy's nadia battocletti claimed bronze. 100m championjulien alfred is into the 200m final later on tuesday. great britain's dina asher smith and daryll neita are also through. the usa's gabby thomas set the fastest time in the semis whilst a day after winning the men's 100m, noah lyles booked his place in wednesday's semifinals of the 200m

after comfortably winning his heat. we've had the first day of the track cycling. just one gold on offer and that was always going to be great britain's in the women's team sprint, emma finucane, katy marchant and sophie capewell broke the world record in each of their three races, and they beat new zealand in the gold medal race by half a second. the kiwis had also broken the world record in the first round, it's the first time great britain have competed in the event since 2012 — and the first time they have won gold. simone biles failed to sign off from the games with another gold in the gymnastics. the american took silver on floor and finished out of the medals on the beam. here's our sports correspondent katie gornall. she came into this competition today with this aura of invincibility after winning those three gold medals

earlier in paris, but first up it was the team final and we know what a fiendishly difficult bit of apparatus that is, ten centimetres wide, takes no prisoners and biles made a few mistakes and fell off the beam. she wasn't the only one to do so but it left out of contention for a medal with a gold going to italy's alistair marceau, 21 years old, but biles appeared to be distracted during her routine and seem to complain to her coach of crowd noise coming from the stands. afterwards in the press conference to explain more and this is what she had to say. beam final is always the most stressful, but usually we have music or background noise, whatever that may be, and honestly we do better in environments when there is noise going on because it feels most like practice, so today you could hear some of the android ring tones going off, the photo clickers,

whatever that was, so you are trying to stay in your zone and people start cheering and the shushing gets louder, so they should be shushed because they are louder. it was really weird and awkward. on from that it went to the second and last event, the floor final. wales was a huge favourite for gold in this, but the score was set by brazil's rebeca andrade, the popular brazilian who had a really energetic and entertaining routine. biles�*s routine which followed after had higher difficulty with, but with those huge tumbles she pulls up, the height and power, comes big risks and she stepped out of bounds twice during her routine and ultimately that cost her a gold medal. let's move away from the olympics — some very sad cricket news, with tributes paid to former surrey and england batter graham thorpe, who's died at the age of 55. he played 100 tests for england before he retired from playing in 2005. he then moved into coaching.

in a statement, the england and wales cricket board said, "there seem to be no appropriate words to describe "the deep shock we feel at graham's death. "more than one of england's finest—ever batters, "he was a beloved member of the cricket family "and revered by fans all over the world." graham thorpe, who's died at 55. well, earlier we spoke to former england captain david gower, who said on his day, thorpe was one of the best batters to ever play the professional game. i think the outstanding thing about graham was he was good at everything. if you look at ambrose and walsh in the early 90s, mid—90s you have the great spinners of the world,

so warne and murali, both of whom he got runs against. i think that gives you the range of his talents. in australia he was good, in west indies it was good, at home he was good, in sri lanka he was good, so i think he has got... he covered the bases. the key to coaching is empathy. and of course when he got the experience that graham has, it is the ability to get into someone�*s mind. everyone is different. that is the tough thing about coaching. people who can contribute to the overall confidence of that dressing room, so people who can be upbeat, people who can be bubbly, take the heat out of a pressure situation, people who can get runs in the pressure situations and someone like graham would have done that. the premier league starts a week on friday and west ham have continued to strengthen their squad, signing german striker niclas fullkrug on a four—year deal from borussia dortmund. chelsea and england midfielder conor gallagher is closing in on a move to atletico madrid. the 2a—year—old, who joined chelsea when he was eight, captained the side last season. he's agreed a move to la liga

with atletico having a £33 million offer accepted. from september, the home of english rugby union, twickenham, will go by a different name. it will be known as the allianz stadium from next month after a sponsorship deal between the rugby football union and the insurance company. the rfu say the deal will be beneficial for grass roots rugby. just time before we go to look at the medal table from paris. china lead the way with 21 gold medals — 53 in total. the us are second — 20 gold medals to them and australia are in third — just ahead of the hosts france and great britain.

more medal chances on tuesday. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. hello there. tuesday is going to feel cooler and fresher, some sunshine, could be a few showers as well. on monday, though, the highest temperature of the day was in north—eastern scotland. temperatures in the moray firth got up to 27 degrees. that was in this warm and humid air ahead of this weather front here, which is bringing some rain in from the west. following on from that, we see the cooler and fresher air moving into the northwest of the uk. the rain on that weather front increasingly light and patchy, but quite a change coming into northern ireland. temperatures some ten degrees

lower than at the same time on monday morning. a more comfortable night for sleeping. quite muggy, though, across the midlands and eastern england. a little rain here, could prove to be a bit hit and miss. that moves through, then we get some sunshine following. the odd shower coming in over the irish sea, but most of these showers getting blown into northern ireland and western scotland. a bit drier in eastern scotland, but we're not going to see the high temperatures we had on monday in that cooler and fresher air. the highest temperatures towards the southeast of england, the mid 20s here. but with that weather front out of the way, we still have the low pressure getting closer to the northwest. that's strengthening the winds, quite windy for the time of year on wednesday. to greet the day, we have some wet weather in scotland. as that moves through, more showers in scotland and northern ireland — with that stronger wind, we could blow a few showers further east across england and wales. still looking dry in the southeast of england, but temperatures even here will be lower on wednesday. 18—22 celsius is a little below the average for this time of year.

the area of low pressure to the north of scotland does finally move away by thursday, but it allows these weather fronts to come in from the atlantic. we will find the cloud thickening and increasing during the day on thursday, some rain and drizzle setting in. still uncertainty as to how far north the rain is going to get. now pushing a little further north into the central belt of scotland. northern scotland dry, and we may not get much rain towards the southeast of england, with temperatures into the low 20s. but we're not going to see a return of the heat. that's because the position of the jet stream is rushing right the way across the uk, so we are more likely to have some rain from time to time.
