from athletics down to wrestling, there are 15 gold medals up for grabs at paris 2024 on tuesday. in fact the first of them has already been won by germany's christian kukuk in the individual showjumping. monday's action peaked in the stade de france with britain's keely hodgkinson finishing off the day with her first global title in the 800 metres, having finished second in tokyo and at the last two world championships. she pulled away in the home straight to become the first british winner of this event since kelly holmes in 200a. i think for me with the calibre we have in the women's 800, nothing is inaudible until you have crossed the line. i wanted to get at heart. 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,
11:46 am
but that is 800 m 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. next to a moment that might prove to be one of the more memorable from these games. mondo duplantis retained his pole vault title, but says the �*party is going to be pretty big' after he then broke the world record with his finaljump. the swede cruised to victory at the stade de france, needing to clearjust 6 metres to become the first man to retain the olympic title since the american bob richards. but the sell—out crowd then watched duplantis go over at 6 metres 25 to break the world record for a ninth time. i guess i have been fortunate should 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 board, it isjust like... it doesn't feel real in a way, so that was more kind of hysteria and freaking out. around 15,000 kilometres

away from paris, the surfing medals have been handed out in tahiti. the usa's caroline marks won gold in the women's event, adding to her bronze from tokyo three years ago while in the men's event, it was france's kowli vaast who came out on top. this 9.5 score from his opening ride setting him on course for victory against australia's jack robinson. it was a special gold medal for vaast, who was born and raised in tahiti and learned to surf on the legendary teahupo�*o wave. after the netherlands won a dramatic gold in the men's 3 on 3 basketball, the traditional version of the sport reaches its business end. the action moves from lille to paris for the knockout rounds and the first of those quarter—finals is underway giannis antetokounmpo�*s greece taking on world champions but lost to them. not to mention of course, the us a hot favourites to

julian alvarez. the argentinian forward will cost an initial 82 million with another 22 possible in add—ons, an amount that represents a record sale for city. personal terms still have to be agreed before alvarez moves to the metropolitano. the la liga side are also closing in on the signing of chelsea's conor gallagher. the midfielderjoined chelsea when he was eight and captained the side for a majority of last season. but atletico have agreed a fee of around 36 million dollars for the england international. gallagher's departure would represent another academy player leaving chelsea, a seventh just in this close season. the sale of youth products counts as pure profit on a club's balance sheet and manager enzo maresca sez premier league teams are �*compelled' to let players who have come through the system to help fund spending, and rules need to change. moises caicedo

remains among the most expensive of chelsea's signings, his more than 100 million dollar price tag caused him to lose confidence during what he's descirbed as a �*tough' first season when chelsea finished sixth in the table. i feel a lot of pressure because you know, the club, the history it was really difficult for me to be there. after the last four or five months, i felt more comfortable in the club because a lot of people around me helped me. because a lot of people around me helped me-— because a lot of people around me helped me— because a lot of people around me heled me. ,, . ., ~ ., helped me. strange to think that the premier league _ helped me. strange to think that the premier league season _ helped me. strange to think that the premier league season is _ helped me. strange to think that the premier league season is now - helped me. strange to think that the premier league season is now two . premier league season is now two weeks away from starting. if you want more articles, visit the bbc sport website and if you are in the uk, you can of course follow on bbc television. that is it all for now. bye—bye. thanks very much, hugh. as
