our sports editor dan roan is in paris. their defence of these fighters today. that's right, yes. it's no surprise because they are fully aware that what some now see as something of a crisis for the organisers of this olympics is about to intensify. in just over an hourfrom now, the second of the fighters that were disqualified by the iba from last year's world championship for failing what that governing body described as a sex test but who are allowed to fight here in the ioc will take to the ring behind me. as you heard, lin yu—ting of taiwan will take part in the 57 kilograms category, featherweight contest at 2:30pm yourtime, and this controversy will develop further. it already has interest today because the ioc has been trying to explain it position and it is not backing down, fully supportive of these two fighters, saying that the discussion to disqualify them was arbitrary and sudden. it will raise eyebrows but the ioc said it does not conduct gender or testosterone tests, it is now running the boxing organisation

they left with only 14 gold medals — that's the lowest since athlens in 2004. 0ur sports editor dan roaned with hitting their medal target. we feel is a range of medallist, a lot more connections to people at home. there's more support to look at and enjoyed we had british potential. 0ur responsibly is a public body to make those athletes come there and put them on the biggest stage on earth in sports. that's fantastic success. as you say, we are a little bit further down the medal table then maybe we've been used to. it is a strategic ambition to be top—5 but it is not a target in the same way. because that bit is out of our hands to some extent, that depends on the success of other countries around us, so between third and eighth we know it is very congested. it's increasingly congested. with the rise of the announcement as has been done now it's a much longer lead in the normal so we've seen australia already start rising, france's nomination you would expect to be up there too. the dutch have led the best medal hall, the best number gold medals they've ever had. i think what happens
