SunSport has hopped across Paris from the Parc des Princes to the Grand Palais, where GB could win TWO Taekwondo medals in the next half hour.
First up, Rebecca McGowan has given herself a shot at bronze after winning her elimination repechage earlier this evening.
She is up against Turkey’s Nafia Kus Aydin.
Then it’s the big one for Caden Cunningham, fighting for gold against Arian Salimi of Iran.
This is an incredible old venue, the arches echoing to the roars of the crowd. The fans are living every fight.
Teams getting ready to relay
We’re just under ten minutes way from the first 4 x 400m relay of the evening – and it’s the Men that will go off first.
The American team of Chris Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon and Rai Benjamin are big favourites for success.
Alex Haydock-Wilson, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Lewis Davey and Charles Dobson go for Great Britain.
Joshua Jones is on the ball
Just 45 minutes to go here in Paris until tip-off in the gold medal match of the Olympics men’s basketball.
But this is no ordinary gold medal match at the Bercy Arena.
This is hosts France against the all-star USA team.
The Americans have won the last four Olympic golds, beating France three years ago in Tokyo – but the French fans believe they can cause an almighty shock tonight.
The excitement around the Bercy Arena is palpable, building steadily throughout the afternoon and early evening.
Plenty of disappointed basketball fans held up homemade signs desperately pleading to buy any spare tickets.
But there aren’t many, if any, because this is arguably the biggest showpiece event of the entire Paris 2024 Games.
One thing is for sure, it’s a pleasure to be inside this impressive venue for tonight’s final.
And another thing, there will be one incredible party if France win tonight – which is not good news for any SunSport reporters hoping to sleep in their hotel right by the stadium…!
