Time to bid you adieu; I’ll leave you with our wrap from Team GB’s “Magic Monday”. Thanks for reading and commenting, and join us again tomorrow for much more Olympic action.

Andy Bull was at La Défense Arena to watch Matt Richards miss out on gold by 0.02 seconds, on another frustrating night for Team GB.

Here is Tumaini Carayol on a day of high drama in the men’s team gymnastics final, where Japan pipped China to gold:

The British Olympic Association [BOA] says it is investigating an alleged racist message sent by Team GB rugby sevens player Amy Wilson-Hardy.

And here’s Nick Ames on a historic moment for Ukraine as Olha Kharlan won their first medal of the Paris Games.

Here’s Ewan Murray on Adam Peaty’s Covid positive, and the implications for Team GB.

Elina Svitolina has advanced to the last 16 of the women’s tennis tournament, after beating Jessica Pegula 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. Svitolina, who won bronze for Ukraine at the Tokyo Games, faces Wimbledon champion Barbora Krecijkova next.

Team GB boxer Delicious Orie has seen his Olympic dream ended in the last 16, after losing by split decision to Armenia’s Davit Chaloyan.

“I do think I was a little bit hard done by, it was very close and I felt like I just did enough,” said Orie, the fourth Briton to lose their opening bout in Paris. “For the past eight years I’ve always dreamed about that gold medal and it’s been taken away from me.”

The live action in Paris is winding down; the only Olympic sport that goes on into the night is surfing, which is being held in Tahiti (where it’s 11.15am). If you’re in the UK and have got Eurosport/Discovery+, I highly recommend it for some relaxing late-night viewing.

In basketball, the USA women’s team have begun their search for an eighth straight gold medal in style:

Tuesday’s live action is supposed to start with the men’s triathlon at 8am local time, but that hangs in the balance. According to Eurosport, water samples will be tested overnight and the event will either go ahead, or be put back to Thursday or Friday. More from Sean Ingle:

Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez has revealed she competed at the Paris Olympics on Monday while seven months pregnant.

Hafez caused an upset in the opening round to reach the last 16 of the women’s sabre before losing to 10th seed Jeon Ha-young.

But her remarkable revelation came later on Instagram in a post titled “Seven months pregnant Olympian!’, when she announced she had been competing while carrying her “little Olympian”.

“The rollercoaster of pregnancy is tough on its own, but having to fight to keep the balance of life and sports was nothing short of strenuous, however worth it,” she added.

“I’m writing this post to say that pride fills my being for securing my place in the round of 16! I’m lucky to have shared the trust of my husband and that of my family to be able to come this far. PA Media

And here is Kieran Pender on what was an epic battle in the Olympic pool:

Here’s Mollie O’Callaghan on her gold medal, and victory over compatriot Ariarne Titmus: “It’s such an honour to be with everyone, and compete against Arnie. She is an absolute gun. She
races like an absolute beast. And it’s an honour to train alongside her and have such a great team around us.”

“I’m always striving for more and I always put a lot of pressure on myself. My expectations are very high. That was an amazing race. I’m always wanting that little bit more. To be honest, I did it for the country, I didn’t do it for myself. I’m racing for all these people. I just had to put it behind me. Less pressure now, I get to swim freely.”

France have moved up to second in the medal table; only Japan (six) have won more golds, while only the USA have more medals overall (20 to France’s 16); only three golds for the Americans so far, though.

The final gold medal in the pool today is the women’s 200m freestyle – likely to be a battle between Aussies Ariarne Titmus and Mollie O’Callaghan …

USA beat Team GB in women’s rugby sevens: It ends 17-7 to the Americans, who advance to face New Zealand in the semi-finals and end British hopes of a medal. It’s revenge for Tokyo, when GB knocked the US out in the quarter-finals.

“Am I the only one who thought that the persistent questioning of Noel Williams about the death of his coach after Tokyo was bordering on intrusive?” writes Simon McMahon. “And we’ve just had an interview with a clearly devastated Duncan Scott.

“I’m all for emotion in sport, but it’s hard enough for competitors who have spent years preparing for a Games to then be asked about extremely sensitive and personal issues in the immediate aftermath. I blame social media.”

Women’s rugby sevens: Team GB got the first score on the board through Ellie Boatman and led 7-5 at half time, but the US have hit back with tries from Kristi Kirshe and Sammy Sullivan to lead 17-7 …

Mona McSharry took bronze by 0.01 seconds from Italy’s Benedetta Pilato and the USA’s Lilly King. As for Angharad Evans, she finished sixth, but was only 0.4s behind silver.

McSharry says: “This isn’t something that little me, dreaming of just going to the Olympics, really thought was possible. Quite a number of people are here supporting me which is amazing. It’s great to have them here, I missed that in Tokyo.”

South Africa’s Smith wins 100m breaststroke gold

Next up: the women’s 100m breaststroke final, and a chance for Ireland gold with Mona McSharry in lane five. South Africa’s Tatjana Smith and USA’s Lilly King are some high-calibre opponents, though. Angharad Evans goes in lane seven for Team GB.

I thought for a moment that Ryan Murphy was going to take that from lane two, but Ceccon finally found top gear in the final 25m – and in the end, Xu pips the American to silver. Ollie Morgan finished eighth, but his time is surely yet to come.

Italy’s Ceccon wins 100m backstroke gold

Men’s 100m backstroke final: British 21-year-old Ollie Morgan is in Lane 1, and hoping to take inspiration from Matt Richards. He’s next to Rio 2016 champion Ryan Murphy; French hopeful Yohann Ndoye-Brouard is in lane three, while Italy’s Thomas Ceccon and China’s Xu Jiayu were the fastest qualifiers.
