An own goal from Irene Paredes after six minutes gave Brazil the perfect start before Gabi Portiho netted six minutes into first-half stoppage time to double the lead.

The Harvard graduate representing the US just ran away from the rest of the field in the final half of the race to win the gold medal in a time of 21.83 seconds.

21:24 CET - A 16-year-old Olympic record has gone in the women's steeplechase final and it goes to Bahrain's Winfred Yavi. She kicked away from Uganda's Peruth Chemutai, who she was in a last-lap battle with, to win the title in a time of 8:52.76.

Records broken everywhere.
21:06 CET - Back to the wrestling, and we have some more history tonight. In the men's 130kg competition, Cuban Mijain Lopez becomes the first athlete in history to win the same event at five Olympics. He beats Chile's Yasmani Acosta on points with a score of 6-0 to continue his remarkable run that started back in Beijing in 2008.
The two bronze medals went to China's Meng Lingzhe and Amim Mirzazadeh of Iran.
Meanwhile, in the Stade de France, where the women's hammer throw competition has been won by Canada's Camryn Rogers. She has lost just one competition all season long and came into the event as favourite.

20:54 CET - Cole Hocker SHOCKS the world!

20:31 CET - The French men's basketball team announced their arrival in Paris with a rip-roaring 82-73 win over Canada on Tuesday that propelled the hosts into the Olympic semi-finals riding a wave of national emotion.
Feeding off the energy crackling through a seething Bercy, France gave the home crowd what they came to see, storming to a 19-5 lead in the opening minutes they would never relinquish, each basket triggering a thundering roar that rocked the arena to its foundation.
After repelling a Canadian fight back with 90 seconds on the clock the rafters rattled again as the packed arena broke out in a rousing flag-waving rendition of La Marseillaise.
After a less-than-inspiring performance in the group stage that saw the Olympic hosts lose to Germany and need overtime to see off Japan, the French delivered their best effort when it mattered moving on to the semi-finals and a rematch with the Germans.
Leading the way for Les Bleus was Guerschon Yabusele with 22 points while Isaia Cordinier added 20 in what was a total team effort with four players getting into double figures.
Meanwhile, in Lyon, the USA women's football are into the final of the Olympic Games after needing extra time to beat Germany 1-0. The four-time champions had Sophia Smith to thank with the forward netting five minutes into the additional 30.

19:42 CET - Still plenty of medals ahead of us tonight, but before that, the Netherlands set a new world record in the men's team sprint as they set up a gold-medal showdown against Britain later on Tuesday at the National Velodrome.

17:15 CET - The men's and women's dinghy Olympic medal races were postponed to Wednesday, with officials eventually deciding there was not enough wind for them to proceed, after sailors in both events had waited for hours for the breeze to stabilise.
Gold and silver in the women's event had been effectively wrapped up by Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands and Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark on Monday, with only the bronze medal still to be decided.
In the men's dinghy, Australian Matt Wearn and Cypriot Pavlos Kontides are set for a potential head-to-head tactical 'match race' for Olympic gold.
Wearn, 28, leads with the lowest points score in the series going into the double-points medal race, with Kontides, 34, the only sailor in the 10-boat fleet who can theoretically beat him to gold. Sailing operates on a low-point scoring system.
16:51 CET - Back to the men's basketball quarter-finals and Serbia have won an overtime thriller against Australia to advance into the final four - guaranteeing a medal shot.
The Serbians battled back from 24 points down before going ahead late on in the last quarter. But the game's top scorer Patty Mills gave Australia a lifeline with 1.4 seconds to play, scoring two points and taking the last-eight clash to overtime.
But Serbia roared back through great defensive work from Nikola Jokic, who then scored the two points to secure their passage into the semi-finals.
16:09 CET - It's deja vu from the 2020 Olympic Games as, after the women's diving final, Quan Hongchan takes the gold medal for the second successive Games after she scored 425.60 from her five dives.

15:32 CET - American Rana Reider, coach of former Olympic champions Andre De Grasse of Canada and Italy's Lamont Marcell Jacobs, has been stripped of his Paris Games accreditation by Canada's Olympic Committee (COC) amid allegations of sexual and emotional abuse.
The COC said on Tuesday "new information" had come to light about the appropriateness of accrediting Reider, who had been investigated for sexual misconduct by the U.S. Center for Safe Sport. He was put on a one-year probation which ended in May.
His lawyer said in May last year that Reider had acknowledged a "consensual romantic relationship with an adult athlete, which presented a power imbalance" but was not found to violate any other sexual misconduct claims for which he was under investigation.
He denied wrongdoing when the allegations came to light.
15:25 CET - Colombian Daniel Restrepo attempted the hardest dive yet at the Olympic Games on Tuesday in the men's three-metre springboard preliminary round.
In his fifth dive, Restrepo launched himself to forward four and a half somersaults in a pike position - a routine that has a difficulty level of 4.2.
Restrepo, 24, told Reuters after the event he was the first person to have attempted such a difficult dive on the springboard in a competition.
"The dive is really really, really hard. If you want do the dive, you need strong preparation and dedication and discipline," he said.
"But I think the hurdle is in the mind, and if you believe in yourself you can do it," he added.
15:09 CET - With many quarter-finals and preliminaries underway, we are waiting for the next medal, that could come on the diving boards or in the sailing boats.
Before then though, New Zealand's five-time Olympic champion Lisa Carrington got off to another winning start as the canoe sprint events got underway at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium on Tuesday, coming first in both the two- and four-person kayak heats.
Known back home as "the GOAT (greatest of all time) in the boat", Carrington first led her four-woman crew to victory in the first 500-metre kayak heat before winning the kayak double heat a couple of hours later.
Taking place at the same venue east of Paris as the rowing regatta which ended on Saturday, Serbia got proceedings underway quickly, setting an Olympic record of 1:20.99 in the four-man kayak to beat Spain's previous best mark of 1:21.65 from the Tokyo Games.
12:41 CET - The first of the men's basketball quarter-finals has come to a close with Germany outdoing Greece 76-63, guaranteeing them a shot at a medal at this Olympic Games.
The current world champions had a slow start seeing themselves 10 points down after the first quarter, but they pulled it level at the end of the second before easing clear late on.
12:36 CET - Bahamian Shaunae Miller-Uibo's 400-metre Olympic title defence ended on Tuesday as she finished last in the repechage after struggling through the heat with an apparent injury.
The 30-year-old Miller-Uibo was on the hunt for a third straight gold but pulled up midway through her preliminary race on Monday and walked the remainder of the way.
The newly introduced repechage - which allows competitors who do not clinch spots in the semi-finals to race again with a chance of moving on - offered her a path forward on Tuesday but Miller-Uibo could not find any of her usual power.
She crossed the finish in 53.50, nearly three seconds slower than winner Gabby Scott of Puerto Rico, weeks after media had reported that she would not run the individual race in Paris.
12:02 CET - Christian Kukuk of Germany has won gold in the final equestrian event of the Games, the individual jumping, beating Steve Guerdat of Switzerland and Dutchman Maikel van der Vleuten, who got silver and bronze.

There are also boxing and diving medals to be battled for, before the headline act of the day will see a 'grudge match' on the track between Norway's Jakob Ingerbrigtsen and Britain's Josh Kerr.
Before we get into today's action, we had plenty of surfing drama from Tahiti overnight...
Tahitian Kauli Vaast surfed a near-perfect final to claim the gold medal for France in the men's event at Teahupo'o, leaving Australian tube-riding maestro Jack Robinson with silver.
In the women's final meanwhile, Caroline Marks of the United States added Olympic gold to her 2023 world title with a tight victory over Brazil's Tatiana Weston-Webb.
Brazil's Gabriel Medina won the bronze medal in the men's event with France's Johanne Defay finishing third in the women's.
