Olympics LIVE: Alex Yee leads Team GB in triathlon mixed relay before Simone Biles bids for gymnastics history

The headline star athlete of Monday and perhaps the entire Olympics is Noah Lyles. The Team USA sprinter is back from the thrilling 100m final in a bid to double up and take gold in the men’s 200m first round. Zharnel Hughes, Letsile Tebogo, Andre De Grasse and Erriyon Knighton are among the biggest threats to Lyles.

Keely Hodgkinson goes again in the women’s 800m final, with the Team GB star likely to face a challenge from Kenya’s Mary Moraa.

The triathlon is back with the mixed relay as Alex Yee, Sam Dickinson, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Beth Potter bid to retain gold after their success in Tokyo.

And look out for Sifan Hassan on the track, the Dutch runner goes in the women’s 5000m final as she bids to tackle a historic treble in Paris. She qualified second-fasted behind Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon, who is the favourite, though Italy’s Nadia Battocletti and Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay pose threats too.

But the heart-thumping shoot-off was marred in controversy as Rutter, 26, was adjudged to have missed one of her final targets despite television replays suggesting she hit it.

That opened the door for red-hot Chilean Crovetto to prevail in a spicy battle and despite Rutter’s protests, the experienced 34-year-old edged over the line.

Adam Peaty called on anti-doping authorities to “wake up and do your job” after China stormed to gold in the men’s 4x100m medley relay – and suggested his rival Qin Haiyang should be “out of the sport”.

Peaty was unable to sign off his third and potentially last Olympics with a second medal to add to his silver in the 100m breaststroke, as the Team GB quartet of Peaty, Duncan Scott, Matthew Richards and Oliver Morgan finished fourth.

This time, however, there was a consolation prize of sorts. Fleetwood is never happy to settle for second best but leaving Paris with a silver medal having gone toe-to-toe with a who’s who of modern greats over a captivating final day gave him plenty to be proud of.

The world champion has been embroiled in a tense rivalry over the last two years, beating the Olympic champion in Budapest last year to claim gold.

It was the second successive World Championships that Ingebrigtsen was beaten by a Briton after Jake Wightman won gold in Eugene a year earlier.

In a strange scenario, the pair raced in the same semi-final on Sunday night in Paris, with Ingebrigtsen winning in 3min 32.38secs, although Kerr was just eight-hundredths of a second behind.

And the Scot bristled as he raced through his media duties, sending a warning to expect a bruising contest on Tuesday night.

World champion, Olympic champion. Noah Lyles talked an awful lot of talk in the build-up to Paris 2024, but tonight he backed up the bluster with blistering speed on the Stade de France track, surging past the field to pip them all on the line. There can be no argument now. “What’s the title of Olympic champion?” Lyles said, referring to the ‘fastest man on the planet’ tag that goes with gold. “Amen.”
