The first event of the morning is the women’s marathon swim.

It’s taking place in the Seine, there are six laps, currently they’re over half an hour in and on their second lap.

Great Britain’s Leah Crisp was in ninth place, but more importantly she has stayed a part of the leading group that have pulled away from the rest of the pack.
