    Chinese badminton player proposed to by fellow athlete after winning gold

    Day nine of the Olympics arrives with 20 gold medals up for grabs including one of the most coveted in the men’s 100m final at Paris 2024.

    It could come down to a straight fight between world champion Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson, the fastest man this year - while Great Britain’s Zharnel Hughes and Louie Hinchliffe will hope to reach the final at the Stade de France.

    There is cycling action in the women’s road race with Lizzie Deignan and Anna Henderson in action - while in gymnastics Jake Jarman goes for a second medal of the Olympics on the vault, after Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour stunned on the uneven bars for Africa’s first gymnastics gold.

    It’s a big day for tennis and golf as Novak Djokovic takes on Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles final at Roland Garros and Tommy Fleetwood goes into the final round at Le Golf National not far off at stacked leaderboard.

    And it’s the last night of the swimming, where Great Britain’s men’s relay team is looking to sign off Paris with one last medal. Adam Peaty could return to face home hero Leon Marchand in his leg of the men’s 4x100m medley.

    Follow all the action, latest results and medals from Paris 2024 in our live blog below.

    Olympics 2024: Men’s golf

    -18 Fleetwood, Rahm, Scheffler; -17 Matsuyama; -16 Perez; -15 Schauffele, McIlroy

    Rahm's chip is short and comes back to his feet on the edge of the green, a tidy chip with his second attempt gives him a chance at a bogey. Fleetwood should be in the lead outright soon.

    But it’s three birdies in a row for Scheffler, ties for the lead at -18!

    Olympics 2024: Women’s Road Cycling

    This breakaway group is showing no signs of faltering, as the six riders continue to maintain a comfortable distance from the peloton with a gap of 3.33 minutes.

    However, three riders from the Netherlands look set to launch a sprint at any given moment, as Ellen van Dijk and her two teammates remain at the front of the peloton.

    -18 Fleetwood, Rahm; -17 Scheffler, Matsuyama, McIlroy; -16 Perez; -15 Schauffele

    A formality for Scheffler, birdie, his seventh of the day, he's -17 and one behind the lead. This is a thriller at Le Golf National.

    Fleetwood’s second shot from the par five 14th, finishes short and in the bunker, work to do to get to -19 overall. Rahm, further up, but with a heavy lie, digs one out and he'll have a pitch to carve out a birdie try.

    And on 16 Scheffler pulls off another dart, birdie putt coming up to move into a tie for the lead. Team USA in contention for gold once more.

    McIlroy on 15, but he finds the water, could that be his hopes of gold gone? He drops and his pitch is way long, this is a tough one to even make bogey.

    Solo chaser Olga Zabelinskaya of Uzbekistan drops back into the bunch following a difficult climb, while Afghanistan’s Yulduz Hashimi gets her handlebars fixed by the mechanic, drifting away from the breakaway group with only a short distance to close.

    The leaders now hold a four minute advantage over the bunch, with all six riders maintaining an impressive tempo at this half-way stage.

    Olympics 2024: Men’s golf - Fleetwood and Rahm in epic battle for gold

    There's a tense battle for gold with Jon Rahm, once four shots clear, level with Tommy Fleetwood on -18. Hideki Matsuyama is one behind and took a brutal five on 14.

    Team USA's Scottie Scheffler is coming too, a seventh birdie of the day is coming up, he can tie Matsuyama and McIlroy on -17.

    And look out for Victor Perez, the home favourite, he’s eight-under and just two back on -16. A special finish to the final round.

    Remember, Tom Kim is bidding to medal here to avoid military service back in Korea. He’s only on -14 though, three outside of the medals.

    Olympics 2024: Women’s Road Cycling

    Slovakia’s Nora Jencusova has returned to the breakaway group, battling to keep her place in the lead. She joins riders from Afghanistan, Vietnam and Israel, with the second chaser, Olga Zabelinskaya of Uzbekistan, remaining just over 2km behind.

    Ellen van Dijk of the Netherlands, meanwhile, has kept her spot at the front of the bunch, perhaps looking to for a surge as we head into the last 80km.

    Olympics 2024: Women’s Road Cycling

    The breakaway group - currently consisting of six riders - now holds a near nine minute advantage over the bunch with just over 85km left of the race.

    The second chase group, sitting four minutes behind the leaders, will be spurred on by Slovakia’s Nora Jencusova’s departure from the breakaway, though, after she momentarily stopped to fix her gears.
