Well, that's all for today. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and come back for tomorrow for some more Olympic madness! England-born Charlie Senior paid tribute to his late grandfather Dennis after winning Olympic boxing bronze for Australia. Senior emigrated to Australia with his family at the age of two and picked up his adopted country's first medal in the 57kg category at Roland Garros in Paris.
Born in Bradford, the year-old - who was outpointed by IBA world featherweight champion Abdumalik Khalokov at Roland Garros - has never forgotten his Yorkshire roots and wears a gumshield etched with the name of his grandfather. Dennis died last year after losing his battle with cancer, and Senior was unable to make the trip over to England for the funeral due to the Olympic qualifiers.
I'm proud of my English roots and my family back at home, cousins, friends and everyone will definitely have been on their toes. I'm sure they all tuned in and were watching. Despite the defeat, Ngamba has made history as a member of the Refugee Olympic Team, earning a well-deserved bronze medalβthe first ever won by a refugee athlete.

Lyles, the Olympic metres champion said he quickly quarantined in a hotel, but insisted on competing in the final won by Botswana's Letsile Tebogo. He said: 'I do have Covid.
I tested positive around 5am on Tuesday morning. Woke up in the middle of the night feeling chills, aching, sore throat and those were a lot of the symptoms I've always had right before getting Covid. I knew if I wanted to come out here and win I would have to give everything I've had from the get go.
