Champion Whitlock 'proud' of career

Max Whitlock's time as a gymnastic may not have ended in the glory that was so widespread throughout his career, but the Englishman admits he is proud of what he achieved in the spot.

The 31-year-old finished fourth in his final ever event, the Pommel Horse in which he won gold in at both Rio and Tokyo.

On retiring, Whitlock has said he hopes to put his efforts into help developing gymnastics at grassroots level.

I would love for it to have ended better in Paris, but it is what it is. I don't want anyone to see how I am now and look it as a reflection of my career. I am so proud to be standing here today.

It was a challenge to get here. I could have quit after Tokyo, but I decided to come back. Giving it a good shot and the opportunity is the way forward rather than quitting out of a fear of failure.

Ireland's first ever gymnastic medal!

What a moment for Rhys McClenaghan!

The 25-year-old from Antrim takes the Gold in the Pommel Horse, adding to his two World Championship wins.

It was a nervous wait for McClenaghan, who had to watched on as Woong Hur took to the horse.

But a fall from the Korean took him out of contention, even though he recovered to record a remarkable score of 14.300 in the circ*mstances.

Cue joy in McClenaghan's camp, whose score of 15.533 is worthy of his excellent form coming into Paris 2024.

Nariman Kurbanov of Kazakhstan, who went first, collected the silver while USA superman Stephen Nedoroscik finished third for bronze.

In what was his final hurrah, British legend Max Whitlock finished fourth.

• Gold: Rhys McClenaghan (Ireland)
• Silver: Nariman Kurbanov (Kazakhstan)
• Bronze: Stephen Nedoroscik (USA)

Whitlock out of medal positions

Max Whitlock will not call time on his glittering gymnastics with one final medal.

The six-time Olympic medalist has just been pushed into fourth place in the Pommel Horse by American Stephen Nedoroscik.

Whitlock has already made history by becoming the first male gymnast to represent Team GB at four Olympic Games.

But there will be no fourth straight podium finish in this event for the 31-year-old.

Irishman Rhys McClenaghan leads the way with a sparkling score of 15.533.

Khelif guaranteed Olympic medal

Imane Khelif has guaranteed that she will leave Paris as an Olympic medalist after powering past Anna Luca Hamori.

The Algerian will now take on Janjaem Suwannapheng in the semi-final of the Women's 66kg division.

Khelif wins by unanimous decision

The fighters embrace at the final bell.

Imane Khelif wins again - and this bout at least went the distance.

It wasn't a completely straightforward end for the Algerian, who was docked a point in the final round for holding.

But such was her dominance that even that couldn't stop the judges from unanimously scoring it in her favour.

And at the end of a difficult few days for the 25-year-old, the emotion is clear to see as she breaks down in tears of joy with her coaches.

Khelif rises on to the ropes to celebrate with her supporters, and will go on to face Janjaem Suwannapheng in the semi-finals, guaranteeing herself an Olympic medal in the process.

Khelif heading for semis

Imane Khelif is growing in confidence with the Algerian's name being chanted by her fans inside the North Paris Arena.

And while Anna Luca Hamori had her moments, it was Khelif that cemented her advantage with some heavy hitting and one excellent straight left.

The judges once again scored it Khelif's favour with one even marking it as a 10-8.

3rd Aug 2024, 16:42By Sam Dymond

Khelif edges the opener

Imane Khelif came out for the first round on the front foot and scored some good early punches.

But Hamori came back into it as the opening three minutes progressed.

A strong right-hander from the Algerian in the final seconds was enough to see Khelif take the first 10-9 on all five judges' cards.

Joshua Jones is at the North Paris Arena

Here come the boxers.

Absolutely deafening cheers for Khelif - she has got the crowd behind her and makes the short ring walk shadow boxing in the direction of her partisan supporters before a Cristiano Ronaldo-esque 'siuu' celebration.

Then it is time for Hungary's Hamori who is jeered and booed.

She appears to be loving it though.

3rd Aug 2024, 16:37By Sam Dymond

Here come the fighters!

And a huge roar goes up for Imane Khelif!

The Algerian fans are out in force for their fighter, and give her a tremendous reception as she shadow boxes her way to the ring.

There's support for her Hungarian opponent, Anna Luca Hamori, too.

The referee calls them the middle and we're ready for round one...

Suwannapheng awaits in the semis

Suwannapheng gets the win on the points.

And she will face the winner of Khelif and Hamori in the semis.

That is up next...

Building to the main event

One round to go in the fight before - and then it's Khelif vs Hamori.

And the break between rounds gives fans the chance to get on their feet, get their Algeria flags back out and resume their chants.

This is going to be lively...

Flags out at North Paris Arena

Atmosphere is building in here.

A group over my right shoulder have got their Algerian flags out and are chanting Imane Khelif's name.

On the other side of the arena, a massive collection of fans also have their national flag - they are ready and waiting to support their star.

The 66kg quarter-finals begin

We've just had two women's 50kg bouts.

SunSport's Joshua Jones from Paris

Khelif's dramatic win on Thursday was the 46th of her amateur career.

It took her record to 37-9 but was undoubtedly the most talked about bout she has ever had.

While there has been plenty of voices weighing in to the debate, it is important to remember that Khelif was identified as a female at birth, has always lived as a female and the exact and full details of the International Boxing Association'sgender test in March 2023 remain undisclosed.

The IBA claim Khelif was found to have boosted testosterone levels and the male XY chromosomes - she appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport before withdrawing it.

Joshua Jones on Khelif's upcoming fight

SunSport are in position back at the North Paris Arena once more.

The main interestcomes in the 5.22pm local time (4.22pm BST) bout as Imane Khelif takes on Hungarian Anna Luca Hamori in the quarter-finals of the women's 66kg division.

Khelif beat Angela Carini on Thursday with the Italian quitting after just 46 seconds and two punches to the face.

The Algerian has found herself at the centre of a storm after failing a gender test at the Women's World Championships last year.

But for a maximum of nine minutes this afternoon, the talking will finally stop and she will let her hands to the talking again.

Views from SunSport’s Martin Lipton

Good news from 170 miles south of Paris at Chateauroux as Amber Rutter has made a perfect start to the women’s skeet.

Rutter was due to be the favourite for gold in Tokyo only to contract Covid days before she was supposed to fly to Japan and was ruled out of contention.

But she scored 50 out of 50 over the first two rounds, with one more series of 25 shots to go today.

It is so tight, though. The top six after 125 shots over two days reach the medal shoot-off but there are currently 12 athletes who have scored 48 or more.
