00:00Bonjour from Paris 2024. I'm at Ellencourt Hill at the site of an old disused quarry,

00:14which is the venue for the mountain biking cross country that Yorkshire's Tom Pidcock

00:18goes for gold in on Monday afternoon on day three of the Games. He's already complained

00:23about the state of the track as he looks to defend his Olympic title that he won so thrillingly

00:28in Tokyo three years ago. Today's action comes hot on the heels of an epic night at

00:33the La Defence arena in the swimming on Sunday evening, where Max Litchfield of Pontefract

00:38finished an agonising fourth in a third Olympic final on the trot. This won by just 19 one

00:44hundredths of a second. And then an hour and a half later, Adam Peaty, the golden boy of

00:49British swimming, finished second as he was looking to win the Olympic breaststroke 100

00:53metre title for a third straight Games in a row. That was a thrilling night, some emotional

00:59interviews afterwards. Let's see what Ellencourt Hill has for us this afternoon.
