00:00Morning from day 10 in Paris, where the early GB hope is in the mixed triathlon relay.
00:06Alex Yee, who was the gold medalist in the individual men's, goes in the team,
00:10as does Beth Potter, who was the bronze medalist in the women's.
00:13But France really are the overwhelming favourites.
00:15Such strength and depth and other real medal threat to GB comes from, I think, Germany.
00:20Kayak Cross reaches the semi-finals and final stages.
00:24Absolutely captivating event, if you've not seen it before.
00:27It's just utter mayhem. It's sort of canoeing down the slalom course,
00:31but with argy-bargy the whole way down.
00:34Jo Clark and Kimberley Woods are both world champions,
00:37so good hopes from a GB perspective there as well.
00:41And then the track cycling gets under way, and the attention really is on the women's team sprint.
00:45There's a British rider called Emma Finnegan, who's just 21 years old.
00:48People don't really know her very well, but could be a superstar of these games.
00:53And then we move to the track this evening, where Keeley Hodgkinson is the main attraction
00:57for people watching back in Britain.
00:59She's the overwhelming favourite in the 800 metres,
01:02but the sole GB representative after Gemma Rieke and Phoebe Gill unfortunately failed to make the final.
