Canada's women's football team have been deducted 6 points after using a drone to spy on the training session of their first opponents New Zealand. Coach Bev Priestman had already been sent home but has now been banned for a year.

Gutted for Josh Tarling but great to achieve two unexpected medals on the first day.
Cautious optimism for the eventing team.
No sympathy for Charlotte Dujardin but the timing STINKS - dirty play at work obviously.

DAILY COVERAGE Studio experts: Fred Sirieix He appears to be doing daily video reports on the highlights show. I seem to remember Nihal Arthanayake in a similar role in Tokyo.

I've just swapped a couple of texts with a good friend in Paris. And just discovered that his son project managed the creation of, and lighting of, the Olympic flame balloon !
Needless to say, he's a very proud father. He has tickets for judo (big in France), swimming and fencing.

Two more medals for GB today with Kimberley Woods winning bronze in the kayak slalom and Adam Peaty taking silver after missing out on gold by 0.02s.
Amazing comeback by Andy Murray and Dan Evans in the tennis, saving 5 match points in the tie break and going on to win.

How Murray/Evans won both the 2nd set and the match tie break still baffles me, as they were completely outplayed by the experienced Japan pairing.
From Murray's point of view though, another Olympic highlight to cherish.
