With that we come to the end of today's coverage. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for Indian sport with big names in action. Do join use for the live coverage.

Alfred's gold gave St. Lucia their first ever medal of any colour at an Olympics. The island nation only began competing at the Games in 1996.

Alfred -- who had never finished on the podium at a major outdoor championships prior to Saturday's final -- conjured a superb race to win in 10.72sec as the USA's Richardson took silver 

Richardson, the reigning world champion over 100m, had been hotly tipped to become the first American to win the coveted Olympic crown since Gail Devers in 1996.

But the 24-year-old Texan found herself outgunned by the powerfully built Alfred, who led from start to finish after exploding out of the blocks at a rainswept Stade de France.

USA Great Sha'Carri Richardson finishes second with a timing of 10.87 seconds. But the star of the show is St Lucia's Julien Alfred who takes the gold with a timing of 10.72 seconds. The bronze goes to USA's Melissa Jefferson (10.92 seconds) 

Meanwhile, the women's 100m final is about to start! Sha'Carri Richardson advanced to the Olympic women's 100m final on Saturday but was forced to settle for second place in her semi-final behind rising Saint Lucia sprint star Julien Alfred.

There was a major surprise before the semi-final after Jamaica's two-time Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce scratched from the competition.

The 37-year-old five-time world 100m champion had been chasing a record fifth consecutive medal in the Olympic 100m, 16 years after winning gold in Beijing.

The 23-year-old world championship bronze medallist Indian lost by a 1-4 split verdict to his second seed Mexican opponent in the quarterfinal at the North Paris Arena. Nishant is the fifth Indian boxer to exit the Olympic Games.

That's a heart-break for India and Nishant! Despite winning the first round, Nishant could not keep up the momentum as the Mexican boxer revived himself. The third round also belonged to the Mexican Alvarez.

The 2nd round goes to the Mexican boxer. Three out of 5 judges rule in favour of Nishant.

The second round has started. Mexican has improved his game a lot but has also received two warning. Nishant, however, is as attacking as ever and is using his combinations well. 

Four judges rule in Nishant's favour. This is a great start. India would already be dreaming of a fourth medal already.

Nishant has started on a strong not against his Mexican opponent. He has landed quite a few punches. And is very confident at the end of the round. 

Nishant Dev is here in the red corner against Marco Alonso Verde Alvarez (Mexico) in Men's 71kg boxing quarter-final. India would be hoping for a win

A big news from athletics - Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was a non-starter in the women's Olympic 100m semi-final in Paris on Saturday.

Fraser-Pryce, who is 37 and competing in her fifth Olympic Games, won 100m golds in 2008 and 2012 -- part of an Olympic haul that includes three golds, four silvers and a bronze.

Sha'Carri Richardson advanced to the Olympic women's 100m final on Saturday but was forced to settle for second place in her semi-final behind rising Saint Lucia sprint star Julien Alfred.

Richardson, the American reigning world 100m champion who is regarded as favourite for the gold medal, clocked 10.89sec to reach the final later Saturday at the Stade de France.

If Nishant can win the bout, he will join an elite club. Before this, Vijender Singh, MC Mary Kom, Lovlina Borgohain have won medals in boxing at the Olympics.  

Nishant Dev vs Marco Alonso Verde Alvarez (Mexico) Men's 71kg boxing quarter-final is supposed to start at 12:18 AM.  The Indian's opponent is a gold medal winner at the 2023 Pan American Games in Boxing in the 71 kg category.

Reigning champion Xander Schauffele dug deep on the back nine on Saturday to head into the final round of the Olympic men's golf competition tied for the lead with Spanish star Jon Rahm.

American Schauffele, the world's form player after winning his maiden major titles at the PGA Championship and the British Open this year, carded a three-under-par 68 in his third round at Le Golf National.

Zheng Qinwen became the first Chinese player to win Olympic tennis singles gold when she defeated Croatia's Donna Vekic on Saturday, hailing her victory as a "proud" moment for herself and her country.

The 21-year-old came through 6-2, 6-3, winning only China's second ever tennis gold after Li Ting and Sun Tiantian's women's doubles triumph at Athens in 2004.

Simone Biles soared to women's vault gold on Saturday, capturing her third gold of the Paris Games to take her career tally to seven. With two stunning vaults, including a spectacular version of her signature Yurchenko double pike, Biles improved to three-for-three in Paris after claiming the individual all-around title and team gold with the USA.

Biles was simply untouchable, leaving reigning Olympic and world champion Rebeca Andrade of Brazil delighted with silver as American Jade Carey took bronze.

The action is not yet over for India. A very crucial match is coming up: The Men's 71 kg quarter-final will feature Nishant Dev. A win here will assure India its fourth medal at the Olympics. 

Imane Khelif has done it. Despite all the negativity surrounding her, Imane Khelif has maintained her composure to put forward a strong performance and assured herself and her country a medal at the Paris Olympics 2024.

The second round has also gone to the Algerian boxer. She has been the dominant one clearly. All five judges have ruled in her favour yet again.

Imane Khelif has taken the first round. All five judges have ruled in her favour. The Hungarian boxer is giving a tough fight and has landed a couple of blows too. But Imane's reach is awesome. 

Imane Khelif (Algeria) vs Anna Luca Hamori (Hungary) women's 66kg quarter-final starts! Khelif is at the red corner

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which oversees the boxing events in Paris but was not responsible for the World Championships, said welterweight Khelif was disqualified in India because of elevated testosterone levels.

Khelif, one of only two athletes, with elevated testosterone levels cleared to compete in women's boxing at the Paris 2024 Olympics, had been disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships in India for failing to meet eligibility requirements.

Italian boxer Angela Carini abandoned after just 46 seconds her bout with Algerian Imane Khelif in the women's 66kg round of 16 match in the Paris Olympics on Thursday. That video went viral and since then Khelif has been in the eye of gender row. 

Carlos Yulo won Olympic gold on Saturday in Paris in the men's floor exercise of the gymnastics for only the second gold in the history of the Philippines.

The 24-year-old broke down in tears after matching the achievement of weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, who won gold at the Covid-delayed 2020 Tokyo Games.

One clash that all will have eyes on will be the women's 66kg quarter-final which features Algeria's Imane Khelif and Hungary's Hamori Anna Luca. 

Rohan Bopanna's doubles partner on the ATP circuit, Matthew Ebden, wins the Olympics Men's Doubles Tennis gold, along with John Peers. The Australian pair beat Rajeev Ram & Austin Krajicek 6-7, 7-6, 10-8 in Final 

Japan's Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida clinch the badminton women's doubles bronze with a convincing win over Malaysia's Pearly Tan and Muralitharan Thinah, finishing 21-11, 21-11 in just 41 minutes. 

Meanwhile, in Women's Skeet, Maheshwari Chauhan ends the day with a score of 71/75. She needs a good day tomorrow to qualify for the finals (Top 6 qualify). Raiza Dhillon is out of contention after scoring of 66/75. Big day for in Women's Skeet tomorrow

Disappointing 24th place (out of 30) finish for Anant jeet Singh Naruka in Skeet Qualification. He scored 116 points while the last athlete to qualify for Final scored 122 points! 

France's Lisa Barbelin takes the bronze in women's archery, denies South Korea a 1-2-3. Lim Sihyeon wins the gold medal, while Nam Suhyeon takes home the silver. 

All Korean final in women's individual archery! Lim will take on Nam. South Korea with the opportunity to win all three medals in the event. France's Lisa Barbelin will look to spoil the party in the bronze medal match.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has found herself at the centre of a gender eligibility row, will be action later in the day at around 8:45 PM IST. She will face Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori.

Deepika Kumari bows out in the quarterfinals of the Women's Individial Archery at Paris Olympics, losing to South Korea's Nam Suhyeon. Deepika was leading Nam 4-2 after the end of the 3rd set, but some poor shooting saw her miss out on a semi-finals berth.

Deepika Kumari throws away the fourth set, just like he did in the second. Nam fightsback and is now favourite heading into the final set.

Deepika Kumari restores her lead! A couple of 10s in that third set allows her to take a 4-2 lead.

Deepika with a horror 6 which allows Nam to level the match. The Indian released her arrow with just over a second left on the clock. Too much overthinking from Deepika. Will this prove to be costly?

Deepika takes the first set against South Korea's Nam Suhyeon. Dream start from Deepika as she takes two crucial set points. A couple of 8s from Nam in that first set.

Choirunisa Diananda with a bizarre 5! Lisa Barbelin for France gets the job done in the shoot-off. The Indonesian only needed an 8 to advance. However, she placed that wide on 5. 

Lim Sihyeon with a stunning comeback! Alejandra Valencia throws it away after a 4-2 lead. We are all set for an all-Korean semi-final.  Jeon vs Leon for a place in the final of women's individual archery.

Hunyoung Jeon of South Korea advances to the semi-finals. Now, her compatriot, Sihyeon Lim will take on Mexico's Alejandra Valencia. If Lim wins this match, she will take on Jeon in an all-Korean semi-final.

Archery quarterfinals are underway! There are three South Koreans in the last. One of them is taking on Turkey's Elif Berra

Shooting Update: After 2 rounds of Women Skeet (Qualification):
Maheshwari Chauhan: 14th/29 spot (47 points)

Heartbreak for Bhajan Kaur! The 18-year-old crashes out in the pre-quarterfinals after losing the shoot-off against Diananda Choirunisa of Indonesia. All hopes now on Deepika, who will be in quarterfinals action at 5:05 PM later today.

Bhajan keeps her composure to share the spoils with Choirunisa. We are going to the final set with the Indonesian leading 5-3

Choirunisa takes the third set and a 4-2 lead against India's Bhajan Kaur. The Indonesian using all of her experience to stay calm, while the Indian youngster has looker nervous, taking plenty of time to release her arrows.

Bhajan Kaur fights back to level the match. Huge error from Choirunisa as she scores a 7 with one of her arrows. We are tied at 2-2

Indonesia's Diananda Choirunisa takes the first set against Bhajan Kaur, who shot 8 with her first arrow before striking back-to-back 10s. That will give her some confidence going forward into this match.

Deepika is into the quarterfinals as she beats Germany's Michelle Kroppen 6-4. She could face compatriot Bhajan Kaur, who is action next against Indonesia's Diananda Choirunisa.

Michelle Kroppen takes the 4th set and reduces the deficit to 3-5. Deepika with a narrow lead ahead of the final set. If Kroppen wins the final set, we will have a shootout to decide the tie.

Deepika and Michelle share the spoils in the second set after both archers shooting 27. However, Deepilka leads 3-1 in this tie after taking the first set earlier

Deepika wins the first set against German's Michelle Kroppen. A solid start from the India archer, who struck three 9s after Kroppen's 6 in the opening shot.

India's Deepika Kumari will take on Kroppen Michelle of Germany in the Women's Individual 1/8 (Round of 16) Elimination Round Match. 

Manu Bhaker said she was nervous in the final, tried her best but things couldn't fall in place for her this time. The 22-year-old said that she has not been using social media to keep herself away from all the distraction. Manu insisted that this routine had helped her win two medals in the previous events, but today was an unlucky day for her.

South Korea's Jiin Yang takes the gold medal after winning the shoot-off against France's Camille Jedrezejewski, who took home for the silver. Hungary's Veronika Major signed off with a bronze after scoring just 2/5 in her final round.

Heartbreak for Manu as she loses the 3rd/4th place elimination shoot-off. She misses out on a medal, which would've been her third of this Paris Olympics. A brilliant display from the 22-year-old nonetheless as she will return home with two medals at Paris Olympics

A solid 4/5 from Manu as she moves back into the silver medal spot. She is trailing topper Jin Yang by a solitary point. One round will decide her final. Needs to escape elimination. 

A perfect round from Manu as she not only escapes elimination, but also moves into the bronze medal spot. We are off to the next round.

Another 4/5 from Manu Bhaker as she jumps to the second spot. She is currently occupying the silver medal spot. Another solid round from Manu as she looks to pull herself from the elimination zone.

Manu fightsback! She hits four of her five targets this time. She has now jumped to the fourth spot.

Manu Bhaker's 25m Pistol final starts! However, a bizarre start from the 22-year-old as he manages just two shots from a possible five. She is currently 6th in the list

We are minutes away from the start of Manu Bhaker's women's 25m pistol final. The 22-year-old has already won two bronze medals at the ongoing Olympics. She finished second in the qualification yesterday. She will aim to win a third today, and maybe a change in colour this time.

Raiza Dhillon and Maheshwari Chauhan are now in action Skeet Women's Qualification. Anant Jeet Singh Naruka is also competing in the men's event, with Day 2 of his event also currently underway. All the best to the three Indian shooters.

Mathias Boe, coach of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, has resigned from his post after the pair's shock exit from the Olympics. Boe shared a heartfelt post on social media to announce his decision. As badminton fans, we will be forever grateful to Boe for taking Satwik-Chirag's game to new heights.

In case you missed it, Lakshya Sen became the first Indian men to reach the semi-finals in badminton at Olympics. He defeated Chinese Taipei's Chou in an epic three-set battle. Lakshya will now face defending champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in the semi-final.
