Fine start for Team GB's sailors
By Tom Cary, Senior Sports Correspondent in Tokyo
While all eyes have been on the pool/rowing lake/taekwondo centre, Britain’s sailors have quietly been putting together a stonking start to their respective Olympic regattas.
GB sailors were placed top five in eight of the 10 Olympic classes overnight on Wednesday - and now they are guaranteed their first medal of these Games in the RS:X (windsurfing) class.
Emma Wilson - the squad’s youngest sailor at just 22 and the daughter of former Olympic windsurfer Penny Way - has had a dream week, winning four of her 12 races, and is lying second overall heading into Saturday’s points race.

Even allowing for the fact that race counts double, Wilson is so far clear of fourth place that bronze would be the worst she could do.
Wilson, who is from Christchurch in Dorset, will battle it out with Chinese sailor Yunxiu Lu, who is four points ahead of her, and France’s Charline Picon, who is two points behind, in Enoshima on Saturday.
Wilson’s mother Penny Way was world windsurfing champion in 1986, 1990 and 1991. She represented Team GB at the 1992 and 1996 Olympics.

Report: Matt Coward-Holley takes Team GB's first medal of day six
By Pippa Field
Britain has its first medal of day six courtesy of Matt Coward-Holley in the men's trap final.
It was a fine return for the 26-year-old, who was competing at his first Olympics , but you could see the disappointment etched across his face when he already knew his fate going in his final shot.
Coward-Holley, the world and European champion, had qualified as the second best shooter, hitting all 75 targets in the morning's second qualification stage (on top of the 48/50 managed yesterday)
However three misses from the first 10 targets in the final - the scores are added together through the elimination stages of the final - would ultimately come back to bite him when it came to the crunch, as he missed out on the gold medal shoot off to the Czech pair of Jiri Liptak and David Kostelecky.
Those two would eventually go to a sudden death shootout with Liptak eventually the one to triumph when his compatriot missed.
Coward-Holley's bronze matches the same colour won by Edward Ling in the men's trap final in Rio five years ago. But the wait for a first British Olympic champion since Bob Braithwaite in 1968 goes on.
07:32 AM
Women's C1: Jess Fox takes gold!
A superb rub from the Australian. She denies Mallory Franklin gold at the very death with an absolutely fantastic run under the highest pressure. Did it comfortably in the end.

Silver for Mallory Franklin.
07:30 AM
Women's C1: Jess Fox looking in excellent shape here
She's 4.5sec up at the second split...
A superb run, but she needs to finish it. It's looking like silver for Mallory Franklin...
07:30 AM
Women's C1: Jess Fox starts her run for gold
If she beats Franklin's time she will take gold...
Quick and tidy so far after the first few gates. Fox, of Australia, is 2.45sec up after the first split...
07:28 AM
Women's C1: Fiserova only fifth
Franklin gets at least a silver then. Only one competitor left to run.
Can Jess Fox of Australia beat her time? Tense.
07:27 AM
Men's trap: Jiri Liptak takes gold
Two other Czech Olympians in action in the men's trap. After Coward-Holley's elimination and bronze medal, it's Liptak who beats compatriot Kostelecky in the final after a shoot out.
07:26 AM
Women's C1: Tereza Fiserova of the Czech Republic up second-last
Franklin guaranteed a medal but what colour? Fiserova has a pretty messy start. She has picked up a penalty and is also seven seconds behind at the first split...
Good news for Franklin.
07:25 AM
Women's C1: Ana Satila of Brazil up next
Looking quick and tidy so far through the first five gates. Picks up a two-second penalty at gate seven, though and she's 3.43s behind Franklin as she slows up a bit...

At the second split she's a whole five seconds behind leader Franklin... looking likely that it will be at least a bronze for the Briton, then. A 50-second penalty there puts her in last provisionally...
Franklin retains the lead with two women left to run...
07:21 AM
Women's C1: Herzog can't beat Franklin's time...
But she goes, provisionally, into the silver medal spot.
Three women left to run in this, and they will all have to be quicker than Mallory Franklin to deny the Briton a medal... This could be tight.
07:18 AM
Women's C1: Andrea Herzog up next
She qualified second after the heats and fourth in the semi-finals. This will be interesting...
Herzog about two seconds down on Franklin at the first split...
Second split time she's 2.32s down...
07:18 AM
Women's C1: Marjorie Delassus next up
It will be an anxious wait for Team GB's Franklin. The Frenchwoman is over three seconds behind Franklin at the second split, so the Brit should retain her lead at the end. Delassus comes up short of the leading time, currently second.

Franklin still leads with four still to go.
07:15 AM
Men's trap: It's bronze for Matt Coward-Holley
He's eliminated in third. The 26 year-old falls short here today but an Olympic bronze is not too bad at all.

It's the two Czechs in the final two. Liptak vs Kostelecky. Kostelecky leads by two points at this stage with 10 targets remaining.
07:12 AM
Women's C1: Mallory Franklin posts a 108.68
That puts her in the lead comfortably at the moment but she will have to watch five more competitors to watch now... and wait.
A decent chance of a medal, though.
07:11 AM
Mallory Franklin starts her run
Looking decent so far. Picks up a two-second penalty at gate 17, though. She's 6.7sec up at the second split here and looking tidier.
Where will she finish?
07:10 AM
Men's trap: Down to the final three
Jorge Martin Orozco Diaz is eliminated after such a strong start. That means Matt Coward-Holley is guaranteed a medal, but what colour will it be? Gold looks unlikely but it could be silver or bronze.
07:09 AM
Women's C1 canoe slalom: Mallory Franklin goes for gold
She qualified in sixth in the semi-finals after being quickest in the heats. Weratschnig of Austria is next out onto the water. It starts very well but then gets very messy towards the middle of the course.
She eventually ends up leading the way with 119.41 so far. She doesn't look to happy with what she's done as she knows the quality of the competitors coming up next.
Mallory Franklin up now...
07:05 AM
Men's trap: And then there were four
Yu Haicheng in fifth is out. Coward-Holley in third after 30 targets.
07:04 AM
Golf to resume
The conditions have improved at the Kasumigaseki Country Club. Play will restart will restart at 0815 BST, so in just about 10 minutes' time.
07:01 AM
Men's trap: Coward-Holley looking increasingly safe here
Al Faihan of Kuwait and Yu Haicheng of China are the men in danger.
Al Faihan misses his 24th shot which is far from ideal. Coward-Holley misses his first in 14 to go to 21/25, having clawed his way back to gold medal contention.
After 25 shots Al Faihan is eliminated.
Team GB's Coward-Holley is currently third with 21/25 after missing his 25th shot. David Kostelecky leads the way with 23 and Jorge Martin Orozco Diaz is second with 22. So fairly tight up there.
06:55 AM
Men's trap: Team GB in bronze medal slot so far
With five shots to go before elimination, Jorge Martin Orozco Diaz leads the way with 19/20. Matt Coward-Holley is clear third in the bronze medal place with 17/20.
06:54 AM
Men's trap: Orozco Diaz yet to miss in his first 18
Next best is 16/18 - Czechia's David Kostelecky.

Coward-Holley doing decently and in medal contention with 16 from 19. Not entirely safe from elimination yet, though.
06:49 AM
Coward-Holley looking in better shape here
Having moved up out of the bottom two. Orozco Diaz of Mexico has 13/13 so far and leads the way. Al Faihan of Kuwait misses which gives Coward-Holley a bit more breathing room. They go to 25 targets before any men are dismissed.
06:47 AM
German cycling coach Patrick Moster dismissed from Tokyo Olympics
The delegation management of @TeamD at the Olympic Games in Tokyo decided on Thursday that Patrick Moster will no longer perform his duties as part of the cycling team in Team D and will leave for Germany in the near future.
Moster apologised yesterday after he was caught on camera making racist remarks during Wednesday's men's Olympic road time trial.
06:45 AM
Coward-Holley with seven from 10 so far
That puts him fifth out of six so far...
A bit more from Pippa Field, on the ground in Tokyo here.
Six shooters make up the final, and start with 25 shots each before getting gradually knocked out one by one to leave two men standing. Hopefully Coward-Holley will be one of them, bidding to add to his world and European titles.
06:35 AM
Men's trap final about to start
The defending champion, Josip Glasnović of Croatia, did not qualify for the final. Six men through to the literal gold medal shoot-out, including Great Britain's Matt Coward-Holley. Can he go one better than Ed Ling did with his bronze in Rio 2016? Or – even better – two better?

Qualifying in sixth, she will have five women going after her in the final. Monica Doria Vilarrubla just misses out on the final in 11th place, though by a margin of over four seconds.
05:53 AM
Franklin going decently
Franklin down by 0.4sec on the quickest time at the first split and two seconds off at the second split. Should still be fine though. Should.
05:52 AM
Mallory Franklin starts her run
No 2 in the world and she was the fastest qualifier in the heats. Just needs to keep it simple here. Knows what she needs to do to qualifying for the final which runs in about an hour's time.

Women's C1 semi-finals
Andrea Herzog currently completing her run and needs a time of 128.32 to qualify for the final. Would be a shock if she didn't make it, to be honest.

Mallory Franklin going for gold in C1 canoe slalom
By Pippa Field
Mallory Franklin underlined her status as a serious contender to be crowned the first Olympic women's C1 canoe champion yesterday in qualifying fastest for Thursday's semi-finals. The C1 is a new event in Tokyo, added to the schedule in place of a men's C2 to give the sport gender parity.
Franklin is already Britain's most successful female canoeist, winning individual world gold in 2017 and the European title two years later plus a whole host of team and World Cup medals. And the 27-year-old started her Tokyo campaign in fine style, going fastest in both heats with just one two-second time penalty.
Reigning world champion Andrea Herzog, of Germany, delivered the second-fastest time while another pre-race favourite, Australian Jessica Fox, was fifth fastest ahead of today's semi-finals – which are currently under way, with Franklin still go to – and final, which takes place at 0755 BST.
"I'm really pleased. I've had quite a while watching other people race so it was good to get on the start line and use today as a confidence-builder to show me I can deliver and I have the pace," said Franklin, who tapped up British team-mate Adam Burgess for his knowledge of the course after he finished fourth in his men's C1 final on Monday.
"There is a hint of getting caught up in the moment and what it means. I'm trying to be really present and enjoy it. Perhaps there were a lot of people who thought we wouldn't perform very well and it didn't warrant being at the Games but today so far we've shown that is not true. There have been some good runs and it's really tight."
We will be here for all of the updates from the C1 as well as numerous other Olympic updates throughout the day, highlighting Team GB medal hopes throughout.
