A little French girl in the crowd behind me has been shouting Simone Biles name this whole time. Biles just finished her warm up on the bars & turned around & waved at her. The girl just burst into tears!! I’m not sure I’ve seen a female athlete have this much of an impact before.

The fact that Arsenal Women are helping spread awareness of cervical cancer and they're doing this before kick off in front of a stadium full of girls and women is amazing. Women's sport is so important for so many reasons.

In the space of minutes we’ve just witnessed Alex Yee win the triathlon with the most incredible finish and now GB make history winning the women’s quad sculls final, with another incredible finish. If this doesn’t get you going nothing will. IMAGINE NOT LIKING SPORT!!!!!!!!.

@Kalyan_Sri_ I have another one… At the end she was with the team getting pics. Loads of photographers obviously. She then spotted a photographer in a wheelchair at the back - so she got the team back together and posed for him separately. Such a little but important thing to do.

12 year old Betty would be absolutely beside herself! Reporting on the Olympics for @BBCSport is an UNBELIEVABLE dream come true. An honour to talk about these incredible athletes and tell their stories. Starting with the gymnastics (no better place to start imo) #PARIS2024
