Jade Jones loses in the first round of the taekwondo but Katarina Johnson-Thompson makes an excellent to her heptathlon campaign at Paris 2024.
Jade Jones suffered a second successive Olympic heartbreak as she lost in the women's under-57kg taekwondo in the first round.
Elsewhere, GB had a good morning at the athletics in the heptathlon and the 4x100m relay heats, while they have the possibility of more medals in the diving. They were judged to have been over the line ahead of time and, as a result, had to withdraw from the double-points race.Both Sinden and Jones were among GB's major medal hopes at these Games, and both started their campaigns on Thursday.Sinden made a strong start to progress to the quarter-finals with a 12-0 15-3 win over Papua New Guinea's Kevin Kassman. He will aim to be involved when the medals are fought for in the men's under-68kg at 20:19 BST.
She was eighth fastest overall in the opening discipline - the 100m hurdles - before going toe to toe with two-time defending Olympic champion Nafi Thiam in the high jump. The heptathlon continues on Thursday evening with the shot put followed by 200m. The athletes compete in long jump and javelin on Friday morning, before the 800m to conclude.
Once again, China top the standings. Chen Yiwen, the gold medallist from the synchro, qualified with the best score.
