Hello, and welcome back to Standard Sport’s live coverage of the Tokyo Olympics!

Organizers moved the tennis schedule back
After Spain’s Paola Bardoza had a heat stroke and left the court in a wheelchair, the organizers agreed to the players’ request to change the tennis schedule.
After Bardoza lost 6-3 to Naomi Osaka’s conqueror Markta vondrosova in the first set of her singles quarterfinals, she needed medical treatment.
She later recovered, but withdrew from the mixed doubles opener with Pablo Carreno Busta. Her coach Javier Marty said: “Today’s conditions are too difficult to play.
“In the last two points, she felt very bad and served very slowly. After she asked for treatment, she had no energy, dizzy and unable to continue.”
Men’s second seed Daniel Medvedev also struggled in the third round against Fabio Fognini and heard him say: “If I die, who will be responsible?”
Many players complained about being forced to play in the hot and humid noon. Novak Djokovic believed that the game should start later in the day.
The International Tennis Federation, which organized the event, was originally scheduled to start the game at 11 am, but it was changed to 3 pm from Thursday.
The ITF said in a statement: “For the health and welfare of the players, after extensive negotiations, the ITF announced a change to the schedule because Tokyo is currently experiencing more and more heat and humidity.
“Due to the results of the five games being held today and the size of the player’s field, it is possible to decide to start the game from 3pm on Thursday in order to further protect the health of the players.
“This was made in consultation with the International Olympic Committee, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Olympic broadcast services, and Olympic tennis players, referees, medical experts and other key stakeholders.”
“In Paris, it will be a different color”
Charlotte Dujardin received the bronze medal for personal dressage: “To be honest, I can’t believe it. For Gio’s new partner, trying and staying within the medal range is a big requirement. He has a heart of gold. It was a new kind of freestyle, we had never done it before, and he gave everything. I am proud of him.
“Bringing an inexperienced horse is unknown. You don’t know how they will react. He gave everything. If I didn’t win a medal, it would be like winning anyway. He could never do it again. To get two A medal, I cried, I never cried. It means a lot and I am proud.
“Think I have achieved this, it is absolutely exciting [become the most decorated British woman in the Olympics.] There are so many incredible female athletes who have achieved so many achievements-I have surpassed them all. This is surreal, isn’t it, you can only dream of these things.
“Gio is still green, and there are many more in the future. In Paris, this medal will be another color-it’s so exciting.”
“I am very satisfied with its ending”
James Hall“I’m full moon. After the uncertainty of the last year, it’s so refreshing. I’m speechless and unbelievable. Thanks to Joe, he made some mistakes and he’s right behind me. He is the future.”
Joe Fraser“I made some mistakes along the way, but that was gymnastics. It was a part of exercise. I put it on my chin. I tried to do some performances.
“On the biggest stage in the world, I am very satisfied with its ending.”
