Live updates
1:44am - Showjumping
Now either Meech or Goodin will qualify - and it's Meech, as Goodin takes out successive fences.
That's the last Kiwi in action tonight, join us tomorrow for another big day of competition in Tokyo.
1:40am - Showjumping
Uma O'Neill has incurred 17 penalty faults and won't make the individual final, which leaves Meech on the bubble in 30th, with two riders to come - one is teammate Bruce Goodin.
1:12am - Showjumping
Daniel Meech has finally opened the Kiwis' account and sits in 26th, with 30 to advance.
12:37am - Showjumping
Still waiting for the first Kiwi Daniel Meech to compete in a field of 73, with the first 30 to progress to the final. Uma O'Niell jumps 65th and Bruce Goodin is last to go...
12:34am - Athletics
Gill will qualify to join Walsh in the final, with his best throw of 20.96m the ninth best of the night, tied with Serb Sinancevic from the first pool. World champion Joe Kovas has also scraped through, so he lives to be a threat on another day.
12:31am - Athletics
Gill tosses 20.96m, which will promote him into the top 12 - now just a matter of waiting to see what everyone else does in response.
12:22am - Athletics
Italy's Weir has also qualified with 21.25m and the final cutoff now sits at 20.86m. That's what Gill need to make the top 12.
12:19am - Athletics
Bosnia and Herzegovina's Pezer has achieved the automatic qualifying with 21.33m and Gill has slipped out of the final fo now, with one throw to come.
12:12am - Athletics
Gill enters the circle and throws, but that's not going to help him much. It's 20.52m - he needs more.
12:10am - Athletics
Gill has slipped to fifth, but would still qualify for the final if the competiton ended now. He will want more to be sure and is capable of more.
12:07am - Athletics
Ratcliffe has slipped out of the top eight and needs to throw better than 72.87m, but she's short with 71.79m. Solid series, but she won't progress.
Meanwhile, in the shotput, world recordholder Ryan Crouser needed just one throw to qualify with 22.05m - that's a statement of intent.
12:01am - Athletics
Ratcliffe is sliding back through the field now, as the favourites gain their footing in the competition. She's now in eighth - right on the cut - with a throw to come.
11:57pm - Athletics
Wang unleashes one over 75m to take the lead - it's 75.30m - but next in the circle, world champion Wlodarczyk regroups from her opening foul to throw 76.01m for the lead.
Down the other end of the stadium, Jacko Gill has thrown 20.65m in the shot - not good enough to qualify, but enough to lead his pool.
11:55m - Athletics
Ratcliffe back in the circle - another good throw, but may not improve on her opener. Well, it's 72.69m, which is better, but doesn't improve her standing - still fourth.
11:47pm - Athletics
Ratcliffe has fallen behind Wang of China, who threw 73.21m, but several of the other favourites are struggling to record a throw. The Kiwi may be a chance here.
Frenchwoman Tavernier throws 73.54m, as Ratcliffe slips to third.
11:41pm - Athletics
Ratcliffe bails out of her first attempt, but regroups and completes the throw within the time limit. It hurtles out beyond the leading mark and lands at 72.61m.
11:38pm - Athletics
While we're still recovering from Walsh's narrow miss in the shot, fellow Kiwi Julia Ratcliffe has been warming up for the hammer final, which has just started.
She's the fourth thrower, after qualifying with 73.35m. American Brooke Andersen has opened with 72.16m, which currently leads the competition. Ratcliffe is next...
11:18pm - Athletics
There it is - Walsh is given 21.49m on his final throw and he's top qualifier from that group. That was intense.
Jacko Gill will now attempt to qualifying, hopefully more convincingly than that.
11:13pm - Athletics
But wait, it seems he has appealed the ruling and they're still deliberating. Meanwhile, Romanian Toader has thrown his last attempt.
The athletes are leaving the arena, but we still don't know if the throw has been reinstated.
11:09m - Athletics
Stanek is also below his best and probably won't progress with his 20.47m. Bukowiecki won't make it through, so now Walsh...
That's way over the qualifying mark, but another red flag, so he won't progress. Wow, that's a huge upset for the Kiwi.
He will be gutted.
11:07pm - Athletics
Kovacs can't improve, so he's stuck on 20.81m, which may still get him through to the top 12 - he sits fourth in this group.
11:05pm - Athletics
American Otterdahl improves to 20.90m, which should get him through to the final, then Egyptian Hassan unleashes 21.23m to automatically qualify - our second of the night.
Walsh slips to eighth
10:59pm - Athletics
Well, the officials have awarded Walsh a throw of 20.38m on that previous throw, obviously ruling that he did not ground his foot outside the circle. That only puts him seventh in this pool and won't be good enough to qualify, so he needs more on his last attempt.
10:52pm - Athletics
Wow, that's a foul too - it's also short. He seemed to clip a microphone beside the stop board, so technically his foot wasn't over the rim.
Walsh now faces a nervous last throw to qualify, the last thing he would have wanted.
10:51pm - Athletics
Stanek improves only to 20.47m, Bukowiecki is having technical difficulties and fouls... Walsh is up now, but waiting for a medal ceremony.
10:47pm - Athletics
Kovacs is close to the mark, but not there yet - he'll be frustrated with only 20.93m.
10:43pm - Athletics
Romani becomes the first to qualify with a 21.31m second throw - he can go rest up now.
10:40pm - Athletics
Romani still leads this pool with 21.00m and no-one really seems up for this event yet. Maybe humid conditions have made the shot or the circle slippery.
Serbian Sinancevic goes close to the automatic mark - he's out to 20.96m.
10:32pm - Athletics
Bukowiecki manages just 20.01m, Walsh is well over the mark, but is called a foul, which doesn't impress him. Possibly just put his foot over the circle.
10:29pm - Athletics
Stanek is also short and is measured at 20.23m. Bukowiecki is next, then Walsh.
10:28pm - Athletics
Brazilian Romani has the best throw so far, with exactly 21.00m, as Kovacs enters the circle.
He's short of the qualifying tape, so will need another throw. It's measured at 20.81m.
10:17pm - Athletics
Walsh is the 15th thrower of 16 in this pool, but he will hope to have just one throw, before packing up his kit and putting his feet up for the night.
His closest rivals in this group will be American world champion Joe Kovacs, Pole Konrad Bukowiecki and Czech Tomas Stanek.
10:14pm - Athletics
The men's shotputters face an automatic qualifying distance of 21.20m, which is easily achievable for both Kiwis, with Walsh the first to compete and then Jacko Gill later tonight.
The competition is beginning, with Indian Toor first to throw - he has a best of 21.49m and manages 19.99m first up.
9:49pm - Next up, our equestrian team take on jumping qualifying, while Tom Walsh is warming up for shotput qualifying at the track.
9:35pm - Gymnastics
Guan was 0.6 ahead of her nearest rival in qualifying and while this routine isn't as smooth, it's still good enough for victory with 14.633.
Teammate Tang is second and Biles takes bronze.
From the velodrome, we can tell you that officials have ruled in favour of Denmark in their crash with Great Britain in the team pursuit, so the Danes will take on Italy in the gold medal race, NZ v Australia for bronze.
9:31pm - Gymnastics
Brzailian Flavia Saraiva has to grab the beam to steady herself early, so she won't break into the medals, leaving Biles with a spot on the podium, at least a bronze.
Last competitor is Chinese Chenchen Guan, who led qualifying with 14.933.
9:27pm - Gymnastics
Vladislava Urazova of Russian Olympic Committee appears shaky and barely stays on the team at times - her 12.733 won't trouble the medal placings.
9:23pm - Gymnastics
Japanese Urara Ashikawa scores 13.733, good for fifth, but Biles still in second.
9:20pm - Gymnastics
American Sunisa Lee scores 13.866 - she wobbled a bit and managed to stay on the beam - so Biles is still second.
9:16pm - Gymnastics
Biles scores 14.000 - also slightly down on her qualifying - and sits in second place with five gymnasts to come.
9:13pm - Gymnastics
Wow, that's impressive! Great comeback from someone who has attracted considerable attention over the past week for her supposed mental health challenges.
While we have undoubtedly not seen the best of Biles during these Games, that performance should be enough to silence her critics, suggesting she's lost it. Even her opponents are excited to see her back.
9:09pm - Gymnastics
Canadian Elsabeth Black is first up on the balance beam and she scores 13.866, slightly down on her qualifying mark.
Xijing Tang of China scores 14.233, which is also down on her qualifying, but good enough to lead at this stage.
Biles is next...
8:58pm - Gymnastics
Meanwhile, at the gymnastics, American Simon Biles will compete for the first time, since her withdrawal from the team's competition last week.
Biles qualified for the all-round final and all four apparatus, but has been missing, after suffering disorientation during her vault in the team competition.
Tonight, she will contest the beam - the last of the apparatus finals - and qualified seventh with a score of 14.066.
8:39pm - Cycling
The NZ men have beaten Poland for seventh in the team sprint, trailling their rivals through two laps, but prevailing because the third Pole had dropped off the back of his teammates. Their time of 43.70s was much slower than their previous efforts.
That's it for the Kiwis at the velodrome tonight - next up is equestrian showjumping qualifying (10pm NZ) and Tom Walsh in shotput qualifying at the track (10:15pm NZ).
8:37pm - Cycling
Germany win the women's pursuit tile with a world record time, beating Great Britain.
Meanwhile, confusion still reigns over the men's pursuit, with word filtering through that Britain has been disqualified and Denmark will contest the gold-medal race with Italy.
8:13pm - Cycling
The French women have beaten NZ in the rideoff for seventh in the team pursuit - the Kiwis recorded 4m 10.600s, slower than their first round effort earlier tonight.
7:57pm - Track cycling
They're off! France take the early upper hand. They're well in front on the opening lap.
NZ can't claw it back on the second, but can Webster save them on the third?
He can't. New Zealand are out of the men's sprint.
7:55pm - Track cycling
We're not done though, because the men's sprint are back up, facing off against rance.
They need to win to race for a medal. The top two of the four winning teams will race for gold tonight, the next best two will race for bronze.
7:54pm - Track cycling
Crazy scenes in the last heat. Denmark were on track to beat that new world record, only to crash into one of the British riders who'd dropped back.
Denmark can't finish the race, so Great Britian go through into the final against Great Britian.
New Zealand will race against Australia for the bronze tomorrow night.
7:46pm - Track cycling
Apologies, New Zealand are the best placed of the losers with one heat to go, so they'll definitely get the chance to race for bronze tomorrow night.
7:43pm - Track cycling
This is going to be close! Italy claw ahead at 3500m!
What can NZ do to finish? They just miss out, and Italy have set a new world record in the process.
Italy go through to race for gold, New Zealand will have to wait and see if they get to race for bronze. New Zealand also beat the former world record for what it's worth.
7:42pm - Track cycling
But the lead changes like that! Italy take the lead at the 1500m mark, but NZ claw their way back.
Italy are in front again at 2000m - but NZ take it back at 2500m!
NZ hold at 2750m, can they close it out? They're ahead at 3000m.
7:40pm - Track cycling
A win will see NZ through to race for gold or silver, a loss would mean they'll wait to see if they can race for bronze.
And New Zealand take an early lead after 1100m!
7:39pm - Track cycling
We're ready to get underway in the men's pursuit, New Zealand v Italy.
And they're off!
7:26pm - Track cycling
The men's team pursuit are up next. They're up against Italy in heat three.
7:22pm - Track cycling
And Great Britian get off to a flyer! They're better than the Netherlands - but Jason Kenny can't finish it off!
Huge chance squandered by the Brits. They'll settle for second place.
New Zealand finish in fifth place. Theyll face France later tonight.
The two fastest winners will contest the gold medal race, with the next best two racing for bronze.
7:21pm - Diving
Anton Down-Jenkins finishes eighth in the men's 3m springboard final.
The Chinese pair of Xie and Wang take gold and silver, with Britian's Laugher getting bronze.
7:21pm - Track cycling
NZ can only manage fourth, behind France and ahead of Russia. Huge final leg from Sam Webster, but he was left with too much to do.
Only Great Britain to come.
7:19pm - Track cycling
Here we go then, what can the Kiwis do?
Silver medal winners in Rio, but they've lost Eddie Dawkins to retirement since then. Sam Dakin joins Ethan Mitchell and Sam Webster in his place.
And they're off!
7:17pm - Track cycling
France are up next in the men's sprint. They can't beat the Netherlands though, they've taken third in qualifying.
7:14pm - Track cycling
And the Netherlands have gone even better than the Aussies! They've come away with 42.134s.
Great effort first up from the Dutch.
7:11pm - Track cycling
Australia have taken the advantage in the men's sprint qualifying. Their time of 42.371s is a new Olympic record.
Still Netherlands and France to race before the Kiwis are up.
7:10pm - Diving
Down-Jenkins finishes with 69.70, giving him a total of 415.60 from his evening's work.
That will mean he won't finish any higher than sixth place.
7:09pm - Track cycling
New Zealand are seeded second in the men's sprint, so they'll race seventh of the eight teams in their qualifying.
ROC hold the lead after the first three teams, finishing faster than Germany and Poland.
7:04pm - Diving
Right then, round five is finished. Anton Down-Jenkins is eighth with a ascore of 345.90.
China's pair of Xie and Wang hold the top two spots, Britain's Laugher is third.
There's less than 100 points between Down-Jenkins and silver, but gold is now mathematically out of the question.
Barring something sublime though, don't expect a Kiwi on this podium tonight.
7:01pm - Track cycling
Back to the cycling, where New Zealand are up in the qualifying of the men's sprint.
6:58pm - Diving
Down-Jenkins produces a 66.00 with his fifth effort, and sends him up to fourth for now.
6:50pm - Diving
Down-Jenkins has moved up to seventh after the fourth round. He has 279.90 points.
China's Siyi Xi is first with 361.80. His compatriot Zongyuan Wang is second with 340.50, Great Britain's Jack Laugher is third with 333.35.
6:48pm - Track cycling
Canada have beaten France with a better time than Australia beat New Zealand by, knocking the Kiwis out of medal contention.
6:43pm - Diving
Down-Jenkins' fourth dive is 74.40, and moves him back into third place on the ladder, for now.
6:40pm - Diving
After three rounds of the 3m springboard final, Down-Jenkins is eighth.
China's Siyi Xie leads with three dives left.
6:35pm - Track cycling
Australia re-take their advantage. This is going to be a close finish though.
Australia are going to hold on here, and they have! So close for the Kiwis, they finish 0.3s behind Australia's.
The best two of six will advance into the bronze medal race, so we're in for a wait to see if New Zealand will progess.
6:34pm - Track cycling
And the Kiwis do hit the front! They're 0.301s ahead at the 3000m mark.
6:33pm - Track cycling
New Zealand are pulling Australia in, slowly. The gap is 0.139s at the 2000m mark.
6:32pm - Track cycling
New Zealand and Australia are away! The Aussies get off to a better start, and take an early lead of around half a second.
6:31pm - Diving
Down-Jenkins' third dive nets him 70.50 points, and temporarily moves him up into third place.
6:29pm - Track cycling
Over to the cycling, where New Zealand are up against Australia in the women's team pursuit. They're racing for the chance at a bronze medal.
6:25pm - Diving
Coming to the end of the second round, and Down-Jenkins is ninth with 135.00 points.
Chinas Siyi Xie is in position for the gold with 180.90. Great Britian's Jack Laugher is second with 170.75, followed very closely by China's Zongyuan Wang with 170.70.
6:18pm - Diving
Down-Jenkins steps up for his second dive, and produces another 67.50 - the same score he managed first up.
6:14pm - Sailing
NZ's 470 pair of Paul Snow-Hansen and Dan Willcox finished third in their last race.
That's seen them fourth in the standings heading into tomrrow's medal race.
That'll be at around 5:30pm tomorrow.
6:13pm - Diving
There are 12 competitors in this final. After the first round, Down-Jenkins is tied for ninth.
He's still got five attempts up his sleeve though.
6:07pm - Diving
The Kiwi produced a first-up effort of 67.50, tied for fifth.
Mexico's Rommel Pacheco Marrufo leads after his first jump with 83.30.
There are six rounds of diving before we know who wins.
6:05pm
Junior misses a medal by 12 points. But he improves on his seventh-placed finish from Rio 2016.
There's no time to relax though, because Anton Down-Jenkins is up in the final of the men's 3m springboard diving final.
6:01pm - Sailing
This is going to be a close finish!
Hungary's Zsombor is going to win the race, but Giles Scott has soared up into gold contention!
Heiner finishes second, and ensures Junior won't medal. Junior meanwhile is spat out the back - so he'll finish fifth.
Scott takes the gold, Berecz silver, and bronze for Spain's Cardona Mendez.
5:58pm - Sailing
Another change in the lead. Hungary's Berecz has passed Lilley, with Netherlands' Nicholas Heiner now in the lead.
That should still mean bronze for Junior though.
5:54pm - Sailing
So, Junior's medal hopes all depend on where Spain's Cardona Mendez can finish.
Approaching the third mark, and Australia's Lilley loses a bit of ground to Berecz of Hungary.
Junior is still third. Cardona Mendez has dropped to ninth - which would see Junior take bronze!
5:50pm - Sailing
Leg three, and Junior is still third.
If it finishes like this, he'll just miss a medal in fourth place.
5:47pm - Sailing
Onto the second leg, where Junior has climbed up into fourth place!
We're still trying to calculate what these current standings would mean for medals!
5:45pm
Elsewhere, Lisa Carrington's 85-year-old nan couldn't hide her delight at the golden afternoon the Kiwi paddler produced today!
5:43pm - Sailing
Approaching the first mark, and Australia's Jake Lilley has the lead. Hungary's Berecz is second. Sweden's Max Salminen third, while GB's Scott has worked back to fourth.
Josh Junior is ninth.
5:37pm - Sailing
Australia take the early lead, Hungary second and Netherlands third.
Junior isn't in the top five as of right now.
5:35pm - Sailing
And Giles Scott has had a false start and been forced to go back to the start line!
That could be huge in the scheme of things!
5:33pm - Sailing
They're away in the start. There are five legs in this race.
GB's Giles Scott is guaranteed a medal at the very least.
5:30pm - Sailing
Josh Junior is about to get underway. He's fourth in the standings, behind Great Britian's Giles Scott, Hungary's Zsombor Berecz, and Spain's Joan Cardona Mendez.
5:05pm - Sailing
What a final race, and what a win for Great Britain. Burling and Tuke add another Olympic silver to their collecion, along with gold from Rio 2016, and two America's Cup.
That's not it from the sailing though, with Josh Junior up at 5:30pm in his medal final.
4:58pm - SILVER FOR BURLING AND TUKE
It's a drag race to the finish! Britian with the lead, but Germany are closing the gap!
It's not going to matter though, Great Britain get there first, and they'll take gold!
4:56pm - Sailing
We're approaching the finish, and there's less than 10 metres between Germany and Great Britian!
They trade places, New Zealand are comfortably back in third.
4:55pm - Sailing
Leg four of four. Germany will decide who takes the gold!
But Britain take the lead as the boats cross! That would mean gold for them and silver for New Zealand.
4:52pm - Sailing
Approaching the third mark. Germany hold the lead, but Britain are hot on their tail.
New Zealand are third, but they just need to finish within one place of Great Britain for the gold.
4:49pm - Sailing
And Germany take the lead on leg three! Great Britian are second, the Kiwis third.
That would also mean gold for Burling and Tuke!
What a medal race this is proving to be!
4:47pm - Sailing
Coming to the end of the second leg. Great Britain hold their lead, but the Kiwis move into second.
That'd mean gold for Burling and Tuke if it stays this way.
4:44pm - Sailing
If things were to stay like this, Great Britian will take the gold.
Spain have recovered to be in fourth place, but they'll have to make up a lot of ground to get back into the hunt for gold.
NZ and Germany are tussling for second.
4:42pm - Sailing
Great Britian hold the lead on the second leg. Germany are in second place, with the Kiwis third.
4:41pm - Sailing
Coming towards the first mark, and Burling and Tuke drop back to fifth. Great Britian have the lead as the fleet round the mark.
Spain have a shocker around the first mark, they were in gold medal contention, but we'll have to wait and see how this affects them.
4:38pm - Sailing
It's tight at the top, but Burling and Tuke are right in the mix.
The crews from Denmark, Spain and Great Britian are also towards the front on the first leg.
Great Britain and Spain are New Zealand's main competition for the gold, both four points back from Burling and Tuke.
4:35pm - Sailing
The Kiwis need a top two finish to guarantee gold. Third place would mean other teams' finishing position comes into it.
4:32pm - Sailing
They're away in the pre-start, before we get underway!
4:30pm - Sailing
Right then, can NZ bring home a third gold of the day? Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are just about to get underway in their 49er final.
They'll start in less than two minutes.
4:24pm - Sailing
Snow-Hansen and Willcox finish 6th in race nine, and stay fifth on the points table in the 470 class.
They're on track to reach tomorrow's final, needing a top 10 spot.
4:08pm - Sailing
Moving to Enoshima Yacht Harbour, where the sailing is back underway after yesterday's postponement.
Paul Snow-Hansen and Dan Willcox are up in race nine of the men's 470.
Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are racing from 4:30pm in their 49er final.
3:49pm - Cane sprint
Another gold for Lisa Carrington, her fourth, and a first for Caitlin Regal.
Poland come home to take second, and Hungary take third!
3:49pm - LISA CARRINGTON AND CAITLIN REGAL WIN GOLD
Huge effort and the Kiwis get home for gold!
3:48pm - Canoe sprint
And again, Carrington and Regal power out to a lead!
Two Hungarian pairs provide chase, but the Kiwis take the lead at halfway.
3:47pm - Canoe sprint
They're away!
3:44pm - Canoe sprint
There's no slow-down in this afternoon's action though, as Lisa Carrington backs up for another shot at gold.
This time, she's alongside Caitlin Regal in the K2 500 final.
3:38pm - Boxing
Just waiting on the final scorecards, but this should go in favour of Gadzhimagomedov.
They're in, and Gadzhimagomedov takes it on a split decision.
A tough result for the Kiwi, but he'll still take bronze.
3:37pm - Boxing
ROUND THREE
Can Nyika cause an upset? Gadzhimagomedov continues to control the pace with his reach advantage, but Nyika gets close to land a couple of blows.
Gadzhimagomedov is throwing more quality punches though, as we enter the final minute of the bout.
Final 10 seconds, and Nyika gives it everything, but runs out of time.
3:34pm - Boxing
Waiting on the second round scorecards, and again it's four to one in favour of Gadzhimagomedov.
That effectively means Nyika needs a knockout in round three.
3:33pm - Boxing
ROUND TWO
Four of the five judges give Gadzhimagomedov the first round, what can Nyika come back with?
Round two gets underway. Gadzhimagomedov is controlling the pace of the fight to start with, and lands some healthy jabs to the Kiwi's face.
But Nyika throws some big punches to come back! Into the final minute, and both fighters are clearly tired.
Nyika's backed onto the ropes again, but connects with Gadzhimagomedov's face.
The bell goes again, a close one, but you'd probably have to give it to Gadzhimagomedov again.
3:29pm - Boxing
ROUND ONE
Three three minute ounds on the cards. Both fighters come out swinging, but no real shots of not landed to start.
Nyika throws a huge right hook but Gadzhimagomedov doesn't seem to wear it.
Nyika is looking to stay close to Gadzhimagomedov to eliminate his reach advantage. Gadzhimagomedov lands a couple of blows and Nyika's on the ropes!
He survives, and wraps Gadzhimagomedov towards the end of the round. The bell goes, but you'd probably have to give it to Gadzhimagomedov.
3:25pm - Boxing
ROUND ONE
The fighters touch gloves, and they're underway!
3:24pm - Boxing
Gadzhimagomedov makes his way to the ring first, wearing red.
Nyika is second, in blue.
3:23pm - Boxing
Gadzhimagomedov is the reigning amateur world champion, and hasn't lost a fight for four years.
This will be a huge upset if David Nyika can get up and win here.
3:21pm - Boxing
That quarter-final has just finished meaning that Nyika v Gadzhimagomedov is minutes away.
3:17pm - Boxing
Nyika v Gadzhimagomedov looks like it'll be slightly delayed, as the men's lightweight quarter-final is going down to the wire.
3:10pm - Canoe sprint
In case you misse it, Lisa Carrington has won a third Olympic gold medal - and can add another later today!
The K2 500 final - alongside Caitlin Regal - is at 3:46pm.
3:00pm - Boxing
What an afternoon already, and there's plenty more to come as well!
Up next for the Kiwi contingent is boxer David Nyika, facing ROC's Muslim Gadzhimagomedov.
He's guaranteed at least bronze, with the two semi-final losers both receiving medals.
2:43pm - Diving
And Anton Down-Jenkins has qualified for the final! He holds on to eighth spot and will dive again at 6:00pm tonight.
2:43pm - Diving
Back to the diving, where Anton Down-Jenkins is eighth after his sixth dive.
Still more divers yet to finish though.
2:38pm - LISA CARRINGTON WINS GOLD
Great start from Carrington! And no one's even close to her!
And that's it! She wins gold!!!
2:37pm - Canoe Sprint
They're away!

Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Tokyo Olympics, where canoeist Lisa Carrington, and sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have a chance to defend the titles they won five years ago at Rio.
Carrington barely raised a sweat on Monday, as she cruised directly through to semi-finals in both K1 200 - her specialty event - and (with Caitlin Regal) K2 500. Her tough schedule could see her contest four races in little more than three hours - two finals.
As two-time defending champion, 10-time world champion and unbeaten since 2012, Carrington arrived in Tokyo as a near gold-medal certainty over 200m and admits that, at this stage of her career, her biggest rival is herself.
That said, these Games have seen several sporting legends toppled in the post-COVID era.
Burling and Tuke also occupy that status, after six 49er world titles, Olympic gold at Rio 2016 and silver at London 2012, and of course, two successful America's Cup campaigns with Team NZ.
Their Monday medal races was postponed due to unfavourable weather conditions, but they take a four-point lead into the double-point finale and can merely cover their nearest rivals to secure victory.
Another competing for medals today is boxer David Nyika, who is guaranteed at least bronze, but can graduate to gold or silver with victory over Russian Muslim Gadzhimagomedov, who has beaten him before.

'Not here for second': Kiwi Walsh readies for tilt at shotput gold
Former shotput world champion Tom Walsh is on the hunt for Olympic gold and knows he'll need a personal best to even make the podium in Tokyo.
The 2016 bronze medallist says he's in the best condition of his career - and is refusing to bet on any 'favourites' other than himself.
Just hours after Dame Valerie Adams threw for bronze and our gold medalists boarded a bus for the airport home, Timaru native Walsh touched down in Tokyo.
"It's been a long time coming," Walsh says of his Tokyo bow. "This is what I do this for.
"I do the sport to wear the silver fern and to win when it really matters. I'm not coming here to get second."
Walsh means business and he's got form, with six consecutive competition wins in the lead-up to the Olympics.
The 29-year-old reckons he's in better nick now than he was when he won bronze in Rio - but then again, so is the competition.
"Well, one thing I'll tell you for sure, you're not gonna get bronze with 21.26 or whatever I threw.
"You might not even get in the top eight."
American defending champ Ryan Crouser broke the world record this year with a mammoth 23.37m throw.
"I'd hate to see that he peaked a bit early. That would be terrible to see."
Walsh is predicting a 23m podium standard. He's only managed 22 metres-plus twice this year.
"I think that's the type of shape you need to be in. It does give you a real opportunity to bring home the silverware - or the gold, I should say.
"It's all on."
The five-year wind-up is over, it's time for Walsh to throw.
