Paris Olympics live: Jason Day starts final round of golf five strokes ...
Australian Jason Day is in the running for a medal as the final round kicks off at Le Golf National, while Australia's athletics stars hit the Olympic Stadium, the Fox sisters clash in kayak cross, and the swimming program wraps up.
Follow all the action from day nine of the Paris Olympics live.
The Danish player shot 9-under yesterday, so if Jason can match that he will give it a real shake. Gogogo Jason !

He shot seven birdies and a double-birdy in a round of 62!
Here's hoping Jason Day can replicate that.
And this may be stretching the imagination, but if Min Woo Lee does the same, and the top of the leaderboard don't perform, he could be in with a shake.
We're underway in the final round.
A big crowd watched Jason Day tee off on day two.(Getty)Another huge crowd is expected - a reported 20,000 fans attended each of the first three days. That is a big turnout, considering Le Golf National is 45 minutes outside Paris, and there is a lot of sport happening.
