Team GB now have 10 medals in the bag after they truly got up and running on Magic Monday, with Adam Peaty storming to gold in the 100m breaststroke, before Tom Daley and Matty Lee followed suit in the 10m diving.

SWIMMING – WOMEN’S 200m FREESTYLE SEMI-FINAL
Ariarne Titmus finishes first and progresses to the final.
There was no repeat of this from her coach Dean Boxall just now…but we’re holding our hopes up for the final.
WALK IN THE PARK?
Bianca Walkden goes for gold in the taekwondo later on this morning from 6.30am BST when she has her quarter-final.
RUGBY SEVENS
The result means Team GB now face the runners up in Group C, likely to be USA, in their last eight clash at 10am BST and would then be on collision course with New Zealand in the semis…
RUGBY 33-7s
Shellshocked GB were blitzed again by Rio nemesis Fiji as their 2016 revenge hopes were smashed into bits.
Skipper Tom Mitchell and Co were looking for a win in their final group match to clinch top spot and an easier quarter-final tomorrow.
But instead they had no answer to the South Sea islanders, who bounced back to form after a ropey day one with an uncompromising and devastating display as they battered the Brits 33-7.
And GB must also look at themselves as they paid the price for a series of painful errors.
MURRAY IN ACTION
And that’s not all over the next thrilling couple of hours, not by a long shot.
Andy Murray is in doubles action with Joe Salisbury against the German team of Kevin Krawietz and Tim Putz.
That one gets underway at 3am BST.
SWIMMING 200m FREESTYLE FINAL
In just under one hour’s time at 2.42am BST, Duncan Scott and Tom Dean feature for Britain in the Men’s 200m swimming freestyle final.
Will GB’s medal flurry continue?
TRIATHLON – TAYLOR-BROWN WINS SILVER
Manchester’s Taylor-Brown poses with her silver medal alongside bronze medallist Katie Zaferes from United States, and Bermuda’s historic gold medallist Flora Duffy.
‘THE FIRST LAP WAS PANIC MODE’
Georgia Taylor-Brown told BBC Sport after her phenomenal silver: “I got a puncture coming out of the park with about 2k to come and I panicked – I didn’t know what to do so I just rode on the flat.
“I lost maybe 15 seconds on the group. The first lap of the run was panic mode. I think I definitely paid for it the latter part of the run but it paid off.”
TRIATHLON – TAYLOR-BROWN WINS SILVER
That performance now takes Great Britain’s medal tally so far up to EIGHT on a cracking start to Day 4.
They are GOLD:
- Adam Peaty – Men’s 100m breaststroke
- Tom Daley and Matty Lee – Men’s 10m platform diving
- Tom Pidcock – Men’s mountain biking
SILVER:
- Bradley Sinden – Men’s 68kg Taekwondo
- Alex Yee – Men’s Triathlon
- Lauren Williams – Women’s 67kg Taekwondo
- Georgia Taylor-Brown – Women’s Triathlon
BRONZE:

TRIATHLON – RUN LAP 2/4
Second-placed Katie Zaferes now in Taylor-Brown’s sights!
This has been an incredible recovery from the Brit.
But Bermuda’s Flora Duffy is pulling away in front. The gap seemingly widening on every step.
5km to go…
TRIATHLON – RUN FIRST LAP
But what a run it has been for Taylor-Brown!
She’s overtaken team-mate Learmonth and is up to THIRD.
After that flat tyre, can she do it?
TRIATHLON – TRANSITION
The leading pack are off and Learmonth is in fourth.
Taylor-Brown is in fifth as she finally gets off the damaged bike.
It will be heroic triumph now if she wins.
TRIATHLON – BIKE FINAL LAP
Heartbreak for Georgia Taylor-Brown!
She’s got a flat tyre on the final lap and has fallen right back from the leading pack.
TRIATHLON – BIKE LAP 6/8
Two Brits – Taylor-Brown and Learmouth currently 3rd AND 4th in the breakaway group!
We head into the penultimate lap of the cycling before the transition.
All eyes on rain-lashed Tokyo…
ANOTHER CHANGE AT THE TOP
Bermuda’s Duffy is now out in front.
She is closely followed by Germany’s Laura Lindemann.
Taylor-Brown is third with Learmonth fourth.
Just two laps left to go on two wheels.
BACK IN FRONT
Learmonth has retaken the lead!
But she is just in front of Taylor-Brown.
Both are looking in great shape with just 15km left of the bike ride.
