French gymnast Samir Ait Said suffered a horrific leg break while performing in the vault.

The 26-year-old was taking part in the men's qualification event at the Rio Olympic Arena.

He was taken away on a stretcher and waved to the crowd who responded by clapping him off.

Peng Shuai has taken a topsy-turvy second set in her match with Heather Watson.

Brit Watson served for the match at 6-5, but Peng dug deep to take it to tie-break, and although Watson saved two match-points, Peng held firm to take it to a decider.

Rafal Majka is blowing and going backwards. He's been caught by Jakob Fuglsang and Greg van Avermaet as they turn on to the sea front and 500m to go. Which of the three will be Olympic champion?

Amber: I feel like crying for these road race leaders who rode for 6 hours then crashed. All that hard work for nothing.

Derek Bithell: No way gutted for you Geraint Thomas, another great race hope he's not scratched up to much. Gutted seriously gutted.

Natalie A Edwards: Poor Geraint Thomas! So near yet so far. Hope he's OK.

Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang and Belgium's Greg van Avermaet are the two men chasing down Rafal Majka as they draw close to Copacabana. This is going to be so close for the three medals.

So, can the chase group get hold of Rafal Majka? They are 13 seconds behind with 4.7km to go. They seem to be making up ground with Greg van Avermaet leading the way - this isn't over.

That crash from Vincenzo Nibali held up Joaquim Rodriguez, but Poland's Rafal Majka has come out OK and has stormed up the road and is on course to win gold.

There's 9km left.

Argh!!! Geraint Thomas comes a cropper on the descent too and is on the floor. He looks OK but he's not getting back on his bike. The Briton is out and his medal hopes are dashed.

Oh my goodness. Race favourite Vincenzo Nibali has pushed the limits of this descent too far and has spilled on the same left-hander. He's out of the race.

Astonishing!

Great Britain's Adam Peaty has just set a new world record in the men's 100m breaststroke.

His time of 57.55 was over a second ahead of everyone else in his heat.

Tour de France winner Chris Froome is still trying to chase down the group behind the leaders. That group contains Geraint Thomas.

But there are three leaders and as it stands, they'll be fighting it out for the medals - Italy's Vincenzo Nibali, Poland's Rafal Majka and Spain's Joaquin Rodriguez.

Nibali's attempted break failed. The trio have 15secs on the group behind with 15.4km to go... they can still be caught.

Can't argue with this - will there be a medal for Great Britain to round it off nicely? 

Spain's Joaquim Rodriguez has joined the lead group. Chris Froome is trying to do the same - but he hasn't achieved it yet. Will the well be dry if he does make contact?

Meanwhile, Colombia's Sergio Henao and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali have broken away at the front of the race. If this sticks, they'll be guaranteed a medal - barring any falls on this wicked descent. 

Poland's Rafal Majka has managed to join them but Nibali has pumped a bit harder and he's pulling away by himself.

There's 17.1km to go.

Orrrr, open up a few tabs and watch them all!

Amy Thompson: I swear these guys have been cycling all day!! Epic! Come on Froomey!!

Matthew Britten: Watching the road race - I'm absolutely exhausted!

It's been some effort by the riders that is for sure. Nearly there now.

Men's gymnastics qualification

The British men have produced an impressive set of displays in the team and individual all-around qualification event.

The team are currently ranked second on the floor and first after the pommel horse section, with both Louis Smith (pictured) and Max Whitlock in excellent form.

Whitlock, 23, who won two bronze medals at London 2012, is heading the all-around qualification list with four apparatus remaining.

Geraint Thomas has a genuine medal chance as he sticks with the pace of the lead group. 

Vincenzo Nibali, Greg van Avermaet and Rafal Majka are all there - esteemed names in cycling.

It's a grueling climb to Vista Chinesa - but it's the last time they will need to do it.

Who has the fortitude to freewheel it down the descent on the side?
