Great Britain's Ashley McKenzie is coming out for his round-of-16 match in the -60kg.

It's only against reigning world champion Yeldov Smetov, so nothing too stressful...

The crowd is lively, as Brazilian Felipe Kitadi has just gone through.

After that minor disappointment for the British pair in the men's double sculls, we now have Norway's Olaf Tufte in the next heat alongside partner Kjetil Borch. 

Tufte is a 40-year-old competing in his sixth Olympics as he aims to win gold medal number three. Even if he only makes the podium, he will join a select band of five male rowers, including Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent, who have won four or more medals at an Olympics. 

Tufte and Borch have just finished second in their heat and are safely through to the semi-finals.

Serbia's men take a dip in the Rio waters as choppy conditions cause havoc for the world's best rowers.

Joanne Watmore streaks away to score the opening try - but Great Britain are being given a heck of a game by a Brazil side who are have come out snorting.

Russian shooter Daria Vdovina - who finished fifth in the women's 10m air rifle final - was happy to stop for an interview, but didn't have much to say on her country's participation at the Games.

When asked whether she'd been nervous over the last few weeks about whether she would be allowed to compete, she replied with a firm "no".

And what would it mean for her to win a medal for Russia when she competes again in the 50m event on Thursday? 

"I would be proud for myself and for Russia. I'm always proud to compete for Russia."

We are under way.

And Brazil - to screeches of encouragement from the stands - have an early spell of possession.

It was a really gutsy fight to try and push Italy for third place but Great Britain's John Collins and Jonathan Walton will have to go through the repechage if they are to make the semi-finals after finishing fourth.

Azerbaijan gave New Zealand an even better fight for first place, taking it to a photo finish - with the Kiwis just sneaking victory. 

The first three boats make it through to the semi-finals, with the bottom two dropping into the repechage - Cuba finished last to join the Brits.

So this rugby sevens then, did you know GB's women have a little advantage?

With Brazil in their pool, they should run in some tries which will aid them in the event it comes down to being a best third-placed qualifier.

There are three pools, two to progress and two best third-placed sides.

Prepare for a bit of history.

Great Britain's first ever women's sevens team is about to get their knees dirty.

They are facing the hosts Brazil in five minutes at the Deodoro.

Watch over here.

The six-strong leading group are holding steady, but the peloton are not putting down many watts behind.

They look like they have the measure of this breakaway.

The lead remains at five minutes.

Never mind the maths though, look at the geography.

There has been a cobbled section as well to put some vibration through the field as well.

Nineteen-year-old American Ginny Thrasher is the first athlete to step onto the top of the podium and collect a gold medal at the Rio Games.

New Zealand are here alright. It took them 14 seconds to score a try against Kenya.

As well as Sonny Bill Williams' sister Niall, Kayla McAlister, the sister of former All Black and Sale fly-half Luke, is in the New Zealand women's team.

She has crossed for her team's second score.

You can watch over here.

Reports emerged of the incident last night , externalwith Israel sailing team trainer Udi Gal claiming on Facebook that "the organizers wanted to avoid an international and physical incident and sent us away to a different bus.”

No problems with capsizing for Britain's Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley in the doubles sculls as they finish second in their heat to reach the semi-finals. 

They were given warm congratulations by the Great Britain fans, who look like the most numerous contingent so far and have had a successful morning from their point of view.

This could be the difference between Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley believing they can get a medal and delivering on a medal.

What they’ve done now is they’ve let Lithuania have a mental edge on them.

Right now the only positive they can take is they’ve got the boat speed, but not the endurance.

Can Katherine Grainger grab an incredible fifth Olympic medal, at the age of 40?

She and Victoria Thornley have just sent Great Britain through to the semi-finals of the women's doubles sculls - so Grainger is well on the way.

They stormed into a lead that gives real hope of what still could be to come, before slipping into second behind Lithuania. Third place went to the French boat, who also go through.

Serbia's men equalise with just four seconds left to secure a dramatic 13-13 draw against Hungary.

It's a hugely exciting day for rugby. We're hoping this first appearance at the Olympic Games is going to show sevens in its best light. The women's event starts today and there really are some fantastic teams and individuals involved.

Early assessment - and let's stress early - is that Brazil hasn't yet got the rugby sevens bug. The crowd inside the stadium here In Deodoro is noisy considering how humble it is in size. One stand is well populated, three aren't.

France just hammered Spain 24-7. A good contingent of French here. Team GB's women are up in half an hour.

Zero coverage on any stand so if you've not brought a hat it's a big error.
