    Matt Baker and Dan Keating are just a tad nervous before the men's gymnastics final. "My heart says gold, but my head says fifth," says Baker. "It's so close, it could go either way."

    The Olympic Arena is gradually filling up, a number of spectators with Union flags are in the queues, making their way to the stadium, so there should be a lot of support for the GB boys.

    Who will win? Britain? China? USA? Japan? Russia? Who knows, but it should be a special occasion.

    Ling wins bronze

    Shooting

    Ed Ling held his nerve INCREDIBLY to win Olympic trap bronze!

    After a strong start in the semi-finals he started to flip back as the wind picked up and he only sneaked into a dramatic play-off for the final place in the bronze medal match.

    After that he was super focused, ruthlessly powering through the shoot-off before beating the Beijing Olympic champion David Kostelecky in the bronze medal match-up.

    It's GB shooting's first Olympic trap medal since Ian Peel's silver at Sydney 2000.

    Daley and Goodfellow may sound like a firm of accountants, but has your accountant ever landed in your bathtub from 10 metres wearing Speedos?

    If he has, make sure he's not charging you extra.

    Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow are European silver medallists - can they be Olympic medallists?

    You can watch that here from 20:00 BST.

    Wow. Enthralling stuff betwen these two with nerves of steel.

    In a sudden death shootout, Croatia's Josip Glasnovic sees off Italy's Giovanni Pellielo in the gold medal match.

    That silver for Italy is their ninth medal of the games. Remarkable.

    In case you missed it - GB's Ed Ling won the bronze a few moments ago.

    These are the British boys upon whose shoulders medal hopes rest this evening.

    GB took team bronze at London 2012 and are the world silver medallists - so you have to fancy them to leave with something hanging round their necks.

    Japan - reigning world champions - are the team to beat. They snatched silver away from GB four years ago after a review of the scores, so there's a little bit extra to that rivalry.

    Action at the Rio Olympic Arena starts at 20:00 BST and you can watch it here.

    Women's rugby sevens semi-final

    GB's Emily Scarratt, after her side lost 25-7 to New Zealand: "There is still a medal to be won. We weren't good enough in that game. We made too many mistakes. We have a game plan and we needed to stick to that. That result was probably what we deserved. We will dust ourselves off. Losing is probably the biggest to spur you on. We'll use that to give ourselves a kick up the bum."

    On the two yellow cards: "It's rugby isn't it? Those sort of things happen in the heat of the game."

    Team GB have got to refocus now and make sure they take a bronze medal home. The skill level from the women's game is astonishing. But there was so much space after the two yellow cards. Once you've got five players you're never going to win the game.

    Hey, you thought the shooting was a teeth-crunching nerve-jangler of an affair?

    Wait until the clock strikes 20:00 BST - GB's men will be in the gymnastics team final and Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow will be in the 10m platform synchro final.

    We could, and I emphasise could, have a medal rush on our hands.

    Britain's Nick Dempsey has finished second in race number three of 12 in the opening series of the men's RS:X windsurfing.

    It means that Dempsey - silver medallist in 2012 - leads the overall rankings for the event by two points ahead of race four at 17:15 BST on Tuesday.

    Dutchman Dorian van Rijsselberge, the London 2012 champion, and Vyron Kokkalanis of Greece are tied for second in the standings.

    They just made life too difficult for themselves. Two yellow cards and five players, it was inevitable the tries came.

    Still, a bronze medal match against Canada, a side Great Britain beat well yesterday, is appealing.

    Looking down at this huddle, Amy Wilson-Hardy - one of the carded players - looks to be wiping tears away from her eyes. Harsh to single anyone out and from the interactions I've had with this group, that certainly won't happen.

    A very wayward shot from Ed Ling but he has a solid cushion going into the final three shots.

    David Kostelecky hits all three - Ling leads 10-8. The bronze medal is within touching distance!
