The couples that Olympic together, stay together.

Actually, I have no idea whether putting yourself through a highly-pressured professional two weeks while your other half asks if you remembered to pack their toothbrush/phone charger/spikes is a good idea of romantic harmony.

There are several couples in action at Rio 2016 though.

"It's a really, really tough track and it's also quite hilly, which I don't think any of us were expecting. So we're certainly going to have to have our brave pants on on Monday."

Great of China. Berlin. The one in the Pink Floyd song.

All famous walls, but none can touch the BBC video wall.

All the choicest cuts of action from the Games so far.

I've just watched Vicenzo Nibali and Sergio Henao's crash on the final descent in the men's road race. And a pitiless television motorbike whizz within a few feet on its way to chase the leaders.

Check out this for a picture postcard from Rio. While the surf's up, Olympic beach volleyball is under way in the background, on Copacabana beach. 

Hosting the Games is not a cheap thing, but Rio should get some tourism dollars in return on the back of two weeks of showing off its sights to the world.

There are athletes of all shapes and sizes at Rio as this picture from Team USA gymnast Ragan Smith (4ft 6in) shows as she poses with basketball player Deandre Jordan (6ft 11in).

Brazil have their first medal of the Games and Felipe Wu, whose silver medal in the men's 10-metre air pistol got the hosts on the board, get the front page of Folha de Sao Paulo to himself.

Adam Peaty, scared of water? 

The world breaststroke champion and world record holder told Get Inspired how, as a small child, he would try and climb out of the bath his fear of the water was so bad. But it all turned round when he went to his first swimming lesson.

Find out more with Get Inspired.

Adam Peaty is incredible. The guy in the next lane to him was the second best in the whole world, and he's way behind. Peaty's almost a second and a half ahead of everybody else - in a one-minute race.

He's a very powerful guy- you can see that from his physique. His pecs, his rippling abs... he's a huge machine and is able to use that to brilliant effect. And he's also very technical too - he manages to reduce his drag very efficiently - and that combination is why he is as good as he is.

Peaty's final is at 02:53 Monday morning UK time.

This picture reminds us of a scene from Rocky when he's seeing three men in front of him and his trainer tells him to hit the one in the middle.

The subject of this stunning portrait is North Korea's Ri Myong-Sun, who is in action in the women's table tennis second round later today.

Andy Murray is a man who can come off court after the tension and exertion of a Wimbledon final and shoot the breeze with Kate and Wills (of Duchy of Cambridgeshire fame) about the sleeping habits of their respective kids., external

He is not easily awed.

But when he spotted Kevin Durant on the way to the opening ceremony, he could not resist bagging himself some photographic evidence of his meeting with the United States and Golden State basketball star.

Last night all of the women riders will have been watching the men's race going: 'Wow.' The chaos we saw could potentially change their plans - will riders we want to go in an early break now? We could see more caution.

On the third crossing of the cobbles yesterday there was a real lull with the guys because over the previous two laps it was carnage. Chains coming off everywhere, seats slipping down - the bikes weren't set up for it. You don’t normally see that. They were like fish out of water.

Taking a mascot around with them didn't work out for England at Euro 2016 but it's working out better for Australia's women's team in the rugby sevens.

England players carried around a toy lion but were embarrassingly knocked out by Iceland. 

Australia's women have gone for a kangaroo as their chosen cuddly toy and got their campaign off to a winning start as they beat Colombia and Fiji on the opening day.
