This was the scene at Lagoa a little earlier, where the miserable weather and high winds forced the cancellation of the rowing programme...

Emma Pooley pushes all the way to the line, but she has left far too much time out on the course.

The Briton comes in a minute and a half behind clubhouse leader Tara Whitten of Canada and is soon shunted out of the medal spots by Katrin Garfoot of Australia and Alena Amialiusk of Belarus.

If you are still to find out who your Olympic Games body match is, what are you waiting for? 

We've discovered, using our unique test, that Daniel Craig is a match for French fencer Vincent Anstett.

Craig always looked quick and agile when playing the role of James Bond. 

Barring an extraordinary comeback, this is not going to be Emma Pooley's day.

The Briton - ninth quickest through the first checkpoint - is nearly a minute adrift of Canada's Tara Whitten through the second check.

She has a little over 10km to try and find a miracle.

Defending champion Kristin Armstrong is quickest on the course, nearly five seconds quicker than Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini through that first check. 

Never mind the cyclists, this weather isn't great for BBC TV commentators either...

There is no rowing on the menu today after the high winds caused the day's action at Lagoa to be called off.

But the live streams are leaping into life over here.

The Netherlands' Ellen van Dijk nibbles a little bit too much off the inside line around a corner and ends up on the bumpy stuff.

A lapse in concentration. But it does not prove as costly as it could have been.

She stays upright and is helped back aboard by an official from the team car.

If Tara Whitten has gone out within herself, then Emma Pooley is really in trouble.

Being anti-social, it was my favourite place to be - on my own.

This American kit looks like it has taken an Idaho trucker's belt buckle for inspiration.

Defending champion Kristin Armstrong is off and running and the entire field is out the course.

Great Britain's Emma Pooley comes through the first check point at 10km...and she is down. Well down.

The 33-year-old is 33 seconds behind Canada's Tara Whitten.

That is the second fastest time through that point so far, but the class of the field are still to come.

I think this is the best we have done for a very long time and we still have some big races to come. I am thrilled for James Guy especially because this is extra special after the week he has had. 

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and the men's 4x200m freestyle relay team added two silver medals to Team GB's tally and Jazz Carlin, who also won silver earlier in the week, has high for more...

She is probably about 110rpm right now which is very high for a time trialist. I'm not sure if it's forced or a chosen style because it's quite bizarre for a time trailist.

The wind is blowing off the Atlantic and gusting hard but you can tell that so far it's not having too much of an impact.

There is a split in the field between those who have opted for disc wheels on the rear - which maximise aerodynamics but can act as sails if they get caught in a side wind - and those who have stuck with spokes.

The slick road surface is turning descending into a real test of nerves.

There is not a lot of traction and Belgium's Lottie Kopecky drags a toe along the tarmac to stabilise her bike around a corner, not daring to touch the brakes.

There was a corner in the 2km stretch which is quite sharp so the narrowness of the road does actually impact the riders' style.

Emma Pooley has come out of retirement because of this course. She didn't race in London because the course was too easy for her. 

She's so small and slight and the wind could very well play a part, hopefully not to the detriment of Emma.

Pooley retired from cycling to concentrate on triathlon, but was tempted back for Rio after an approach from British Cycling. A policy that did not go down well with some of Britain's cycle specialists, notably Dani King.
