    Phelps in tears

    You may think that after 22 times winning Olympic Gold would become routine. Rather brilliantly, it's not. Michael Phelps is in floods of tears as the national anthem plays out.

    He's racing again any minute!

    I'm so shocked by that race. I don't think it's sunk in. Cate Campbell broke the world record two months ago - how can you go from that to sixth? It just baffles me.

    That second 50m was stunning. It could have been almost anyone into the last stroke.

    That's quite stunning. That's hugely emotional. It was a bit unusual to see the Campbell sisters joking in the ready room - can't you just focus?

    It may have solved a few family arguments - neither Campbell sister has a medal!

    Bronte is fourth, Cate sixth. She paid for that lightning first 50m.

    Wow! A stunning last 50m! We have a real shock result here - two gold medallists!

    Simone Manuel and Penny Oleksiak take joint golds!

    Manuel is the first black female gold medallist in the swimming pool, and Oleksiak is just 16.

    GB's Dan Wallace after finishing eighth in the men's 200m individual medley: "It was a pretty special experience for me. It was amazing to get to an Olympic final - but the names in that final, the occasion was unbelievable. I'll go back home to Scotland now - I've spent four years in America - but I'm ready for a change and excited for the future."
