    Heartbreak for GB's Tuttonpublished at 02:55 British Summer Time 12 August 2016

    Women's 200m breaststroke final

    Chloe Tutton came agonisingly close to a medal in the final.

    And afterwards she expressed frustration at finishing behind the controversial Russian Yulia Efimova.

    She said: "Being in fourth place is a bit gutting, no matter who is in front of you. I would've preferred it to have been a completely clean Games.

    "I couldn't help who was here. I'm not happy with it, but it's just the way it is.  People just have to get on with it. I would've preferred to have a medal."

    USA's Ryan Murphy hangs on for gold in a nail bitingly close 200m backstroke final, clocking a time of 1:53.62. 

    He narrowly beat Australia's Mitch Larkin to gold with Russian Evgeny Rylov taking bronze.

    This race is Michael Phelps' first chance to become the only swimmer to win four consecutive gold medals in a single event.

    He won this race in Athens - pipping Ryan Lochte - in Beijing, and in London.

    Remarkable longevity.

    Tom Fordyce
    Chief sports writer in Rio

    This may have been Fiji's first ever Olympic medal and GB's third team sprint gold in three Games, but both provided magical moments.

    In the velodrome Britain's trio put right all the problems of the intervening four years, Skinner's addition earlier this year plus the power of Hindes and experience of Kenny giving their nation's track team a huge boost. 

    And Fiji's story - winning gold in the sport they have defined and inspired, coached by Londoner Ben Ryan, transforming the mood of a troubled island nation - is a biopic waiting to happen.

    Olympic bronze medal swimmer

    People said that when Mark Spitz won seven medals that it would never happen again. I do believe that there will be a guy who can win multiple gold medals, but not Games after Games like Michael Phelps.

    Such is the power of Michael Phelps that in the USA they want to change the times of the swimming.

    Mad half hour for Phelpspublished at 02:39 British Summer Time 12 August 2016

    You don't win 25 Olympic medals without mastering a hectic schedule but the great Michael Phelps has got a very busy end to his evening tonight.

    First he goes for gold in the 200m individual medley (03:01 BST) - up against old nemesis Ryan Lochte once more - and then, just 33 minutes later he's back in the pool for a 100m butterfly semi-final against Britain's James Guy.

    Makes you (even more ashamed) to be so unfit doesn't it?
