    I think we all predicted faster times across the board in qualifying for the team pursuit, for all of the nations, but the track suits the sprint dynamics.

    The team pursuit teams aren't going as fast but the GB team look super impressive compared to other nations.

    Bradley wasn't the strongest but he wasn't struggling.

    Australia win it! The first Danish rider crossed the line first, but two had dropped off. By the time they crossed, Australia were through. They await either GB or New Zealand in the final.

    Olympic sailing champion Shirley Robertson: "Nick Dempsey in the RS:X men’s windsurfing has, subject to confirmation, secured a silver medal. The gold medal will go to the Dutch sailor Dorian van Russelberghe, who won gold in 2012.

    "Nick led until halfway through but Dorian came back in the closing stages. This is Nick’s fifth Olympics, he had a silver in London and a bronze in Beijing, and he retires after this event. And Britain is currently leading in the 470 class, both the men and the women."
