    Team dressage

    While Driscoll and Page go in the trampolining final, Charlotte Dujardin is about to become the last rider out in the team dressage final. She needs something spectacular to stop Germany from winning gold...

    Marks also get added for how long athletes spend in the air. Three parts then - what you do, how well you do it and how long you spend in the air. It's also not unheard of for competitors to fall off the trampoline...

    Women's final

    There's a huge red cross in the middle of the trampoline. That is where the athletes are aiming to land. The judges are looking for height, style and execution.

    Equestrian: Dressage team final

    Tennis legend Boris Becker is loving the dressage, especially with his Germany team heading for the gold medal.

    Great Britain are currently second, although they do have Charlotte Dujardin, the individual gold medallist at London 2012, still to come.

    China have taken both gold and silver in the men's 20km walk in Rio, with Wang Zhen taking the top prize in one hour 19 minutes and 14 seconds, and Cai Zelin winning silver.

    Brit Tom Bosworth, 26, led until the hour mark, but faded in the closing stages, finishing sixth.

    Dane Bird-Smith of Australia took bronze.

    British skeet shooter Amber Hill reacts to placing sixth at the Olympics: "The nerves were definitely running high today, there's no doubt about that.

    "No matter what you say about an Olympics it's hard out there. It's an incredible feeling to have family here.

    Hill, who is a trained beautician, added: "My nails today are a bit different but I thought I'd go for the Union Jack, you can see them on my social media."

    And that trampolining final is coming right up, just before we turn our attention to the velodrome.

    Earlier I said GB will line-up in the women's team sprint. They won't. They will very much be going for gold in the men's team pursuit, though.

    Team GB have made history by having two female competitors reach the final of the women's trampoline.

    The scores will now be reset as they perform one more routine in a bid to secure a medal.

    Bryony Page will be second up...

    Bang bang, job done. Diana Bacosi of Italy overcomes her compatriot Chiara Cainero and that's skeet gold for a shooter who Amber Hill beat to win European gold last year.

    Alas today was not Hill's Olympic moment but as Bacosi wipes a tear away to the sound of applause, this is very much hers.

    Big roars from the Italians in the stands, that's their 15th medal, three behind GB.

    Upset alert!

    United States, the world and three-time defending Olympic champions, are out, losing a penalty shootout to Sweden.

    1-1 after 120 minutes, Christen Press missed a vital fifth penalty for the States allowing Lisa Dahlkvist the chance to win it.

    After much faffing about from US goalkeeper Hope Solo, including changing her gloves, Dahlkvist slotted to spark riotous Swedish celebrations.

    Team dressage

    It looks likely that Great Britain will soon be in possession of another medal, but it is not set to be gold - Germany have a healthy lead. Carl Hester is currently out on Nip-Tuck, with Charlotte Dujardin out last.

    I'll be honest, there's a plethora of odd-looking sports going on at the moment. Over at the dressage, the imagination of the Rio public has not been captured - plenty of empty seats. Meanwhile, the pack in the 20km has once again caught Tom Bosworth. He's putting us through the wringer.

    The Olympic Tennis Centre erupts as Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci takes the first set against 2008 gold medal winner Rafael Nadal, and it's fair to say the home crowd are backing their man. It's very much a Davis Cup atmosphere out there.

    No shortage of drama in the skeet. The bronze medal match goes to a shoot off and after an early miss each, American Kimberly Rhode and China's Meng Wei just keep on finding targets.

    Eventually Wei folds and Rhode is the only female in history to win a medal at six consecutive games.

    The warm embrace from coaches is richly deserved. She is also the first person ever to win a medal on every continent.

    Bosworth, though, isn't giving this one up without a fight. He fights back into the lead, giving a little roar as he goes. There's about 5km to go.
